TESTIMONIALS
I have had the privilege of working alongside many, amazing individuals, from all walks of life on their Journeys. This is just a small taste of the feedback I've been given on my time with some of them.
'Learned so much'
Carole has a great approach. She really understands and was able to tailor our sessions to suit my particular requirements. It was a pleasure to work with her and I have learned so much! B.A. Surrey
Carole was a wonderful counsellor. She knew her stuff, was professional and I
appreciate the way she worked with myself and my partner. The imago
technique has been invaluable for our relationship and our progress. Carole's use
of theory and humour enhanced our sessions and allowed us to feel comfortable
and safe. She was honest with us at every point and we never felt that she was
taking sides, or pitting us against each other. I believe this was crucial for the
health of our relationship. Carole always went above and beyond and we’re very
grateful
As myself and my partner embark on our next steps (into marriage), I know that the
work done with carole has laid a foundation for our success going forward.
Thank you. N.M Walthamstow

'Most effective'
Carole, you have a very warm, caring and compassionate spirit. You also provided me with the support and encouragement I needed to be real about what had experienced and how it affected me. I also loved that you gave me homework and resources that I can use to hold myself accountable in the areas I have grown. I can honestly say that having had a number of counselling experiences, this has been by far the best and the most effective.

'Meaningful changes'
One of the most valuable lessons I've learned is to pause and ask myself is, 'Is this my inner child speaking,or my grown-up self?' That simple question has helped me become much more aware of my emotions and respond more thoughtfully instead of reacting from old wounds.Through our sessions, I've also gained a much deeper understanding of how my childhood experiences,traumas, and shame have shaped the way my brain responds in relationships. Having that knowledge has been incredibly freeing—it has helped me approach myself with compassion instead of criticism. Most importantly, I've been given the space to be myself without feeling guilty or ashamed. I've learned that my feelings matter, that I don't have to hide parts of who I am, and that healthy relationships are built on honesty, understanding, and mutual respect. I'm so grateful for the guidance, empathy, and practical tools we've been given by you. The changes in our relationship have been meaningful, and I know the skills we've learned will continue to benefit us for years to come through hard times and good. I am also trying to employ this new way of feeling and communicating with my boys, to encourage them to understand their feelings and communicate openly.
Thank you again Carole.

'Gained perspective' and 'made a significant shift'
It was clear from the start of attending therapy with Carole, that she was highly experienced, patient, and professional. Carole also supported my daughter and I to tap into our Christian faith, both inside the counselling sessions and in times apart. Her counselling approach helped my daughter and I to gain perspective and focus on how we could move forward. Although the process was not easy, I have noticed a significant shift in my relationship with my daughter. I am very grateful.Thank you so much Carole, for the great work you have done!

"Carole has been instrumental in my mental health recovery and after our sessions together, I am in a completely different place. I found her to be warm and compassionate as well as knowledgeable and resourceful. I appreciated how she would challenge my unhelpful thoughts in a very loving way. If you are looking for a Christian counsellor I would highly recommend Carole who is a gifted soul has been blessed to do this type of work."

'I'm in a completely different place'
'Not like previous Counselling'
"I have had counselling a couple of times before my counselling with Carole but hers was by far the most helpful that I have had. I was able to freely discuss all aspects of my life including my walk with God. Through her range of approaches and practical spiritual development I found myself applying what we had discussed without having to discuss it further with Carole. It had become part of my thought processes and the renewing of my mind. I think she also built a good rapport with me which made it easy to talk about challenging things and that she would know where I was coming from as a Christian."

'Life changing
tools... from hopeless despair to hope and peace'
"Carole was just the right counsellor for me. She related immediately and compassionately to my needs and used a number of approaches which helped me move in a very few sessions from hopeless despair to hope and peace. She gave me the space to identify deep hurts and to identify the roots of deep issues. I was able to recognise and acknowledge deep pain and trauma. She asked perceptive questions which she’d light and gave me permission to take responsibility. She also introduced me to the concept of self care and Human Givens. Working on these gives me life changing tools for the future. Most helpful was the prayerfully led guided imagery and also the use of the rewind technique. These sessions were instantly transformational in letting go of the past and finding profound peace. I can’t recommend Carole highly enough."
