Testimonials

I went to see Dianne because I was stuck in a recurring cycle of negative thoughts and feelings.

Chatting with Dianne seemed to create a space in which I could think about those negative thoughts and feelings in a different way.  This enabled me to move on.

Dianne was easy to talk to, very understanding and supportive.

For the first time this year I feel the most mentally stable and happiest that I’ve felt. I’m using all the amazing tools you taught me, and they seem to work, and also speaking to you massively helped me. Things may not be fixed but for once I feel very accepting of this and try not to be too hard on myself - miracle! Thank you once again - for everything

I first accessed support with Dianne last year and after 4 sessions seemed to get my focus back and felt better for the support. I have dropped back in since as I felt I needed to sort my head out again and after 2 more sessions felt I'd managed that. Dianne 'gets me' and seems to know where I'm at and what I need. Cheers - I'll be back!

I went into therapy with Dianne already knowing what all my concerns were as I had them for many years, but hadn’t ever been able to resolve them. 5 sessions later and I was effectively trouble free. Talking to Dianne was an absolute pleasure and she helped me immensely in organising my mind and enabling me to become a better version of myself

I’m sorry it’s taken me so long :) 

Dianne is the loveliest lady! She was brilliant and this service has helped me massively over several months. I can't thank her enough for the support she provided me with helping me through several difficulties I was experiencing within myself. Excellent service ! 

 When I arrived I was at a very low point. Talking to a stranger wasn't easy but from the off Dianne made me feel at ease and helped me make sense of things .Over time I learnt from Dianne to think things through which helped a lot. I'm not saying I'm cured but hopefully I will  be able to deal with my problems at lot better .Thank you  

I went into this knowing what issues were causing me difficulty (for the most part), but not necessarily how to overcome the problems they presented. Through the sessions I was expertly guided on how to take an alternate look at these problems and ultimately learn to live with them, while realising they don't have any significant influence on my life and that what I do with my life from here is up to me. For that I could not be more grateful.

 I contacted Dianne when a couple of people had suggested that I may benefit from counselling. Dianne was recommended by an acquaintance. Her office was almost an hour away from where I live. I self referred by text message after looking at her website. We arranged an initial phone call of 30 minutes and then arranged the first session. Dianne had good assessment skills. She was professional and approachable. I felt comfortable with her. She explained the counselling process and boundaries around confidentiality. She let me know that I have choices, options and can make changes. I was feeling as though I was living my life on a treadmill rushing about and no longer enjoying myself. I needed help to break the cycle. Dianne was very effective at supporting me with this. I had 3 weekly telephone sessions of 1 hour each. I shouldn't have left it for as long as I did before seeking professional support. Thank you Dianne I now feel like I have my life back on track. I'm looking forward with optimism.
