‘When i walked into Beccy's office i was in a very bad place. I had been through a recent bereavement and family breakdown and was totally overwhelmed. I couldn’t stop crying and couldn’t see a way to get through. I immediatly felt safe and knew that there was someone "on my side". Beccy listened while I offloaded and gently guided me through not only the most recent trauma but the other "luggage" I was carrying from years passed. This was not a quick fix and we met weekly for over a year. After each session my burden was lifted for longer and longer periods of time. During the first weeks I was hanging on between my sessions and as time progressed became aware that I was coping for longer. My sessions were led by me with insightful support by Beccy and I am truly grateful for her help to see myself in a positive light and feel comfortable in my own skin , probably for the first time in my life. As things improved and I was coping better I gradually increased the time between sessions until I felt able to cope on my own. However I will keep Beccy's number handy and would not hesitate to contact her should I need to talk to her again.’

‘I met Beccy when I was at one of the lowest points in my life. I was full of self-loathing and could not see a way out. Counselling was a last resort. Things are still difficult for me on a daily basis, but through counselling with Beccy, my attitude towards life and more importantly towards myself has changed. I am kinder to myself and have a more positive outlook. My only regret is that I didn't pick up the phone sooner! You will not regret getting in touch with Beccy, I cannot recommend her highly enough.’

‘As a Pastoral Leader in a Secondary school, I referred a young person to Beccy for some counselling support. Beccy was very professional and was a pleasure to work with. I have also never seen such a transformation in the young person she was working with. Their whole attitude and outlook on life improved through knowing that there was someone there to talk to, listen and support. I would wholeheartedly recommend Beccy to anyone looking for counselling support.’

‘I really enjoyed my sessions with Beccy. They were extremely helpful and allowed me to learn skills that I have used in life situations. Would definitely recommend Beccy to anyone who needs counselling. Amazing!’

‘I felt like I had known Beccy for a very long time and that I could tell her anything without being judged. She didn’t tell me what to do but helped me to see what I could do for myself about my situation.’

‘Would recommend to anyone that is wanting counselling. The journey I had with Beccy was so empowering and insightful. When I felt challenged and not fully confident she helped me find my way. With no judgment, I felt she helped me find my own path and strengths, without feeling I “had” to get there because of pressure I put on myself. She has been an amazing person to work with through these hard times and I am forever grateful.’

‘I felt like no-one ever listened to me. Beccy was different. She helped me to make sense of my feelings. My relationships with my family and friends have improved since having counselling and I don’t feel as angry as I used to.’

‘I really wasn’t expecting to feel so comfortable opening up to someone I didn’t know. With Beccy I immediately felt at ease. After talking things through I have a better understanding of the direction I want my life to take.’

‘When first joining university, I was an anxious mess that struggled with mundane activities. I particularly struggled with attending social events and feeling confident with my educational abilities. However, after my very first session with Beccy, I felt liberated and that I was finally able to talk about my worries without the fear of being judged. It was so amazing to not have to sugar-coat everything I was saying and just be able to speak freely. A year on I have improved so much and ticked off so many goals which I would have never imagined doing at the start of the year. Beccy helped me to be more accepting of my condition as well as making me a more sociable and happy person.’ 

‘Thank you for helping me believe in myself.’
