I was apprehensive before starting therapy but I needn’t have been, I’ve found Paula to have an understanding and empathetic manner and to be very easy to talk to. Paula is always ready to listen, offer a kind word, useful advice, encouragement or to challenge and debate ideas with me when needed. I look forward to my sessions and always walk out feeling like a weight has been lifted. I have never thought myself to be the type of person to open up to a ‘therapist’ but Paula creates a comfortable and relaxed environment, in which I never feel judged. In short Paula has (literally) been a life saver for me and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Paula helped me a lot and has given me some tools to help me with my anxiety. She is the first therapist I have met who I felt understood my problems, thank you.

I felt at ease with Paula right from the start of our sessions. She is a good listener as well as offering sound and helpful advice. At no time did I feel rushed or that Paula was `clock watching`. I came to Paula rather late in my illness, whilst waiting for an NHS appointment, so I think the worst of my problem was subsiding by the time I saw her. To sum up I found her a very empathetic person and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone I knew who was having similar problems to myself.
