Client testimonials
St Martin's Counselling has changed my life. The professionalism, caring and humanity shown by my therapist R, was excellent. I came from a dark space, into the light. Thank you R.
Would highly recommend these people for the help they have given me. Was great the service is outstanding
I've had cbt treatment with st Martin's counselling. My therapist Monroope she was very good at helping me get better with my treatment. She was very polite, professional and very good at listening. She was very patient and gave me different strategies to coope with different situations. I have learned a lot about my self. I feel much better now and my situation is much better now than it was before. I would highly recommend the service.
I cannot fault the experience that I had.Very understanding, considerate and helpful.Thankyou.
Just when I thought there were not many empathetic, sympathetic or compassionate humans left in this world, I started counselling sessions with G who embodies all of the above & more. G is actually genuine in her want to support, not just empty words & a means to hold a vacant title as a 'form of support'. I am beyond grateful to have gotten the chance to even be aware of such genuine help & support. I personally thank you so so much! G deserves a promotion in a heartbeat!!!
It has been a wonderful experience working with my therapist, G. She is a good listener and is very understanding of her clients' needs. She has worked hard to help me decode my issues, one by one. I truly believe I have found the right therapist for me, and I hope others are able to find the right therapist for them as well.
This experience of going to therapy has been a positive one. A life changing experience mainly to do with Rachel my therapist.She provided me with a space where I could express and share my concerns and strangest thoughts. At least they were strange to me. Rachel did an amazing job reassuring me that what I was going through was normal and ok. On top of that she then gave me the perfect tools, worksheets, modules to get on the right path she gave me things I didn't even know I needed.I'd tell anybody to go do therapy after my experience with Rachel, definitely helped change my outlook on life, relationships and myself for the better. Thank you
