Testimonials

You just made me feel better about myself.

Mariana, 47, West Yorkshire. 4 sessions
Therapy helped Mariana cope with the stress and self-recrimination she felt following her relocation to the UK.

I have come further than I could have imagined possible.

David, 22, West Yorkshire. 30 sessions
David came to therapy suffering with depression accompanied by violent and frightening mood swings. Extended therapy enabled him to share, for the first time, his experiences of self-harm and psychosis. Finding the trust to share his experiences helped him to face his fears and manage his emotions more effectively giving him renewed hope for the future.

I gained such a lot through my therapy with Richard. Together with his kindness and patience, the techniques I have learned enabled me to move forward with a positivity and strength that I never thought I’d find. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Sarah, 33, North Yorkshire. 86 sessions
I was able to offer Sarah ongoing support, helping her live with the continuing abuse and trauma in her life whilst also helping her come to terms with her previous experiences of loss, abuse and trauma that had impacted on her life since childhood.
