Client Testimonials
I highly recommend Tara and would like to share my experience with CBT treatment for my son’s needle phobia. Before starting therapy, my son would become incredibly anxious and distressed at the mere mention of needles, making medical appointments a nightmare. Thanks to CBT and Tara, he has made remarkable progress in managing his fear. Tara used gentle exposure techniques, teaching coping strategies that helped him gradually confront and overcome his fear. Now, he faces needle procedures with much less anxiety, and our medical visits are no longer filled with dread. CBT truly made a positive difference in my son’s life, and I’m grateful for the expertise and support we received. Money well spent.
Whenever my child has needed some additional support, I always know that we can reach out to Catherine. There have been some complex situations which Catherine has helped navigate carefully and sensitively. All whilst being led by my daughter and her wishes and best interests. As a parent, it has been invaluable to know that she is in such safe hands.
My therapist Tara was amazing and was the key to making my experience so brilliant. She was caring and attentive and made an effective plan for me when I wasn’t sure myself which direction was best to go. She gave me brilliant strategies that I can now implement into my daily life and that overall have really helped me to find my old self again. I felt comfortable with her as she created such a safe environment.
My child feels at ease to speak openly and honestly with Catherine. Catherine has provided her the tools to problem solve, challenge thoughts where necessary and encouraged personal growth. These are vital skills that she can carry throughout her life.
Tara has been alongside me, encouraging me, educating me when I needed knowledge, and inspiring me to carry on. Although we faced blocks and avoidance, Tara never once gave up on me. One of the most valuable things that Tara and our sessions gave me is hope. She enabled me to understand myself in a totally new way and shone a light on a new, compassionate way of thinking about myself which is something I never thought I would genuinely want to do. Now I am able to look at situations in a completely new way and make sense of who I am and my past in a different narrative.
Catherine is professional, compassionate, conscientious, personable and incredibly good at her job. She has taken the time to understand my daughter as an individual and tailors her approach accordingly. Her sessions have created meaningful and sustainable change. I also know that whenever she needs to, my daughter can meet with Catherine again to discuss any new challenges she faces.
I am so grateful for all the guidance and support that has been offered to my daughter (and to myself at times!) over the years. We are lucky to have found Catherine.
