'Following the unexpected breakdown of my marriage, Denise helped me talk through what had happened, explore my feelings, and suggested some practical skills to get me through the long days and nights. Denise was an amazing listener and with her support, I started to rebuild my self-esteem and embrace life once again. If I ever needed counselling again, I wouldn’t hesitate to seek her support.'Relationship Counselling

'I attended counselling with Denise after struggling to find meaningful support following a sudden bereavement. Denise is personable, professional and compassionate, and she helped me find a way forward when life felt fragile and overwhelming. She offers a safe, nurturing space, and her warmth and humour supported me in gaining clarity, acceptance and confidence in moving forward.'Individual Counselling

'Denise came recommended during a difficult point in my life and provided a calm space for private counselling sessions. She allowed me to speak freely and work through my emotions over a period of time. I never felt rushed to reach a resolution to anything I was experiencing. I started to become aware that I was developing my own coping strategies, which I continue to use.'Individual Counselling

'Denise has been my supervisor for individual work since 2021. She is everything I need: calm, caring, challenging, funny, knowledgeable, and reliable. I feel that she understands and respects how I practise. Denise will go the extra mile and has supported me with some very challenging cases. She has so much experience and wisdom, I feel privileged to call her my supervisor and mentor.'Clinical Supervision

'I feel very fortunate to have had Denise as my clinical supervisor. She brings such warmth, insight, and authenticity into her work, which makes it easy to feel safe while also being encouraged to grow. Her feedback is always thoughtful and constructive, and she has a real gift for helping you see things from new perspectives. She’s had a meaningful impact on both my professional development and confidence as a practitioner.'Clinical Supervision

'For the past eleven years, it has been my good fortune to have been supervised by Denise. She has provided a safe space to explore my strengths and weaknesses as a Counsellor. During supervision, I am able to reflect on my vulnerabilities as a person and a Counsellor. My desire to explore new approaches has always been met with acceptance and encouragement. Denise has made a very significant contribution to my professional development.'Clinical Supervision
