“At its height this condition engulfed me, without question. It was all I thought about, and I felt broken on many occasions. But mostly I was ashamed and embarrassed. At times I truly wished I was one of the visible unwell. But Holly-Jane has been crucial to where I am now. Having someone to help make sense of it, to unpack everything, has been vital and I'm so very grateful of the expertise, the compassion and the care of Holly-Jane throughout this. I thank you, sincerely”

"Holly-Jane has been a crucial part of my recovery without her help I wouldn't be where I am today. We have both worked really hard together and even though I still have hurdles to climb I have come a very long way which I couldn't have done without Holly's help. Holly-Jane has been kind, caring and compassionate whilst also being very supportive an understanding of my problem and needs. I've pushed myself to the limit many times, but I really wouldn't be here alive today if I hadn't, which I have Holly to thank for"

“I came into this in a very poor state of mind during the sessions I have learned many new ways to help and prevent low mood and how to deal with the onset of panic attacks. I've also been able to recognise and redirect my focus on the things that really matter to me and not other people. Thank you so much for the help and direction I have had Holly-Jane”.

“When I started seeing Holly-Jane I personally was in a bad place mentally suffering with OCD and intrusive thoughts and to stop these I was doing rituals and it was overtaking my life but with the help of Holly-Jane we managed to not give meanings to these thoughts and as a result the rituals have subsided and as a result I feel myself getting better each session"

"I have found a place that I feel safe which is something I haven't felt for a very long time and in therapy I feel that I can be comfortable enough to tell Holly-Jane things never thought I could tell anyone. Holly-Jane is one of the most professional and compassionate people I've met in my life"

"I just want to write a note to say thank you for all the help that you have given me. I have no doubt that you have saved countless lives by the work you do myself included. The road that we have been on through these past few months has been nothing short of bumpy but there is light at the end of the tunnel and I can feel myself growing into a confident in content person. During my sessions with you I feel safe which is something I haven't felt for a long time if ever. Before I got help I was convinced I wouldn't see 30 but with your help I can see a future where everything is going to be okay and progress in my career and hopefully have a family of my own one day”
