A selection of comments and testimonials from our clients: 

• Panic Attacks: “I was having up to six panic attacks a day. I was in such a state that I had to get help. I felt so good even after the first session and just three weeks later I only experienced a few a week. Now 15 weeks later I have none. Nothing. I can’t believe it, I feel so good and positive about myself and life. I have decided to continue to go once a month, as apart from dealing with panic attacks I have discovered how to relax and enjoy my life. Thank you so much”. Manager, 30 year old male.
  

• Sad and Down: “I think the whole nursing staff will be coming to see you. I was telling my colleagues how well my counselling was going. I am happy again – something I have not been for a long, long time. Thanks a mill”. Nurse, 30 year old female.
  

• Low Self-esteem and Confidence: “This is the first time in 11 years I feel good about myself”. Mother of three teenagers, 40 years old.  
  

• Workplace Assault: “I know I attended counselling because of an assault in workplace, but I actually got so much more from the counselling work. I’m delighted that I discussed all the other issues too that were in my life. I feel peace in my head for the first time in ages”. Prison Officer, 31 year old male.  
  

• Fed Up: “Counselling with you was the best thing I did for myself last year. All is well again. Thank you”. Primary school teacher, 27 year old male.
  

• Bereavement: “I never went to counselling before and was very nervous about going. After the death of my child I knew I needed help. The counselling was in a lovely comfortable setting and after ten minutes I felt relaxed. The counsellor was so kind and explained the stages of bereavement that I would go through. We worked through these stages. The loss will always be so great, but the pain has eased and I can live again as I understand what stage of grief I am in. I am so grateful”. Mother, 28 years old.  
  

• Depressed: “I did not want to get up any day. I felt down and sad all the time for months and embarrassed by feeling this way, so I hid it as much as I could. I dragged myself to work. I have a good job, nice house, lovely boyfriend. I just could not understand why I felt so sad and depressed. I phoned you, your rooms were lovely, warm and safe and you were so confident and said I would be fine in a few weeks. You were so good and right. I am so content, I can work and I am a lot more relaxed and racing thoughts have gone. I will attend every now and again whenever I feel the build-up. Please anyone reading this get help if you feel anyway down – don’t allow it to continue, this is why I wrote this. I recommend counselling to many of my clients to help get them through various events in life. I know it will certainly help them. Thank you for helping get my life back on track”. Solicitor, 34 year old female.
  

• Anti-depressants & Sleeping Tablets: “I have been on anti-depressants for years. I felt the medication was not effective and told my doctor this. He recommended that I go counselling. I have, and I am still going every week and would go twice a week if I need to. It is worth every penny and honestly the first time in six years I feel clear confident and happy again. You are a great person you have made me see my life through new eyes”. 52 year old female.
  

• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: “I had a life of hell. I just could not relax between checking locked doors, lights, switches, heaters etc. I had let it take over my life. I left work late every night between one and two hours late between checking switches, door etc. I know it sounds stupid, but it had taken over my whole life. I thank God to this day that my wife phoned you and made the appointment. I had gone to my doctor a year ago and he gave me medication. I tried so much to sort it myself but just could not. I failed and failed. The counselling worked and I have never looked back. I sleep and eat well again. I still feel a little embarrassed that I was obsessed with things. My wife said I am the man I was before it started. I am so at ease and relaxed compared to just three months ago. God bless you and your good work”. Store manager, 62 year old male.  
  

• Palpitations, Trembling and Shaking: “I have been thinking of counselling for nine years now but, never had the guts to do it. I mostly felt embarrassed that I needed help. I was sad lonely and had panic attacks a lot. I had foggy days even sometimes felt detached from parts of my body. I got palpitations, trembling and shaking and even tingling in my hands and toes. I would always look out for the nearest exit / quick escape anywhere I went. I had excuses made for all events. Your counselling changed it all for me – it did take 25 weeks, but was worth every penny and second of it. I was at an end and not willing to go on. I owe my life to counselling. My only regret is that I did not go sooner. Anyone reading this – if you experience any of these symptoms, get help now don’t leave it”. Accountant, 37 year old male.
