Client Ms S
“When I first met with Gillian, I felt unable to cope, let alone enjoy, day-to-day life. I didn't know where to start, or what to conquer first. Gillian helped set a clear direction and provide hope yet our conversations each week also felt fluid and reactive, which I really appreciated. Gillian brought an incredible amount of knowledge & experience as a psychotherapist into our sessions, yet her client-led approach was very personalised and empathic to what I was asking for/needing each week.
Several times across our time working together, I was grateful to 'take stock' and understand how best to proceed into future sessions to make the most of time each week. Gillian provided a safe, calm and productive environment for me to work through a number of different areas spanning anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges and disordered eating. Each time, enabling me to gain new perspective and build tools to reapproach feelings & habits.
I worked with Gillian for just under 18 months. Without that time in therapy, I can't even grasp how I might feel now compared to where I have reached with Gillian's help. Working with Gillian has been life-enhancing in every sense of the word, certainly the best thing I have done to take back control of my life, my freedom of choice and my self. The tools I've learnt, perspective I've gained and habits I've changed from working with Gillian will carry with me long into the future, I'm sure of it.”
