Client Testimonials and Reviews

 My husband and I were on the brink of separation when we started seeing Janey. We had reached a point where we didn’t know how to communicate with each other anymore. Janey was always impartial and pragmatic. She helped us understand the impact of the baggage we had each brought into the marriage. Through various practical exercises and much guidance, she helped us reconnect, regain trust and build a healthy relationship again. Thank you Janey – our marriage would not have survived without your help!
 

“As the years went on, the more confused and lost I felt in everyday life, struggling with relationships, confidence issues, and control my anxiety. Janey instantly made me feel comfortable discussing topics and experiences that were the key to understanding myself. I learned many strategies and methods to deal with my anxiety, and gained an insight into myself and some underlying issues stemming from my past. I couldn’t be happier with the sessions Janey led me through and wouldn’t look back. It has changed my opinion on therapy as a whole and I wouldn’t think twice about seeing Janey again if I needed anymore help.”

The huge positive impact of my councelling sessions with Janey cannot truely be expressed in words but i will give it a try! Having counselling sessions with Janey really gave me a lot of insight on myself, as well as a lot more confidence and skills to help me communicate better with the people around me. I have always struggled to set boundaries, but Janey taught me how important it is to be able to set these, as well as help in learning how to do so. I was initially struggling with finding out as an adult that I am ADHD/Autistic, and Janey really helped me to navigate what that meant for me. Janey is calm and supportive, she is also very honest and I felt like she would not just tell me something because I wanted to hear it, she would tell me what I actually needed to hear to get my life together! Although I have now stopped having counselling sessions, the advice and skills I learnt from Janey have made a massive improvement on my life. I am happier, more confident, I have better self esteem and I am able to pay attention to my mind and body and what it needs. My personal relationships have improved, particularly with my parents. I am very grateful for all the help Janey gave me during our counselling sessions, I would recommend her to anyone needing a bit of guidance!

I have used Janey for some therapy sessions during a difficult time in my life where I felt I was a bit “lost”. Whilst I saw Janey for a variety of issues, her understanding and guidance particularly on dealing with some problems relating to my autistic child were invaluable. I always left each session feeling happier, clearer and more confident with my decisions.  She is compassionate, caring and professional and I would have no hesitation in recommending her. I would definitely go back should I feel I needed in the future.

 Janey was highly recommended to us following some personal experiences of friends who had used Janey for therapy.  We offer therapy sessions to employees and other select individuals to a number of Counsellors including Janey.  Janey has provided a number of sessions for a variety of individuals and the feedback has always been extremely encouraging. 

"My partner and I have had a difficult time with our communication and were struggling through a difficult time in our lives. We contacted Janey and started seeing her. She has been a huge help to the both of us, and enabled us to reflect on ourselves, and how our behaviours and actions affects the relationship. Through guidance, different techniques and discussions Janey has helped us strengthen our relationship and we are forever grateful. We feel stronger than ever and more appreciative and compassionate towards each other. We highly recommend Janey to anyone who needs personal or couples counselling”

I find it difficult to put into words how much Janey helped me deal with past trauma.
I was extremely nervous to begin therapy and had not found a counsellor who I felt I could connect with.
Janey understood this and we went at my pace.
Janey is professional, extremely understanding and respectful.
I would recommend Janey, she has enabled me to understand and be myself again.
Thank you

 Janey is a warm, approachable person who makes you feel comfortable during the appointment. She helps to make you think about solutions and to get to the root of problems and feelings in a supportive way. I gained a lot of self acceptance from my sessions with Janey and have managed to feel a lot more in control of certain situations which I felt unable to deal with before. I don't believe my therapy journey is over yet and would like to continue to visit Janey when the need arises in the future.  

My husband and I hit a bit of a rough patch and decided we needed to do something.  We booked to see Janey for  couple counselling.
Both not knowing what to expect,  Janey called us for an initial chat and to get us booked in for a face to face session. Janey has been amazing from start to finish. We ended up having regular sessions for a few months. Janey recognised we both had some individual issues that we needed to address, so we also had some one to one counselling sessions individually with Janey. I can't express how grateful and happy we are. These joint and individual sessions have really helped our marriage. We communicate so much better together now. We 100% recommend Janey for your counselling needs. She made us feel welcome and felt at ease talking to her to resolve our deep rooted issues.

Dear Janey, I would like to thank you again for all your help in my recent upset with my marriage. Your help in finding coping strategies has helped get through some dark days and nights and although it's still very early days since it all happened I am beginning to have small positive moments in my daily routine.

I know I will hurt for a long time and this everyone says is normal ,on those bad days I will curl up ,have a good cry and let it out ,then feel better.
Thank you.

 Right from initial contact Janey was very supportive, listened to me and made me feel comfortable to open up and speak about things. I also done stone therapy with Janey which i found really helpful and insightful- something i recommend trying!
I would more than recommend Janey to anyone. Thank you for everything! 

Myself & my partner decided to try therapy as a last resort before splitting up. 

Janey has taken us from this very low point and helped us navigate through our issues in a healthy way. 

Janey creates a calm environment during the sessions and we immediately felt at ease to open up. 

We have both learnt so much about ourselves and each other and we couldn’t recommend Janey more.

Throughout the years, I have tried countless therapists to help me make sense of the chaos in my mind. Nobody has every really been suitable for me, so I decided to search for somebody who has experience and and understanding of the neurodivergent brain. Janey certainly has not disappointed. She has helped me to piece together parts of me that I never knew were missing. She is patient, attentive and will leave no stone unturned. Maybe not in one session, but one thing that can be reassured, we will always return to something that was said in a previous session, something that, perhaps at the time was glossed over, or a throw away comment. Janey will always find the time to come back to something. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the human mind is comforting for anybody in need of someone to understand them. 

 I started seeing Janey after the death of my father started bringing up all sorts of emotions for me.
Janey made me feel comfortable right from the start.
This was my special time to express all my feelings in a safe space.
I let out all my bottled up feelings and over a short period of time felt much better for it.
Janey was very good at letting me see how I could look at things in a totally different perspective. She also gave me ideas of ways I could deal with situations in much easier and better ways. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Janey to anyone who needed counselling.
 

 "I had a period of time where I felt a little lost in terms of my emotions - I think what I really needed was to have a forum to say what was on my mind and try to make sense of it. Janey was absolutely wonderful - I was completely new to the idea of counselling, and she walked me through it to help me to understand how it works. Her relaxed and calm approach enabled me to open up as I felt I needed to, and I have learned a lot about myself and my various circumstances as a result. I couldn't recommend Janey enough! Thank you!"
