I hope you don't mind me emailing, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your help last year... I'm so grateful to be happy and feel normal again. I tell everyone how amazing you are and how much you helped me so just wanted to say thank you again and let you know that I'm doing really well!! :)

Although I found it difficult to talk about the issues I have been facing, I did find the sessions very helpful. Thanks for the time and space to explore everything, I really appreciate it.

Anon

I wanted to say thank you again for your fantastic sessions. I feel I made progress each week to help me to think more clearly and challenge some of my thoughts. It was very helpful.

I am so glad I had a chance to continue the process of counselling with you. It was a very precious experience and I feel much stronger and more relaxed now, which also has a positive effect on my concentration capacity. Also, I had a long talk with my boyfriend about the counselling experience this week; it was great to share and exchange quite a few ideas. It certainly has been an honour for me. I've enjoyed the sessions very much and feel I have learned so much. Thank you.

I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to listen and help me understand the issues affecting my life and helping me to understand, reflect and move positively forward.

Anon

Many thanks for all your help and support. I wouldn't have been able to get through the final year of my phd without it! I am glad I came back today for the final session. After all the challenges it was good to be able to reflect on the progress we made in the counselling sessions. I can't thank you enough for your patience and understanding.

Anon

I also want to thank you for all you helped me to achieve, I think it was no small feat. I hope that you will take some satisfaction from knowing that you have made a tremendous difference to my quality of life. I am very grateful indeed.

Anon

I've really appreciated your support and your insights over the past few months - I feel like I see things so much clearer now, and without the weight of so much judgement, and as a result I'm a lot more confident in deciding what I want, and admitting that I need help. I was really touched by the fact that you seemed to want me to succeed and get what I wanted - it was great to have you on my side. I'll try to remember to make space for myself, and check that I'm not just taking the path that is easiest for everyone else!

The support and guidance you were able to offer in our time together was some of the most constructive and helpful I have ever had. For fear of offering 'fluffy BS', I don't know how much longer I could have carried on without addressing it and your help was essential in dealing with it. Thank you. I wish you all the best. Keep up your incredible work.

Anon

Thank you also for these sessions I do think they helped me unravel a lot of my thoughts and allowed me to glimpse into its complexities. Thank you for your help during this process.

Anon

Thank you again for helping me during our sessions. It has really made a difference for me. I also really enjoyed your company.

Anon

As I told you in person, I am thankful to you for your deep understanding and professional support. It has been a very interesting experience to have these few but fruitful sessions with you.

Anon

I'd also like to thank you again for your help, it was a valuable experience for me and gave me a new perspective on how I can tackle the issues I have - I feel very positive about this coming year and I'm determined to make the most of it :)

Anon

I think this is absolutely fascinating and think this may be the message you were trying to put across to me. It really made an impact on me.

Anon

Thank you for listening and helping me think more clearly. I certainly won't forget everything you've done for me. it has been incredibly helpful to me. I cannot appreciate it enough. I hope you continue your good work and aid the many others out there.

Anon

You helped me a lot 2 years ago. It was even better this time.

Anon

I used to be YOLO (You Only Live Once) – now it’s like you are my YODA, sitting on my shoulder and helping me think.

Anon

I cannot believe how much of a difference these sessions have made! And it’s all because of you. You were spot on.

Anon

I have been carrying all these for so many years… And now I’m a completely different person! Life is not heavy anymore! I’m doing well and enjoying myself and looking forward to my life in the future.

Anon

Judging from my experience with other counsellors before I did not expect this to do much, but it is clear I value these sessions so much – I wish they would never end.

Anon

I have come to be so much more comfortable with myself. I used to want to be other people – now I think I prefer to be myself.

Anon

When I first came here I thought I was mentally ill. Now I know I’m not a monster.

Anon

The first time we met I thought: ‘this guy gets me’

Anon

I was sceptical about counselling but decided to give it a go. I had not idea it would be this good. I feel I am able to think now – thank you so much. It exceeded all expectations.

Anon

I thought counselling was just an opportunity to get things off my chest. This has turned out to be much more. An experience I shall never forget.
