Testimonials
"I have learnt so much about my thoughts and feelings which has really helped me to begin to learn to accept myself as I am. Counselling has been such a worthwhile and meaningful experience. Thank you for being there Heidi and helping me to really understand who I am and what I want from my life".P, Farnborough (2008) Counselling
"My life was non stop, my schedule revolved around journeys, travelling all over the world for business and pleasure. To the outside world it looked like I had it all, but something was missing and even though I was always busy there was a deep sad void I could not fill. I was too scared to succeed and too scared to fail I did not know where to turn.
One day I took the biggest step of my life, I sat with Heidi and from that day forward commenced the biggest journey of my life.
It was a difficult step to take, but knowing that someone was there to walk with me, even through the tough times gave me the courage. This in turn gave me the strength to tackle things from my past that hindered my enjoyment of the here and now. Along the way there have been tears, laughter, talking, listening, silence and sharing but most of all there has been safety.
My life has changed beyond belief, there are still good days and bad days, but now I have a tool set to help me when the going gets tough and best of all I know how to appreciate the present. These skills will be with me forever.
It was the hardest step I have ever taken but I can't express how glad I am that I took that first step. If you are reading this, take a deep breath and contact Heidi, take the small step that can make a huge change."

"Our daughter worked with Heidi through play therapy and the results were much better than we could have hoped for. We had huge confidence in Heidi's ability even after our initial meeting. She is so calm and reassuring and helped us to feel totally normal.
Our daughter reacted quite strongly to our recent house move and became extremely challenging and demanding. Her behaviour changed for the better within a small number of play therapy sessions, it was like magic. She relaxed into her sessions with Heidi and I know she really valued that special time, just her and Heidi.
None of us wanted the sessions to end but they had to and we came away a stronger unit and our daughter has responded brilliantly. She was back to normal and we all felt more confident in dealing with tricky situations should they arise in the future".

"Heidi helped our son improve at home and at school. We are very pleased with the progress he has made. He is now happier and more confident which has really helped him to make stronger friendships in and outside of school. He really enjoyed going to see Heidi each week".

"Our daughter was going through a really tough time and was out of control, after we had made one of the biggest changes in our lives, by moving to the UK from South Africa, taking her away from everything she knew family,friends,school,house and country.
After a lot of tears and frustration, feeling that we were bad parents and not knowing where to turn to anymore, we found Heidi.
After our initial meeting with Heidi, she very lovingly took our daughter under her "wing" and started working on all her issues, always keeping us in the know and supporting us as her parents throughout the process.
After only a few short months we started seeing a magical transformation in our daughter.
She is now blossoming by the day and feels very comfortable in her surroundings, and knows now how to deal with any issues that arise with confidence and maturity.
We are now united as a stronger, happier and trusting family unit, and it is all thanks to Heidi for her continual support, love and care she has showed towards us and our daughter.
I would recommend Heidi, for any child or family issues that would need a therapist to steer a situation to calmer waters".

"Heidi I'm in a really good place now and feeling much better than I have done for years.
I really want to thank you for helping me to come to terms with my illness and also helping me to manage my stress. I'm a completely different person to the man that walked into your room last December.
I'm sure there will be times in the future when therapy will be right for me again and after this positive experience I wouldn't hesitate to make further contact.
So many, many thanks again"
