“I went to Sylvia for help in managing my anxiety that I have struggled on and off with for many years. Sylvia helped me identify my negative behaviour patterns and we worked together to find more positive ways to handle situations through talking, breathing techniques, compassion visualisation to name a few. As with everything we want to be good at, it is all down to practice, and Sylvia worked with me on ideas in how I can build these behaviours into my every day. I now understand how important little changes can make when you suffer with anxiety.”

"Ahead of my first session With Laura I was sceptical she would be able to help me. I have always been a worrier, and assumed my anxiety was merely a part of me. I couldn't have been more wrong! Laura has helped me become a happier and more confident version of myself, and helped me to complete and succeed in my masters course. Above all, Laura has helped me realise that anxiety is not a life sentence. I cannot recommend her enough, as her friendly and professional manner make you feel completely at ease, in what could be quite an uncomfortable situation for some".

“I cannot thank Sally enough for her time and work with me. Our sessions have provided an invaluable tool in the process of rediscovering my work skills, strengths and motivations and directing it into a career path that is more suited to who I am as a clinician and individual. Her relaxed, friendly and inquisitive nature immediately puts you at ease. The process has helped me to discover who I really am at work. My only regret is not having considered such a programme earlier on in my career!”

“I recently needed advice and assistance regarding an escalation of certain physical conditions. Wendy was extremely helpful both in a practical and emotional capacity- I was provided with sound and excellent advice during this difficult time - it definitely gave me the confidence needed going forwards. I have no hesitation in giving her the best recommendation.”

“So kind, compassionate and easy to talk to. I had a very traumatic birth experience which resulted in PTSD, PND and anxiety. I've been working with Sylvia on this for the past 18 months and I've completely changed. I'm happier, I feel more confident and I can now recognise my "triggers" and use techniques learnt to combat them. Cannot recommend highly enough thank you for giving me, me!!!”

“Sally has been fantastic, she has provided coaching for me at quite a transitional stage of my career guiding me through exercises which have given me clarity on my values, motivations and shifted my mindset. Her methods have allowed me a lot of insights that I would not have managed to appreciate left to my own devices and there have certainly been some "a-ha" moments! Thanks very much Sally, I'm sure I'll be back!”

“I cant thank Laura enough for her help in changing my life. Her knowledge, advice, guidance and empathy in helping me heal from some very tough problems has been priceless.”

“Having struggled most of my life with undiagnosed BPD to finally have been diagnoses aged 50 and then to be offered DBT with Wendy was scary at first as I could not see anything would make a difference, but I was determined to give 100% as I felt it was my last chance at living a life I truly wanted.

However, throughout my therapy Wendy has given me the skills and tools to make my day-to-day living bearable. I explained to Wendy in the beginning of therapy I had always thought of myself as piece of jigsaw and the world was the puzzle, my piece of the jigsaw did not fit in. Now I can honestly say I am part of that puzzle, I work hard to use everything taught to me and I now feel deserved of love, I feel connected instead of sat on the sidelines waiting to join in. I am just so grateful that Wendy was part of my journey, and I am so glad she was my therapist.”

“I have been working with Sylvia for several months. She introduced me to compassion focused therapy which I have found very helpful. I have been to multiple therapists and have found my therapy sessions with Sylvia the most effective.”

“I had tried many therapies over the years and could not rid myself of the clutter and debris in the recesses of my mind that were causing me so much angst in my daily life. Doing EMDR totally changed that and I now have more clarity and the ability to negotiate situations which would have felt impossible before. Thank you so much for your help. Life is a pleasure now instead of a chore.”

“When I first saw Laura I had been diagnosed with severe depression, suffering with fatigue and exhaustion. Laura taught me many techniques to help stop the constant internal criticism that had become so routine. Laura also helped me extract some internal beliefs that I had been living by, only to discover that they were not always true or achievable, which had led to a constant feeling of not being good enough. I now feel energised and well again, I find that my confidence has increased as well as my self esteem. I can't recommend Laura enough for her support and therapy. “

“As a man in my 50’s my long-term depression and anxiety cycles were worsening and putting a huge strain on my family and myself. Sylvia has helped me to really turn things around, I have come to terms with the past and I know that I have the tools to deal with any future challenges. It has been truly life changing, it’s never too late!”

“To say DBT has improved my life is an understatement, it has saved my life. Over the time I was attending with Wendy, I have had huge life changing things happen and if it wasn’t for the professional and wonderful way in which Wendy taught and coached me, I don’t think I would have surfed the waves as skillfully as I managed.”

“Working with Sylvia has turned my life around. I had tried many therapies over the years and could not rid myself of the clutter and debris in the recesses of my mind that were causing me so much angst in my daily life. Doing EMDR totally changed that and I now have more clarity and the ability to negotiate situations which would have felt impossible before. Thank you so much for your help. Life is a pleasure now instead of a chore.”

“Following a referral to psychotherapy by my psychiatrist, I was so lucky to find Laura who has worked so patiently and compassionately with me. Through a combination of the DBT group and one-to-one sessions I’ve found the therapies hugely transformative to my health and wellbeing. The EMDR has been a particular success and made a huge difference to my processing of previous traumas. Thank you, I cannot express how grateful I am.”
