“Having reached a point in my life where i realized i really needed to seek some form of counselling i spoke with a friend and they recommended i contact Valerie. I guess i was somewhat reluctant at first meeting someone that i didn’t know and yet from the first session she put me at ease and over a period of time i found the sessions extremely helpful by providing me with coping strategies which i have been able to use. I would recommend Valerie as a professional and caring person that i would strongly recommend to anyone that believes they require counselling. “

“I knew that at times I wasn’t myself but it was a colleague who suggested that I needed help. I resisted, thinking I could sort myself. Despite my best efforts things didn’t improve. Luckily I found Valerie. So began a journey which was initially tough, often emotional, totally enlightening and thoroughly worthwhile. Valerie helped me in such a lovely calm, caring and gentle way to understand myself. My confidence returned and I am able to have fun again! Thank you Valerie for ‘switching on a light’ in my life.”

Over the years Valerie has helped me to realise one very simple but profound thing – its OK to be me. Valerie has a very unique gift of being able to untangle the past and help you to realise that your future matters. I absolutely would recommend valerie to everyone who needs this exceptional support.

I had been dealing with conflict and pain for years without anybody to share it with. Valerie listened with kind, non-judgmental sympathy. She listened intently and rephrased my feelings using my own language: I felt she tuned in to me and my needs instantly. Apart from providing the relief of being able to ‘offload’ my pain, Valerie equipped me with tools to change the way I spoke to myself. My inner voice now often sounds like Valerie, reminding me about self care and standing up to my inner critic. Thank you Valerie, you are a warm and generous woman.
