Like many, my work had become overpowering and all-consuming and was clearly affecting my home, family and social life. Within that environment showing any signs of weakness or an inability to cope were not taken likely. I reached a point where I was no longer myself and I missed being me. Social stigmas also played a part in not getting help and so my continual response was to say nothing and hide my struggle. I was deteriorating and knew deep inside that I needed and wanted to speak to someone without repercussion. I have always known what I am capable of; indeed, through sessions with Di l found out that I knew how to help myself. I just needed the guidance and the opportunity to be open with full emotion in order to allow myself to understand my situation and move forward. Through help from Di alongside simple self-care tools I have learnt to take time for me and that it is ok to be myself. In fact, I should be my priority. The decision to reach out and eventually speak to Di was not easy, almost terrifying, but I know now that I will forever be grateful that I did and continue to do so.

If you are reading this review to help you decide whether to contact Di for support then my advice is call her now! Talking to Di has been so supportive and empowering that she has helped me begin to find myself again. I have always been a strong, resilient person but earlier this year I realised I just couldn't cope anymore and found myself feeling broken and in despair. I didn't know how to help myself which is ironic as I spent my days empowering others. Then I spoke to Di. Her professional manner, her knowledge and skills alongside her supportive and genuine passion to help others are amazing. Di has helped me identify what had led to my declining mental health and is helping me address these worries safely so l am moving forward. We all need support in our lives at some point, that's the nature of being human. If you are struggling, feelings worried or need any type of support then Di is definitely the person who can give you it. Thank you

Working with Di over the past few years has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. She supported me through some incredibly difficult episodes. Her compassion, insight, and steady guidance helped me make sense of so much. Every session, I came away feeling a little lighter, like a weight had been lifted, and over time, those small shifts added up to something truly powerful. She always felt like more than just a counsellor. She felt like someone in my corner and someone who truly cared and stood beside me as I faced life's challenges. That sense of support has made such a difference. Because of our work together, I feel wiser, more resilient, and more grounded in who I am. My mental and physical health have both improved significantly, and I now approach life with greater clarity, strength, and self-awareness. She created a space where I could be fully honest and where I felt heard, safe, and gently challenged. I'm now in a place where I feel I have the tools and resources within me to tackle whatever life throws my way. But at the same time, I'll truly miss our catch-ups, as they were a lifeline, a comfort, and a catalyst for change. I will always be deeply grateful for the growth and healing I've experienced through our work together.
