What our clients say about working with us……..
“Before working with Catherine I felt confused and like I lacked balance. I was drifting along a path which I feared would not have a good ending and I got lost in understanding what I needed. The 12 sessions I had really allowed me to find me again and understand what I want and need. For the first time in years I feel excited about the next chapter.”
“I started therapy after the loss of my husband. He was my world and I had never experienced grief before. I had also recently been made redundant and I was not managing the changes well. The time in therapy has allowed me to accept where life is now.”
“I feel calmer, less anxious and less reactive. I did not think I could feel like I do now. coming out of covid and dealing with life as it is now has been a challenge but i know I am much stronger now and talking to someone has really made that easier.”
“who knew therapy would make me laugh, cry and work through so many emotions. I have a long way to go but i can see how far i have come. thank you to Catherine and Metanoia. Being able to access affordable therapy has been a huge benefit for me!”
