I came to counselling after experiencing panic attacks following a traumatic time with my daughter. Pamela, helped me work through this, to the point I was no longer having panic attacks and could actually talk about the experience, whereas I couldn't before.
What helped me most was being heard, having a safe space to offload, to talk, to deal with my trauma at my own pace and be supported through it. I now feel more in control. I am able to revisit the trauma as and when I need to, which still isn't often, but I do share it to try to help other people who have been through similar. Pamela was calm, empathetic, and gave me confidence in overcoming my trauma. She afforded me the time and space to deal with the situation at my own pace, and I will forever be grateful I would say to someone thinking about counselling, It works! When you find the right counsellor, someone just like Pamela, you can and will overcome the reason for attending. Pamela, Thank you for allowing me to talk about my trauma, whilst supporting me. Giving me coping strategies and the confidence to move on and rebuild.

I have always suffered with panic attacks over the years but during 2024, they became severe enough to affect my day to day life. I took the leap to seek some professional help to allow me to work through past trauma and seek potential new perspectives. I found Pamela on the internet and reached out to book in some time. During our sessions, Pamela would listen to me intently, allowing me the space to speak and provided insight when required. This allowed me to unearth buried thoughts and feelings and deal with them in a safe space. What helped me the most is having someone to push me to challenge my way of thinking. She provided me with breathing techniques which helped me keep my anxiety under control. Since finishing my appointments with Pamela, I have not had a panic attack once. The breathing techniques she taught me plus the counselling has improved my life. I feel more confident in my ability to handle situations which would cause anxiety. Pamela's approach provided me the space to speak on my issues whilst giving me the agency to figure them out myself, with her assistance.

I came to counselling as I needed to understand why I kept struggling with relationships and staying in relationships but it opened up to other areas of life and flowed into uncovering other issues. Just having someone external in my life helped me the most to discuss myself and not feel judged. I always felt safe and appreciated someone who was willing to challenge me. I now feel clearer, understand my behaviours and recognise parts of my life that’s in my control but also out of my control. Pamela’s approach was patient, understanding, pushing barriers and allowing to be yourself in the space. I couldn’t recommend her enough. I would say to someone thinking about counselling, Do it, it’s an MOT for your brain and I swear it will be tough but always got to breakthrough. Thank you Pamela, i've never had anything like this before but you made the whole experience different, I felt safe and listened too.

I needed support to juggle the amount of plates I was balancing and felt I was coping reaching out allowed me to reason and process the priorities and free my mind. What helped me most was being listened to, not feeling judged and feeling accepted for me. I now feel more confident and have the tools to process issues and not to worry as much. Pamela is calm and so empathic and understanding. For anyone thinking of wanting to try counselling I would certainly say go for it as it allows you to discuss things I would never discuss with family members. Moving forward I feel more calm and focused, it’s allowed me to plan and work through things one day at a time.

I was very nervous to start therapy as I have never had it before, but Pamela made me feel very relaxed whilst I was in her room. When explaining the situation, I had been through I never felt judge where when talking to other people I felt like they were judging me but Pamela never did this.
I felt I was able to express everything I was thinking and she made me understand why I was thinking like this. Even though I didn’t want to go to therapy I am grateful I met a therapist like Pamela who has helped me get back to my happy positive self. What I felt helped me the most is being able to talk to someone and have them listen but also give advice on ways to cope, as this is what I struggled with the most, coping with everyday tasks which I used to find easy. I now feel really happy and learnt that it’s okay to put boundaries in place and I learnt it’s okay to not always been happy just take things slow and one day you will feel a lot better. Pamela had a very calm, gentle and understanding approach. For someone thinking about therapy I would say I know it’s hard and it does feel like a lot a first but it’s the best thing you can do, I used to think I can handle everything on my own but I find therapy is good to help to rant and also a safe space to go. Also, you might not always want to tell people your story who are in your lives, but I find talking to a stranger is sometimes easier. I would honestly say that pamela has really helped me turn a bad situation into a positive light and allowed me to not let this situation consume me and allows me to not let this stop me from being happy.
It is hard at first and you never feel like you will be happy again but trust me you will it all just takes time and patience and Pamela has helped me understand this.

I came to counselling to let go of the past, build tools for managing stress and anxiety, and grow in emotional maturity. I hoped to learn how to enjoy life more freely, without feeling the need to control every aspect of it. What helped the most was working with Pamela, I have tried a few different therapists that weren’t the right fit. She’s incredibly down-to-earth and easy to connect with, which made it much easier to open up. She listens carefully, remembers everything I share, and genuinely takes it on board, making me feel heard and understood. Pamela gives practical tools and offers very poignant insights that stay with you, helping to put things into perspective. The space she provides is calm, safe, and welcoming, which has made a real difference in how I manage stress and approach life. I feel lighter about the things I was carrying. I’ve been able to forgive, close chapters on certain parts of my past, and feel more in control of my own emotions. I can recognise patterns in my thoughts and behaviours and put preventative strategies in place, which helps me manage challenges more effectively.
Pamela’s approach was compassionate and non-judgmental, helping me feel accepted and understood. She balances empathy with clarity, gently challenging me when I need it while celebrating progress along the way. Her style encourages self-reflection and growth, making the sessions feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. I always left feeling empowered, with a clearer understanding of myself and practical ways to navigate life’s challenges. I would say to someone thinking about counselling that it’s worth giving yourself the chance to be heard and understood. It’s a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment, and you can gain tools and insights to help manage life’s challenges. Even just starting the conversation can make a big difference, and having someone supportive like Pamela guiding you can help you feel lighter, more in control, and able to grow. For me, counselling has been just as much about having the right therapist as it has been about the journey itself. I really believe Pamela can help anyone - she’s kind, understanding, and makes you feel truly heard. She creates a safe, calm space where you can open up, offers practical tools, and shares insights that really stick with you. Working with her has made a big difference, and I feel like anyone would benefit from her support.

I came to counselling because I felt really overwhelmed in my life with stress from work and from health and I needed to do something to change. Very low self-love and worth. Taking an hour out each week to reflect on my current problems but also dig into those in the past. I hadn’t quite realised just how much I had harboured past grief and trauma and how deep this was buried. I now fee lighter and more positive. I can attribute my reactions to triggers in the present to the trauma in my past, which helps me understand myself and manage my feelings more. I am generally more positive and while still have stressful moments I can deal with them a lot better. We used a combination of counselling and hypnotherapy. Pamela was kind, patient and encouraged me to open up on topics that I’ve never opened up on. She helped bring new perspectives and created a safe space for me. For anyone thinking of starting therapy It will help you more than you know. Think of it like an impartial and confidential sounding board that helps you pull those threads in your mind that you’ve been scared to pull or avoiding. I miss our sessions and wouldn’t hesitate to come back!

I came to counselling because I was struggling to navigate some huge life changes that were happening. What helped me most was speaking to Pamela about my thoughts and feelings, to try and make sense of what was going on in my life. With Pamela's help, I have been able to break things down and take a look at things with a clear perspective. I now feel confident to move forward in life, and make decisions that will benefit me. I also now feel able to put myself first. Pamela's approach was calm, caring and she really offered me a safe space to be honest and open without feeling judged. For anyone thinking of starting therapy I would say that you should just go for it! Even though it can feel scary initially, it really is the first step to move forward with whatever it is going on in life.

I was feeling burnt out at work and I was struggling with my emotions. I felt very up and down and like I had no resilience. Pamela used techniques that helped my body to relax when I was in a state of burnout. I felt like dedicating time to saying my thoughts aloud with someone so calm and understanding helped me to make sense of them. It relieved a lot of my worries. I now feel like I have strategies I can use when I’m struggling which helps me feel less up and down. Pamela’s approach was calm, kind, understanding and so helpful. If you are considering counselling, allow yourself to begin. Having the support of Pamela helped me overcome many personal difficulties and I only wish I had started sooner.

I came to counselling because i was struggling with really bad anxiety and it was affecting my life too much. What helped me most was having someone to talk to and discuss my problems without judgement. I also gained effective ways to cope and heal with my anxieties. I now feel much better about myself and have gained effective ways to cope and deal with any anxieties I have. Pamela was calm and caring. If you are looking to start therapy, I would definitely seek Pam's help. Pam was absolutely amazing, caring and extremely helpful. She listened without judgement.

I can’t recommend Pamela enough. From the very first session, I felt genuinely heard, supported, and understood. Her ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space makes it easy for me to open up about things I’ve struggled to talk about and process for years.
What stands out most is her balance of empathy and clear, practical guidance. Every session leaves me with something meaningful to reflect on, and I’ve noticed real changes in how I cope, communicate, and understand myself. Pamela don’t just “listen” she helps me to connect the dots, challenge unhelpful patterns, and actually move forward.
If you’re looking for a counsellor who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your wellbeing, Pamela is someone you can trust. Working with her has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my mental health.

I had experienced a very trying year with both physical and mental health issues. What helped me most was having a safe space and feeling listened to and understood.
I now feel better equipped to cope with the challenges I face. Pamela’s approach was empathetic, understanding and compassionate.
For someone thinking about counselling I’d say give it a try and have an open mind.
Pamela is a wonderfully empathetic and patient person. Her approach is calming, sensitive and reassuring.

I was not in a good place mentally and had really lost sight of who I was and where I was going. What helped me most was the way in which Pamela allowed me to sort out my head space and gave me encouragement to talk out my feelings. She probed a bit more when it was needed and it really gave me massive clarity and enabled me to come alive again. I now feel so happy and raring to go, I feel like I am the best version of myself. Pamela’s approach was to give me space and time and a platform to talk and address what was going on and then to gently coax and encourage when needed. I would say to someone thinking about counselling, to go and speak to Pamela, even if just for an initial call. She is so calm, not patronising, open and responsive. The whole experience really helped me and I wouldn't be in the position I am now without her help. I didn't know that I needed the help, but just being able to download everything and stop and take stock and then prioritise and refresh and rebuild meant that I could be happy again!!

I came to Pamela as I was seeking clarity and understanding on some life events. I was also searching for tools to allow me to manage day to day challenges. What helped me most was to be able to talk through real life events and be heard. I was also able to make sense of my behaviours, any patterns that were reoccurring and find ways to park them in a positive way. I gained strength in understanding it was perfectly natural to set boundaries and my needs first which would allow me to offer more to those around me. I now feel empowered and confident. I see myself more clearly which allows me to meet my daily needs. This has given me more peace. Pamela’s approach was gentle, professional, caring and unique. I would say to someone thinking about counselling, to give it a go, despite feeling apprehensive for all the natural reasons Pamela is wonderful at her role, and you can feel her genuine passion and drive to help others with their challenges. I trust her fully and would recommend her service to all. Her space has a beautiful and calming energy. Thank you for everything you do.

I wanted to express my thoughts and feelings in a safe space without judgment and get an outside perspective to ultimately get clarification and validation in my emotions. What helped me most was, being listened to in a safe environment. Pamela is extremely grounded and relatable; she makes you feel heard and seen and not like you’re in therapy at all but more like you’re just having a chat. I now feel more confident in my own feelings and emotions. Pamela’s approach was soft and relatable. She allowed me to open up in my own time and guided me very gently. I never felt judged but instead felt very comfortable. I would say to someone thinking about counselling to be open minded and go in without expectations. Just allow yourself to feel. I cannot thank Pamela enough for supporting me through a hard time and for allowing me to be completely open with my thoughts and feelings.

I had gone to my GP because I was feeling low. My GP had recommended I do some talking therapy and I felt like I owed it to my family to give it a try. What helped me most was saying things out loud and getting it off my chest. I now feel heard and validated. Pamela’s approach was to listen, and to make me feel like my feelings were completely valid and normal. I would say to someone thinking about counselling, to try it. I appreciate it’s not for everyone, but if you don’t give it a whirl you’ll never know. Thank you Pamela for your kindness, and for listening to me at my lowest. I appreciate your calm approach, and for your understanding of why I was feeling the way I was.

During counselling sessions with Pamela, I felt listened too and understood, I felt safe and not judged, I gained clarity and a new perspective and now feel more confident moving forward. I would recommend Pamela to others.
I came to counselling as I was going through a new chapter and wanted to come out of fight or flight and wanted some support. What helped me most was the safe environment. I now feel lighter, Pamela's approach was listen and be honest.
I would say to someone thinking about counselling, do it!

I turned to counselling at a low point in life after a year full of grief, health problems, anxiety, stress, uncertainty and, at times, what felt like depression. Looking up Pamela was the best thing I could've done. Pamela and I have had some fantastic, open conversations which have significantly helped me turn things around and improve my mindset. Pamela is a great listener, is full of wisdom and has guided me through my various issues with kindness and compassion, often arming me with skills and techniques to help me along the way.
While my sessions are now less frequent and I'm feeling much better, I will definitely continue to see Pamela going forward for check-ins and chats to ensure I remain in this positive place. My mental wellbeing is now better than it has been in years, thanks to Pamela's sessions. Pamela's approach was to put me at ease from the very first minute and to slowly work through all of my issues. It is always a relaxed, warm and comfortable atmosphere in which to have an open conversation.
For someone thinking of starting therapy, please do it. It's a daunting thing to embark on but one of the best decisions you will ever make. It is amazing what an hour-long chat with somebody can do to improve your mental health. I genuinely look forward to the sessions as I can chat to Pamela about things I would rarely discuss with friends or family, getting to the root of my problems.

I was struggling mentally and didn't recognise myself anymore. It had become increasingly difficult for me to cope with the pressures of my life, and I no longer trusted myself.
What helped me most was being able to talk through my problems with complete honesty, knowing that I would not face any judgement. I felt enough to speak the truth and talk about things Ive never said out loud before. Ive spent my whole life putting everybody else first and neglecting myself.
Through working with Pamela, I am now able to see that it's ok to look after myself and prioritise my own needs. I feel much stronger than I did before I started therapy and have already started to implement much needed changes in my life. Pamela's approach was adaptable to my emotional state on the day. My moods were so erratic that a different version of me could show up for each appointment. She was able to guide me through with a calm and gentle approach. I always left the sessions feeling like we had achieved something, whether that was to challenge my thinking, work on my life plan, or calm my emotions, the sessions left me feeling strong and enthused. As a very private person myself, I would never have dreamed of going to counselling and sharing my deepest darkest thoughts and feelings with a stranger. And yet doing exactly that was just what I needed.
If you are undecided about going, I would say, try it. What have you got to lose.

I had been processing past/childhood trauma myself for a few years, with the help of my husband, but I felt like I'd reached a point where I was no longer progressing on my own so looked for a counsellor. What helped me most was speaking to someone with complete honesty about my experiences and the feelings I had had as a result. My husband understood and had lived through all of my struggles with me but I didn't feel like I could be honest with anyone else - including friends and wider family - and always had to filter my words and pretend everything was fine when it really wasn't. Pamela made me feel very at ease and I was able to 'confess' all of my feelings including lots of anger and frustration without fear of judgement. This was incredibly cathartic. I feel like a significant weight has been lifted and I can now move on from the place I felt stuck in. I haven't completely healed, there is still more of my journey to go before I feel completely at peace, but I can now move on by myself, and I know I can go back to Pamela should I need some more counselling in the future. Pamela's approach was relaxed, warm and non-judgmental. She took everything I said seriously but was not at all intimidating. For someone thinking of starting therapy I would recommend trying a few counselling sessions and seeing if it's right for you. I would recommend Pamela as a counsellor. I found her on a Google search, so it was completely accidental, but I'm very glad I did.

I came to counselling because I felt like I was losing myself. I had lost my passion for the things I used to enjoy, felt down every day, and couldn't understand why I was feeling that way. What helped me most was having someone who listened without judgement and helped me understand my thoughts and feelings. Pamela gave me tools to cope, helped me see things from a different perspective and supported me. I now feel much happier and better able to manage my emotions. I understand myself more, and I no longer feel as lost as I did when I first started counselling and I now feel hopeful about the future. Pamela's approach was kind, patient, understanding, and supportive. She made me feel comfortable from the beginning and created a safe space where I could talk openly without feeling judged. I always felt listened to. For anyone thinking of starting therapy It can feel daunting at first, but it's one of the best things I've done.
Talking to someone in a safe, non-judgemental space really helped me understand myself better and gave me the confidence to move forward. I just want to say thank you to Pamela for all of her support, kindness, and patience. When I started counselling, I felt lost and didn't understand why I was feeling the way I did. Through our sessions, I've learned so much about myself and now feel happier, stronger, and more hopeful. I'm really grateful for everything she's done.
