“my recommendation of seeking help from Jo..” – “I read this back to myself with water filling my eyes-but with a smile! I will carry this experience with me for the rest of my life and I am thankful that it was with you. After going through a very difficult time I found myself struggling to cope with certain aspects of my life which were causing me a lot of anxiety. Eventually, I sought to seek help through therapy. I will admit that I was a little sceptical at the outset of the potential benefits from counselling, particularly as I did feel a little stung from another counsellor previously that perhaps for me at the time was a little too judgemental and critical. However my experience with Jo is one that I can say honestly has changed not only my perception but my day to day life and has been nothing but the best investment in myself that I have made to date. From the very first assessment session I had with Jo, I felt secure in entrusting her with my worries. The first thing I saw at the start of each session was a friendly, inviting, warm smile which made me feel welcome and relaxed at the start of each session. We would look at problems gently and then gradually unravel a lot of underlying issues. There were times where changes took place slowly and sometimes it felt like huge changes had settled in overnight. Eventually I found myself looking forward to each session because I could see my problems diminishing and the light at the end of the tunnel getting brighter. Jo enabled me to free my mind from a dark place by working professionally and most of all sensitively and for that I am truly grateful and cannot thank her enough! My advice for anyone else who is pondering on how to free yourself from a troubled mind or situation is to seek help. Yes, some sessions will feel painful however the end result will feel amazing and my recommendation of seeking help from Jo for a positive experience cannot come more strongly.”
