   I have recently completed almost 12 moths of counselling with Pam and can honestly say the experience has been invaluable. I had been attempting to cope with anxiety, overthinking and negative thoughts without help. From the very first session, Pam put me at ease and began to introduce strategies and tools to enable me to understand why this was happening and for me to be able to manage these issues going forward. I highly recommend her. Thank you Pam for all your help and support.

   So to be able to say, “I can close this chapter of my life and begin a new one” is an understatement. The difficulties and hard work that I went through paid off, a two year journey that Pam and I worked through together, has finally came to a happy end. I have become a much stronger and more confident person. I am also able to see things much clearly and make my own judgements and decisions in my life. The freedom I feel and the courage I have for new beginnings is something I enjoy. I’m excited for my new future journey without looking back. I’m grateful to have come through it with Pam as I knew it wasn’t something I could conquer on my own. For those who ask me does therapy work? 100%!!!! We look after ourselves physically and often to forget to look after ourselves mentally. Self care is a necessary tool we take for granted and it is worth investing in. Thanks Pam for sharing your wisdom, knowledge and kindness. Love Julia ❤️

   I have been working with Pam since October 2020. When we started our journey together I had no idea what help I needed. I was beginning to have memories come back up from my past that I didn't know how to deal with, and I was living life in the backseat of my trauma. Pam was an absolute lifeline throughout the pandemic and beyond, and thanks to the work we've done together I am able to live a full life even with my past trauma. Not only is she a fantastic therapist with years of experience, she is also a wonderful person. I have recently moved to Berlin, Germany, but due to our sessions being online I am thankfully able to continue my work with Pam. If you are worried about starting your healing journey, don't be! There is no better person to guide and support you through all the ups and downs of healing. I highly recommend Pam's services.

   I have been seeing Pam following a bereavement which had increased some issues I already had with anxiety and overthinking. Pam has been excellent in helping me through a difficult period, during our session she has listened and helped me understand my emotions and given me techniques to help with anxiety and overthinking that have changed my day to day life for the better.

   I have been seeing Pam on and off since before the Coronavirus pandemic and can honestly say that I was in such a dark place feeling like there was no way out. From the off Pam helped me understand my emotions, guided me through some tough times and built a very comfortable rapport. Really working on anxiety that I never knew stemmed from my childhood. I am pretty much back to my old self and achieving my end goals after a lot of hard work with her. The difference I feel in myself is incredible. Thank you Pam! From the bottom of my heart.

   The difference in myself after working with Pam is like night and day, she is an amazing counsellor who not only listens to your struggles but explains the science behind what you're feeling in an easy to understand way. I am not only able to cope with my anxiety a lot more now, but have a stronger awareness of the world around me and feel more in tune with my emotions. Couldn't sing her praises any higher. Thank you for everything, Pam!

   I went to Pam with issues of bereavement and other things that were going on in my life that were making me feel overwhelmed. I liked that the fact that Pam challenged my thought processes, which made me think about things differently, and broke things down into manageable pieces. She also showed me how to control over thinking and to think about the future in a more positive way.

   Pam helped me so much after a very stressful time due to family bereavements which left me with terrible anxiety issues. Pam listened to me and helped me understand my feelings and gave me the tools to deal with my anxiety and my grief. After near 8 months of weekly/monthly sessions I feel stronger in moving forward in life. Anyone who feels lost and is not sure of counselling I would highly recommend Pam.
