"Gayle really helped me to understand why I was feeling the way I was and how to deal with my anxiety in new ways. It was pretty life changing to be honest""I had no idea what to expect from counselling, but I'm so glad that I took the plunge. Gayle was so helpful. I had been 'stuck' for years and the future looks so much brighter now. I would highly recommend counselling to anyone.""I'm so proud of how far I have come in my sessions with you, I can't thank you enough for your support"
