   I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Fiona, who helped me at a tie when I felt as if I was reaching a breaking point with my mental health. I am a mother of 2 young children and I'd been really feeling the pressures that brings, particularly emotionally. I don't think I ever understood how triggering having children would be, particularly when they are aged 3 and 6 and are of course naturally incredibly emotional little beings. Fiona allowed me space to talk through how I was feeling, creating a timeline of my own childhood with focus on how I felt about more challenging times. It enabled me to make sense of my emotions now as a result of those experiences. This in turn led us to work on coping mechanisms now, being mindful and practising mindfulness. Also, it was about accepting that no one is 100% all of the time, and that's ok. Moments and days will feel harder than others, and that's ok. Thank you

   My son has ADHD, executive functioning difficulties and dyspraxia and went through a period of time that he really needed to offload to a professional. Rachel was brilliant from first contact, with her quick helpful replies and knew exactly who to place him with, when I told her all about him, and she was completely right. Helen was just fantastic. In the words of my son “I just say it all, and she gets it” and “I just feel better after talking to her”. As parents, when you are paying for a service for your child, to help them, this is all you need to hear. Also a very important factor to me, was when my son told me he felt it was time to finish seeing Helen. I was really worried and didn’t really want him to finish at that time, but Helen assured me not to worry, this was perfectly normal, and that she believed he had all the skills to regulate his own emotions and that he will "find his own way now", but stated he could always come back to her at anytime. This really put me massively at ease, not only that she believed in my son’s abilities going forward without her, but that Counselling Alliance are not “money based” and just out for every penny they can get from people, they really care, and do what’s RIGHT for each client. Highly highly recommend :) Michelle Parent

   I can’t express how amazing counselling alliance are! My counsellor, Rachel, is honestly the most helpful, supportive and encouraging person I’ve ever met. She’s helped me grow and develop in ways I wouldn’t have known I ever could. Pushing me to challenge my behaviours and thoughts in a safe space. I feel whole again after arriving in the beginning just a shadow of my self. I cannot explain how grateful I am that I ended up going here. Changed my life.

   An incredibly professional and friendly service. I felt I was able to speak freely, in a safe space, without judgment. I was paired with Justine who put me at ease immediately. The guidance and advice I have received during my sessions has been life changing and I can’t recommend the Counselling Alliance enough!

   Like many people being in lockdown magnified emotions and brought with it for me the culmination of a lifetime of challenges and events that had led to me suffering with anxiety and all of the side-effects that come with it. Externally I am seen as a strong personality who is in control (so I'm told), but internally I often feel far from it. For once I decided to make some time for me and was lucky to be paired with Hayley at the Counselling Alliance to try and help me to unravel the "spaghetti" in my head. The sessions were flexible and felt more like a chat with a friend in a safe space. Hayley quickly understood what I needed and helped me to be able to recognise my needs and gave me tools to use when I felt that invisible pressure that it was all getting too much. In my first session Hayley asked me what I wanted to achieve - my response was a simple one " I want to enjoy the good in my life without looking for the bad all the time". I can't praise Hayley and the Counselling Alliance highly enough, and my advice is don't put it off or consider getting therapy as being self-indulgent. You deserve it and those around you will also notice the difference.
