Testimonials

What my clients say ...

"I found Steven at a point in my life when I was willing to try anything to help myself feel better. He appeared friendly and approachable in his profile picture and the fact he was male made me think I’d get a different outlook on things, as it had always been females I had spoken to in the past.
His room is bright, airy and comfortable, with a good view. Steven is a great listener, never judging and always understanding, regardless of the situation being described. I had tried many other services before, like CBT and other talking therapy, and felt this was my last attempt at finding what was “wrong” with me. After speaking to Steven over a number of sessions I felt such a sense of relief and honestly felt the weight of years of trauma finally lift from my shoulders. I now know there was never anything “wrong“ with me - instead I had been let down by the adults in my life as I was growing up. The survival behaviours I had learned as a child were now adversely affecting my adult life.
I now have a feeling of freedom, my thoughts are my own and I’m allowed to think them, regardless of what others may think about that. My life is my own for living as I feel is right, regardless of how others might feel about that.
I can’t thank Steven enough and although I am feeling content just now I know I will contact him straight away if I ever take a step back or face any other life dramas I don’t feel I can deal with alone. The change I feel in myself is amazing, and it’s thanks to our sessions."

"I reached out to Steven after struggling to sleep since childhood. I had tried every treatment, medication and therapy available. My thoughts never seemed to switch off and I was exhausted and extremely low. Quite simply, working with Steven has completely changed my life.
Steven is warm, kind and you know instantly there is no judgement - he genuinely wants to help you. He gently guided me through our sessions and helped me to understand the root cause and what changes I needed to make in my life. He encouraged me to think differently, create new patterns and helped me to regain control of my mind.
I no longer struggle with anxiety around night time and can now sleep without worry for the first time in 25 years! I am no longer overwhelmed, I am happy and healthy. Cannot thank Steven enough!"

"I was lucky to find Steven at a point in life when time for myself was low and stress was high. Steven went above and beyond my expectations and, as someone who has seen numerous therapists in the past, I cannot recommend him more. If you are looking for someone who takes a holistic, evidence-based approach to your care, and genuinely listens and wants to help, you will not go wrong visiting Steven. I have no doubt I will be seeing him again in the future and that to me is a reassuring thought."

"I've been feeling more like my old self of several years ago. Family are telling me how much more relaxed I am, and how much that means to them and our friends. Without doubt, Steven was the catalyst, the unlocker, the life reviewer and the private confidante that made me re-evaluate so much in my life. He has been pivotal in getting me settled into decoupling from work and concentrating on family, health, retirement and friends."

I was very comfortable discussing things with him and found his comments to be very useful and insightful.

"I went in shaking and so anxious I didn't think I'd be able to say a word ... When I first met Steven he made me feel so at ease and calm. After a few sessions I really came out of my shell and felt like I could trust him. I said more to him than anyone close to me ... I have really found his help has worked and made me move in the direction I need to go to get back to my happy self."
