I went to Peter because of long-standing issues with my sleep, and found his approach of working with the whole body and physical manifestations of emotions, as well as the mind, extremely useful. Peter was always patient, and also challenged me to explore areas of my past, personal relationships and family which I had not fully addressed or understood, which were playing out in my sleep. I was extremely grateful to Peter for his help and guidance during a difficult period, which led to some really positive and far-reaching changes in my personal and working life.

Peter provided a warm, compassionate, and understanding environment. During our work he helped me overcome and understand past behaviours and recognise and understand my emotions, until even the difficult emotions became OK to experience. Perhaps the biggest strength of our work was how he helped me realise and unlock my potential. The evidence of this is how my quality of life has improved exponentially since our work began and ended. I will look back and draw strength from our sessions for many years to come. Thank you, Peter.

Peter is an experienced therapist who really cares about his clients and is committed to this vocation. My partner and I were stuck in an unhappy and distant relationship. Peter skilfully supported both of us without taking sides or blaming. He patiently taught us both to identify and communicate our feelings in healthier ways. In the beginning sessions were difficult and painful but after a few months our relationship had improved dramatically. Then I discovered that my partner was addicted to internet porn. Peter handled this with such sensitivity that for the first time my partner was able to talk about experiences he was very ashamed of and had kept secret all his life. We have both learnt so much from Peter. Life is less scary, we have made new friends and deepened our existing relationships. Therapy has been life-changing.

Therapy is only effective if you feel empowered to bare your soul to your therapist. Emma put me at ease immediately, empowering me to be completely honest. Emma is thoughtful and perceptive. She goes to great lengths to understand the context of an issue, asking thoughtful questions in the process, rather than leaping to generic remedies. Therapy is not a silver bullet. At best it can open your eyes to an alternative way of thinking about your issues and negative thoughts. Emma is brilliantly qualified to help you do that. I'd recommend her to anyone.

After 5 sessions with Emma I decided that the time was right for me to move on and to focus on looking forward. Prior to meeting Emma I had been affected by a significant family trauma that I had been trying to cope with by myself. After 6 months it became clear to me that I needed help and so I reached out to Emma. Easy to engage with, Emma really helped me over the weeks that I saw her and I'm sure without her support, guidance and gentle challenges that I wouldn't have moved forward in such a positive way. Through both the session work and areas she gave me to think about in the week I have slowly re-pieced my life together and challenged some of the ways I managed things. I feel good about myself and life and feel lighter and more positive than I have for a long time. Emma has been positive, gently challenging and empathetic. She has not judged but had understood the seriousness of what had happened in my life. She is flexible and warm and I would thoroughly recommend her skills to anyone needing to reach out for help.

Emma helped me to go through a very traumatic experience step by step and understand the situation and my feelings, and see things from a different, more positive angle. She was a good listener, very professional in her approach and compassionate in the moments of desperation. As a patient I found it was easy to trust her and share my thoughts and feelings.

When I first contacted Emma I was very low. Over the course of our sessions Emma guided me to a point where I was comfortable to face feelings I had pushed aside and not dealt with. I felt very comfortable talking to Emma and felt I could say things I could not say to friends and family. Emma is a great listener, not judgmental and approaches difficult subjects professionally but kindly and openly and was very aware of my well being. I can honestly say I feel better now than I have done for a very long time. My anxiety is no longer limiting me, I sleep better and do not wake up with panic attacks. I no longer dwell and have reduced negative thought patterns. At times when I needed extra support Emma saw me and supported me. I am in a much better place as a direct result of my sessions with Emma.
