What worked very well for me was how strongly academic and evidence-based Debbie was. The first session consisted of being handed at least 6 different self-assessment questionnaires and getting them as homework to fill out. Then the next few sessions was Debbie digging deeper into the results, asking me on details. She then used this to inform her sessions with me. I thought it was a very effective approach. Debbie is compassionate, mirthful and very quick to jump in and stop any self-hate or self-sabotage, reminding me to stop replaying that old VHS tape of negativity. I give credit to Debbie for taking my neurodiversity seriously and recommending me a colleague of hers to get an autism assessment. True to her nature, Debbie then included my assessment into her therapy. Debbie is great if you want a more academically rigorous approach to your therapy.

Debbie, is very approachable and good at understanding key problems. She adds ideas to resolve problems. Debbie has helped me a lot.

Debbie was great to speak to and not only listened but gave some very constructive input during my meetings with her. I found this especially helpful as I had been living under circumstances for so long that they had become ‘normalised' to me, but Debbie affirmed that this situation was definitely not normal. This helped me see more clearly and to be more decisive about myself and my life. Thank you, I would strongly recommend.

Philip is excellent at helping you figure out what you need to be considering, but in a way where you're understanding things and finding your own solutions and conclusions.

Philip is able to create a relaxing environment and was able to empathise very quickly. Philip has an ability to identify the root cause quickly and relate back to me in an easy to understand style. Philip was able to challenge me to think differently about the issues that I was facing which has had a profound benefit both in my private and professional life. I would use Philip again.
