While you as a counsellor, may become more relaxed and at ease in your work, you must continue to feel and respond to your clients' emotion with active compassion. The best and most efficient counselling is 'heartfelt'.

'Kirsty was the right mix of open/honest, gave me space to feel able to speak, while also at times prompting me to consider/look at things in a slightly different way.'

 'Counselling has been very helpful, it has helped me realise things about myself and my ways of thinking that I never would have by myself.'  

'Having the safe space to discuss things I struggle with has allowed me to gain perspective and navigate difficult periods of my life in a more mindful way.'

'Counselling basically saved my relationship.'

'Kirsty is warm, sympathetic, and patient. She is very professional yet still manages to create a friendly, safe environment during sessions.' 

'Kirsty is quite good at letting silences draw out, which sort of pushes me to talk about things that are on my mind that I’m hesitant / nervous to talk about - can be difficult but I find it helpful.'  

'It was my first time seeing a counsellor and I found the process very straight forward.'

'Kirsty has been encouraging and motivating to continue my journey – but I have never felt uncomfortable or pushed to discuss problems I was not ready to talk about at that point.'

'I would recommend Kirsty to other people.'

' I feel that I have grown a lot with Kirsty’s support and managed to tackle certain issues which I had previously felt were impossible to get over.' 

'I am very satisfied with the counselling I received.' 

 'I am very happy with the experience and think I have benefitted massively from it.'
