I found Beverley very easy to talk to and understanding. She took great care in trying to understand me and my feelings, to best help me which she did extremely well. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.

Beverley and I discussed the issues I was having and she asked questions in a sensitive non judgemental manner. Her thoughts and suggestions made sense when she explained a lot of my feelings were normal and how I may be able to handle them.

Beverley provides an open and easy atmosphere to discuss your problems. She's never judgemental or critical and displays a wealth of empathy and genuine concern for her clients' issues. In a very short space of time Beverley has been able to show me how to unburden myself and to identify the root causes of many of the problems that I discuss with her. I have visited therapists before but none that have been as natural and genuine and as helpful as Beverley.

Beverley seemed to understand me from the initial meeting. She listens attentively and responds openly during each session. Beverley supports me with empathy and compassion, however challenges me appropriately to enable me to gain a deeper understanding of myself. Beverley has helped me to understand areas within myself and other relationships, where I once had uncertainty and lacked confidence. She is reliable, trustworthy and I feel totally at ease.

Beverley has helped me so much. I never thought therapy could have such a positive impact on my life but it truly has. I am very lucky I found Beverly as my therapist, very easy to talk to, she is warm, kind and honest. Before therapy I was so overwhelmed with what I was going through, now since therapy has started I can honestly say things are looking so much better. I take something positive from every session, and I always feel I am making progress. Thank you Beverly very much.

As soon as I walked through the door Beverley put me at ease, She was incredibly welcoming and easy to talk to. I have now been seeing her for about 3 months and so much of my life has changed as a result. She has helped me to look at things differently and helped me to understand why I behave in the way that I do. This, in turn, has helped me to change some of my behaviours for the better. I always feel so positive when I leave my session with Beverley and she encourages me to set myself challenges, which I have so far always achieved. My self worth means so much more to me now than it did 3 months ago and that's thanks to Beverley. I still have a way to go yet but I now know that it is achievable with the support I receive in our sessions.
