Testimonials
“I am so impressed with the depth of listening and ability to draw out themes and make connections with the stuff I shared. One of the most helpful tools Shelley gave me was the ability to question why I think a certain way – self-awareness that is making a difference.”
HELPFUL TOOLS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
“I’ve broached some uncomfortable ‘no go’ areas and found greater freedom as a result. My relationships have been strengthened by a greater self-awareness and ability to communicate.”
RELATIONSHIPS HAVE BEEN STRENGTHENED
“Shelley gave me a safe, non-judgemental place to be totally honest. I’ve always believed that she cared about me and my story and it was a luxury to be able to talk freely about myself knowing that she was there just for me.”
CARED ABOUT ME AND MY STORY
“One of the reasons I hadn’t sought counselling in the past was that I didn’t feel my issues were ‘big enough’. Shelley completely reassured me, and she was right – they mattered because they were getting in the way of who I am today.”
YOUR ISSUES MATTER
Shelley helped me understand how I process my feelings and the effect that was having on my general wellbeing. Over 6 sessions she guided me through how to tune in to who ‘I’ am, what I feel and why I matter, her approach enabled me to find the answers that I knew were somewhere within me.
Helping find the answers from within
Shelley made me feel very comfortable. The counselling helped me to see who I am, and helped me a lot to change my life for the better.
Helped change my life for the better
Shelley started seeing me at a point in my life where I felt very low and rather helpless. Over the months that she has seen me I feel that I have regained my self-esteem and strength to push forward with my life in new and positive ways. She has been truely fantastic!
Regained my self-esteem
Shelley is an exceedingly warm person. From the very first session she was always empathetic to my story, situation and struggles.
Sessions with Shelley were sometimes creative, sometimes challenging; but were always safe, insightful, supportive and open. They helped me immensely and gave me an opportunity to talk through my life at a challenging time.
Always empathetic to my story
Shelley made me feel very comfortable, like talking to a non-judgemental friend.
Gave me more confidence in my ability to effect things in my life.
