"Client "M"

"I was dreading the inevitable end to our sessions Jan. I realise I've had weeks of your support and I'm truly grateful for that. I have never felt quite so understood before. I've taken onboard not only your insight at our last meeting, but also the ongoing insights for the past few months. I played it casually at 2pm today because life goes on, but rest assured that by five past I couldn't get my work clothes on for crying. Do you know, I get emotional when I complete something, and it hasn't been marred by a nasty incident or anything. I do hope our paths will cross again one day. Thank you so much. I'll have to go; it's five past two again."

"I wanted to write to you to put down on paper how much I appreciate you, it is rare to find someone (especially in a professional counselling setting) who I feel totally understands who I am, all the different sides of me. One hour with you and your guidance is truly like magic to me! Thank you, with endless appreciation."

Client "L" 

​

"I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for everything you have done for me. Your support, guidance and expertise have been life-changing. Every session with you leaves me feeling heard, understood and empowered, and I truly cannot thank you enough for that. Your depth of knowledge and ability to offer compassionate insights have made such a difference to my life. 

​

I'm incredibly thankful for your unwavering dedication and for always meeting me where I am at, helping me grow in ways I never thought possible. I feel so fortunate to have you as my therapist.

​

Thank you, Jan, for being such an amazing support and for all the ways in which you have helped me navigate my journey."

​​Client "S" 

​

Having experienced mental ill health for more than 30 years, I have received support from multiple mental health professionals from many different agencies within the NHS and other organisations. While some of this support has felt helpful, none have measured up to the extent of the support I have received from Jan. 

​

Jan is very down to earth, easy to talk to and listens intently without judgement. Within 2 consultations I felt completely at ease and comfortable enough to discuss things that I have never disclosed to any other person. Jan is genuine, compassionate, empathic and has the ability to rationalise what, why and how you are feeling.

2025 Feedback from group work

​

Our group will deeply miss your wise counselling and facilitation skills, I on a personal level feel like some of the magic dynamic may be lost. You created an invisible bridge between the serious and comedic that allowed us all to show our vulnerable sides and yet still kept us all accountable and morally on course!

​

I will really miss your constant unwavering love to learn and share new ideas with us all. It is something I will cherish and try to remember to keep as a skill.
