Testimonies

'Thanks so much for all your help over the last number of months. I've learnt a lot and you've made me challenge a lot of my thinking. Gambling's been a big part of my life for almost 25 years, it's the most expensive hobby anyone can have, and costs more than just money. Over the 20 odd years I've tried to stop over 100 times AT LEAST and my average break has been about a week (if that!). To have gone 9 months now, I really feel it's not a question of how long this time, I truly believe I'll not go back to it. Without all the tools you've given me, advice and different ways to look at things, I wouldn't have gotten this far, so thank you.'

'Isabel is a great psychologist; a cheerleader for her patients.'

'Very professional and caring, person – centred approach, compassionate, good listening skills and understand the message behind the words, and helped me to make sense of my thoughts.'

'Isabel has been a fantastic psychologist and aided greatly with my OCD and treatment. Her interpersonal skills and understanding has helped me to understand myself and reassured my abilities to continue with treatment outside of clinic. To me, I was a bit of a mess and felt trapped in this spiral but now I think I can make it through.'

'I still think about what she said to me now the therapy has ended and I’m still working on our goals.'

'Trust was established quickly and reassured my confidence in my therapist to help. This was really important – otherwise the sessions wouldn’t of been as valuable. Highly recommend this service and catered to the needs I have. I didn’t realise what struggles need addressing.'

'The techniques taught were adapted which allowed me to bring my worries down.'

'Very easy to speak to, calm and understanding. Good communication skills.'

'Isabel was great to talk to, I found the sessions really helpful and they have changed my mindset. Isabel made me think about myself and why I don’t put myself first and take time for me. Learning to say no a bit more.'

'She always supported me which made me feel like I could get my words out, even though that’s something I’m not very good at. Her calm demeanour always made me feel like I could open up and trust her with my thoughts.'

'I felt comfortable and I would recommend to someone else.'

'Treated with kindness and understanding, something that I did not feel before.'

'I was pleasantly surprised on how much my therapist helped me out with my line of thinking.'
