Testimonials

"I worked with Estelle over a period of a few months, at a time in my life where I felt like I had lost myself. I didn't trust my judgement, I didn't have any interest in things that I used to enjoy and my relationship was causing me a lot of pain and confusion. It had been a rough few years.
I found Estelle to be warm, caring and extremely good at keeping up with my muddled thoughts and feelings.

Estelle helped me out from a very dark place. I look back now at where I was and can't believe how much I've moved forward with her help.

She enabled me to feel more confident in what I was feeling and helped me feel seen, heard and validated. I knew that it was always a safe place for me to come to. I could be open and honest with no judgement. Estelle has a soft and calming presence but she is strong, and I felt that I was able to borrow a little bit of that strength to help me through a very tough time in my life. I was fearful of the necessary changes I needed to make in my life but with Estelle's help and support I was able to navigate the fear and the difficulties and trust myself again. I now feel happier and more at peace with myself and those closest to me have seen the difference. I was sad when it was time for my sessions with Estelle to come to a close, but so very grateful that I'd found her."

"Needing some help over a tricky time in my life I used Estelle's counselling services.

I found her to be kind, patient and a very good listener.

She gave me the space to explore my thoughts and feelings and interspersed with questions to help me sort through those thoughts.

She also gave pearls of wisdom which I found invaluable.

I think Estelle is made for this kind of work."

"I am so grateful to Estelle for taking me on during what was a very low point in my life following a relationship breakup. Her caring and skilled counselling was the key to my recovery. She encouraged me to set targets and to stick to them. With her support I was able to rebuild my confidence and self esteem and once again approach life in a positive manner."

"I reached out to Estelle because I’d hit rock bottom, and I had absolutely zero confidence in myself. I knew Estelle was going to have her work cut out, because she was going to have to unravel years of deep-rooted, painful thoughts and experiences. Initially, I was sceptical that it was going to work, having had a couple of unsuccessful counsellors previously, but at this point I felt I had nothing to lose.

Counselling is such a personal thing, that you really must find someone who you connect with for it to work. Estelle was warm, caring, supportive, a very good listener, and incredibly intuitive, being able to understand my thought processes, even when I couldn’t half the time! She offers a safe, non-judgemental space for you to be able to chat freely. I worked incredibly hard during the sessions, and in between, because I knew that was the only way things were going to change, but she more than matched my efforts – both during the sessions and through the thought-provoking homework she set me each week. The thing that really struck me the most about Estelle was her subtlety with it all; her delivery during even the toughest of chats made it feel 100% more bearable, you really do feel like you’re just chatting to a friend, yet her professionalism is unwavering. I used to actually enjoy going to her sessions because, although sometimes painful, every week she encouraged me and showed me ways to take back that validation, confidence, and strength…not only did she make me feel human again, she made me feel the best version of myself, and I cannot tell you how freeing that feels.

I cannot thank Estelle enough for her help, and would recommend her to anyone."

“When I felt alone, confused and struggling with my ongoing thoughts I decided to seek professional help and advice.

It was a relief to find an intuitive, non judgmental therapist offering psychological support in a safe environment.

My counselling sessions have been hugely supportive and constructive - it helps to talk things out!

Thank you Estelle for your valued time, understanding and professionalism.”
