TESTIMONIALS

Lindsay was recommended to me when I hit a real low point in my life.  I was distraught and felt completely helpless and alone. My colleague who recommended Lindsay could not speak highly enough of the professional support that Lindsay had given her in the past and this put me at ease straight away.

I will never forget the first time that I met Lindsay.  I immediately felt comfortable with her.  Lindsay was welcoming, warm, caring and professional.  After spending my first hour with Lindsay I knew that I needed to continue seeing her.  In only a short space of time she had understood me and made me realise that I could get out of the black hole I was in.  She also made me realise that this wasn’t something I should be ashamed of.

I continued to see Lindsay every week for almost a year.  Throughout this period we had a variety of sessions.  On some occasions we would discuss the week that I had and any situations that I had found difficult to cope with.  On others we would concentrate on my childhood or major events that had happened in my life and how this had effected me.  During our sessions Lindsay would explain certain theories to me and this helped me to understand why I felt  the way that I did.  Over time and often without realising, I learnt how to manage my thoughts, how to be kind to myself and how to be mindful.

My sessions with Lindsay were extremely important to me throughout my recovery.  She helped me to stay focused, motivated me to keep going and praised me when I was doing well.  Having someone as professional as Lindsay to talk to about your most personal and private thought and feelings to was what made well.

It has now been 3 months since my last session and I am now a very different person.  The whole experience for me was life changing and I will always be grateful to Lindsay for helping me get to where I am now.
