"Rae is clearly a very experienced therapist.  She made me feel so safe, I was never judged, and I have nothing but praise for Rae.  I never thought I would get to where I am now, I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her.  I am proud of myself, but Rae should also be proud of all the hard work she has also done to help me.  I can’t thank her enough and she will always be someone I remember as a positive influence in turning my life around." -Client feedback 2020

​"Therapy helped so much in finding confidence and becoming aware of my agency in my own life."I felt embarrassed at first. Such a trivial teenage thing I came to you about. But given everything i've been through after a pretty awful adult life I was at least able to come straight out and say what I needed help with. From the outset you were brilliant, listening to me via email and assuring me that it was not trivial. If it was causing me problems it is worth addressing. During our sessions we went on quite a journey of discovery beyond what I was expecting - eg back to childhood. But you explained links and we discussed and agreed to give stuff a try. A mix of classic EMDR and some other experimental techniques opened up a whole new level of understanding about why I went with certain behaviours, about who I was, who I am now and what I am looking for. I especially loved the experimental approach. It worked for me. I really appreciated the huge thought and reading you did behind the scenes. I guess few will appreciate how much work that is." -Client feedback 2020

"I felt valued and understood by you. I liked the way you fed back to me, checking that you’d understood what I was saying. I found the feed back session we had at the end really helpful, putting things in perspective. The room was beautiful, with a lovely, safe, calm atmosphere and your attention to detail, seating, cushions etc, all made the visit a pleasant thing to do."-Client feedback 2021

​​​"I feel far more resilient. I wasn’t sure what to expect from CBT, but I was impressed how quickly I was able to learn new techniques to manage my emotions. The pacing of the sessions was great and I always left each session feeling better equipped than when I arrived. Ultimately it was having someone to talk to about my feelings that I trusted was neutral, compassionate and there to help me reach self-realisations. The therapy was meaningful to me because I felt like I was guided to make changes of my own accord, rather than having them assigned to me. In all of our sessions, you allowed me to feel vulnerable and ramble when needed. I never felt judged by you - and you have a wonderful way of confirming your understanding of what I said, by drawing upon your own experiences or playing it back to me."- Client feedback 2023

"Your insight and experience. The relationship we had as Therapist and Patient, you were always very caring, and very easy to get along with. I could be completely honest with you about my experiences without feeling any embarrassment at all. Even when I spent at least half of my sessions crying, you allowed that to stop naturally and I never once felt self-conscious. I felt that I bonded with you, our shared sense of humour and laughter. I trusted and respected you implicitly. You allowed me to talk without interruption and made me feel that the distress I felt was valid and I wasn’t ‘being stupid’ At the end of an EMDR session you always asked me that I needed" Client feedback 2024

"Rae, Thank you very much for the help that you have given me over the time we worked together. I do not think that I would have been able to arrive at a point of relative peace of mind without your help. The impact on mine and my family life has been immeasurable! I am truly grateful for the expert help you have provided" -Client feedback 2025

 

"Your mixed methods approach was exactly what I needed. Every time I had something to discuss or an issue I didn’t know how to resolve using what you already taught me in previous sessions, it seemed as if you understood my issue right away and had the exact bit of theory and practice that I needed in order to process my emotions and develop better habits and patterns. When we got stuck using EMDR, you were able to pivot so easily to giving me CBT and communication tools. It really felt like you were on my side and 100% doing your best to help me in whatever ways possible. .Therapy helped so much in finding confidence and becoming aware of my agency in my own life."

"The IFS framework seems to -suited me well. From the first session I felt comfortable, listened to, and actually felt that processing my past was a possibility and I could feel free from that weight. Thank you for your time, your expertise and more specifically your understanding and kindness. Therapy has been something that I have wanted to access but have never felt ready until now. This has reframed my approach to this and my understanding that living beyond my past is more than possible. Thank you!" -Client feedback 2026​​​
