“I saw Anthony for around 12 weeks but due to work commitments I unfortunately had to stop. The 12 weeks changed my life in so many positive ways. Before I began I was apprehensive as to whether or not the sessions would work, but from day one Anthony was extremely welcoming and put my mind at rest that the environment he has made was safe and secure. By week 12 I literally felt like a different person.”
“I found Anthony to be professional, warm and welcoming. He helped me feel safe and able to connect with deeper feelings within me. Would not hesitate to recommend him to others.”
“The therapy I received allowed me to view myself in a different light. I began to realise that when something went wrong, it wasn’t always my fault. But more than that, I started to figure out why I’d always blamed myself...”
“I feel I have made great progress in six sessions... Anthony was not afraid to challenge me at times and this was very effective... helping me to get to know and understand myself better in a safe environment.”
“I found my sessions with Anthony extremely helpful. I had previously tried to engage in therapy, however often leaving, fearing I was not being heard or tuned into in the ways I needed.”
“Dear Anthony, I feel I could write an essay on how my life has been transformed since meeting you. Although at times an emotionally painful experience, this enlightenment led to a deeper intimacy in many of my relationships. Therapy has given me an inner strength and courage to fully engage in all life can offer me... most importantly I have found my voice. A million thanks.”
“I was able to be myself with Anthony, as I felt safe and able to explore my difficult feelings and develop strategies to improve my wellbeing.”
“Anthony makes you feel completely at ease and is very easy to talk to. I would have no hesitation in recommending Anthony.”
“I can genuinely say that my sessions with Anthony have changed my life. Having only been offered cognitive behavioural therapy before, I wasn’t sure how much talking therapy would be of help to me. My misgivings were completely unfounded, however, and I can confidently say that my treatment has helped me look at the world in a different way.”
“At a time of deep confusion, therapy with Anthony helped to identify the unprocessed and buried emotions that manifested into a number of self-limiting beliefs. Anthony created a safe and comfortable environment where I was able to express these and move forward. ”
“He was able to challenge some of my core beliefs and perceptions in a way that only ever made me feel respected, safe and lighter. As a result of this I have found balance, my voice & my self esteem. ”
“Through therapy with Anthony I was able to reinterpret and overcome the foundational experiences that so frequently impacted and hampered my daily life, gaining confidence in my own ability and thoughts, and finding a release from negative habitual behaviour and self doubt.”
“Therapy with Anthony has been the most positive life changing experience I’ve ever had. It is difficult to put it all into words. The transformation in myself has been really groundbreaking personally. Through our work together my attitude towards my self, the way I relate to myself and the way I treat myself, has been radically changed. My relationships with others have transformed and I’m able to approach situations authentically and relate to others in an honest and open way even during conflicts.”
“I felt like it was a safe place to explore emotions and get to the bottom of what really influenced me in many of my decisions. I am leaving now more confident and in touch with what I want. I could not be more grateful for his support.”
“I feel 100% more at ease and confident making decisions and facing up to problems in my life where I used to bury my head in the sand. Can not recommend Anthony enough and would urge anybody who is feeling like they have nobody to talk to that it will get better when people like this help you.”
“Thank you so very much”
“In the time I have spent with you, you have been professional, trustworthy, non-judgemental and understanding, making it easy for me to disclose sensitive information. I would recommend you to anyone seeking counselling/therapy.”
“Having been out of therapy for a few months, I can say that life isn’t perfect; it’s never going to be. But I’ve noticed that many situations, some little, some big, have become easier. Others haven’t but I find myself more capable of finding my own path out of them.”
“I have not ruled out further sessions but I think that for now I have arrived at a place where I can continue examining how I approach relationships with other people... and how to achieve more fulfilment in my life”
“Deciding to start therapy can be a genuinely daunting prospect... but, if you afford it time and trust the process then therapy will pay off. At times I questioned whether it was worth the pain but when I spent time assessing the outcomes I realised it most certainly was! Thank you.”
“I am making better decisions, have so much more confidence, and a much clearer understanding of how I deserve to be treated. I have learned what boundaries look like and that my having them doesn’t destroy good relationships. Your support has been invaluable in changing my life for the better.”
“Anthony is a caring and insightful man who will listen intently and work with you to find the solutions to happiness and healing. You will have to do the work, but Anthony is there as an excellent guide and support to help you find the way.”
“His friendly and thoughtful approach set me well at ease and provided a safe environment for me to explore feelings that I had not really been able to before, ever. I would wholeheartedly recommend Anthony to anyone that feels they need this kind of help - even if they are not sure.”
“I had been suffering from mental health issues for years before I came to see Anthony. I had attended several rounds of counselling (including CBT) over the years with different therapists, but never been able to achieve any significant or sustained improvement in my mental wellbeing. Working with Anthony has allowed me to make so many positive changes, that there isn’t a single area of my life that hasn’t been healed in some way by therapy. ”
“Anthony offers non-judgemental understanding and support, he’s on your side completely. He guides without instruction, creating a collaborative environment where solutions are developed and formed together.”
“Anthony is a fantastic therapist, and a warm, supportive, compassionate and wise human being. I’ve always been really moved by his ability to clearly see the crux of something I’m bringing to work on, untangling my confusion and offering so much in the way of skills, awareness and understanding.”
“At the start of my journey there were many dark unvisited parts of my mind which I wasn’t ready to navigate. Now, at the end of my therapy, there really isn’t much left! I will forever be deeply grateful for having had the opportunity to work with Anthony and will look back with heartfelt thanks and gratitude.”
“Because of Anthony’s support, I have been able to accept the past, nurture the present, and look forward to the future.”
“Over the past three years, Anthony has provided me with a consistent and professional counselling service. Our regular appointments created a safe and relaxing environment for me to discuss my concerns with someone independent and unbiased.”
“I found my counselling to be supportive, reassuring and soothing.”
“Our sessions have had a positive impact on my life and symptoms... I enjoyed and looked forward to our sessions, and found you very pleasant and easy to talk to. Thank you for all your help.”
“Thanks for helping me with all of this.”
“I myself have training and experience in the counselling profession and this is practice at the highest level of competence, empathy and compassion. Thank you for your help.”
“Therapy has been more helpful than I could have imagined. It’s been challenging and, at times, painful, but it has always been a safe space within my week. ”
“The sessions I had with Anthony helped greatly towards processing a traumatic event. Anthony helped me understand what my true goals and objectives were, and through the work we did together... I was able to reach them. I feel things I worked on with Anthony have not only helped me at a time of need, but have also given me resources for the future.”
“My anxiety has reduced drastically and I feel far better equipped to deal with it now. Also my interactions with friends and strangers have improved considerably. Had my financial situation not changed recently I would, most certainly, be still attending sessions and I fully intend to do so again, if and when I am able.”
“My experience with therapy was quick, but highly effective. The techniques and coping strategies learned through the sessions have helped transform my life. Thank you, I would highly recommend him.”
“He is a professional, genuine & compassionate person. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you.”
“Anthony has helped me to improve my relationships, to notice unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour and, most significantly, to be kinder to myself. Thank you.”
“The improvement I’ve felt over the several years of therapy has been life changing, my time with him has truly been a privilege and my appreciation cannot be overstated enough.”
“I felt absolutely supported by his continuous attitude of real, honest acknowledgment of what a given situation is really like, the reality of it, and this helped me beyond measure to get in touch with my own true feelings and take the action I wanted to take.”
“A huge thank you to Anthony for helping me through this big decision. I felt confused before starting counselling and even thought it was a bit silly considering therapy. However, he managed to nudge me into finding the underlying issues whilst always staying patient and judgment-free.”
