Becky has a very calm, friendly and approachable manner. I felt very safe in her hands and this allowed me to talk freely about what was on my mind without judgement. She was professional and above all she was present at all times we were in session. That hour was for me and about me and that is what I needed. I would highly recommend Becky!

Becky was good at establishing trust and an easy conversation at a steady pace, a conversation that carried over and developed over multiple sessions, without herself talking a great deal, simple steering our sessions back to the issues I identified for myself, allowing me to keep myself honest, recognise my own sources of anxiety, stress, anger and also resilience and strength. In other words Becky was good at listening and then establishing and maintaining a structure for our ongoing conversation.

Simon is so approachable and calm, I felt able to open up fully right away. He listens and offers wisdom without leading me and never has a judgement. I always feel I'm in a safe space with him and always come away feeling empowered, with a lighter outlook and I feel as calm as Simon is.

Simon has been incredible, when I first entered therapy I wasn�t sure where I was going, just that something didn�t feel right. Through gentle, caring and open conversation Simon has helped me understand these issues as well as helping me to navigate them and their causes. I can easily say that over the last six months, with Simon�s guidance, my life has changed into a far more peaceful and open one than previously.

Simon is a calming presence; he slows down the fast pace of life and has a soothing, kind tone. This has helped me to step back from problems, dial down racing thoughts, and view issues with greater clarity, objectivity and kindness. He explains concepts clearly and gets to the root of the issues quickly. We have focused on mindfulness, early years experiences/relationships, establishing boundaries, self-esteem and building a sense of self.

When choosing a psychotherapist, your own "gut" is important. The "wavelength" must be right. With Simon it was right from the first moment. If you are looking for an empathic, calm and warm therapist, Simon is the right place for you. I feel comfortable with him, he encourages me to open up and I was able to establish a very good relationship of trust with Simon. I have already been able to take a lot with me from the therapy sessions.

Malgorzata has been extremely warm and empathetic. I found it very easy to open up to her about difficult situations in my past. Without ever feeling judged. She uses a variety of methods, and is very flexible with how she approaches different issues. I have been dealing with Ocd since my childhood. After unpacking a lot of my fears and finding their origins with Malgorzata, I feel a lot emotionally healthier then ever before.

Malgorzata (Gosia) is very warm and empathetic. I immediately felt comfortable speaking with her and feel grateful for how easy she made it. She asked the right questions and helped guide me towards a deeper understanding of myself. Her style is quite flexible, in that it varies depending on what I wanted to cover. We did a lot of inner child work which involved recounting experiences and envisioning them. I feel I have come a long way in 16 sessions and would recommend Gosia to anyone on their healing journey. Really happy with my experience!

I am very happy that I found Malgorzata, she is an unbelievably kind and gentle person. Except relieving chats she can teach you some activities to help yourself on daily basis. I can highly recommend her services.

A very understanding but objective therapist who clearly doesn't have any preconceptions about your situation. Malgorzata has used a variety of techniques, and whilst I have controlled the subject matter, she has been able to maintain focus and ensure that each week has had a coherent structure.

Gosia has helped change my life and my understanding of myself. She provides a safe, non-judgemental, environment to explore yourself and face difficult realisations. She is very easy to talk to and open up to, and can work with you using different methods depending on the type of work you want/need to do, or the outcome you are looking for.

Malgorzata has opened my eyes to issues that I wasn't aware of, which made me think differently and helped me to release some of the burdens I carried with me for long time. Also my way of communication has improved. Malgorzata is very supportive and open, knowledgable and conscientious, a good listener and connective.

She is very warm and welcoming, adaptable, and understanding. She has a wonderful uplifting personality, but is also very able to facilitate deeper understanding. She made me feel very comfortable, as she is very grounding and intuitive.
