It couldn't have been better!
My therapist was brilliant at listening and supporting me through the counselling process. She was professional but warm and approachable and it felt very natural talking to her. I would certainly go back to see her again.
Emma is fantastic

Exceptional. A massively healing process. Kate is wonderful and I can’t thank her enough.
I found the sessions with Debbie to be supportive and helpful. She was understanding and helped me to reframe my thought process.
I feel like I learned a huge amount about myself and processed a lot of emotional baggage that I had been carrying for years.
Debbie helped me to learn to be compassionate and curious with my feelings.
Debbie really helped me to deal with a very difficult patch of time and gave me a safe place to process my feelings.
Very helpful. Helped me question myself.
It was very helpful, I felt comfortable getting things off my chest.
Debbie was just incredible and I cannot thank her enough.
Really helped me to understand why I respond to certain situations, my body's response to them and how I can communicate more clearly.
Set out what I achieved to, was made to feel safe and comfortable continuously throughout sessions
Excellent. Emma was very friendly and my daughter felt comfortable during the sessions. Emma was always professional and ensured that the sessions were always focussed on the desired outcome, even though my daughter would often try to do anything possible to deflect from the issues in hand.
My therapist has been great through my whole counselling process.
I feel happier, lighter and more positive generally.
Helped me to overcome anxiety and low moods.
I am able to cope much more easily with triggers and challenging life events around pregnancy and fertility and feel I have regained part of myself!
Emma had a lovely way with my daughter and talked her though the things that cause her anxiety. She gave her lots of coping mechanisms.
My daughter enjoyed all her sessions and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Emma if she showed any more signs of not coping.
I understand myself much better now. I can recognise the history behind my triggers and that makes it easier to deal with them and manage my happiness and mood on a day-to-day basis.
The time speaking to Helen has put me in a much better place.
I feel in a better place mentally after having sessions with HTC.
Helping me control anger linked to anxiety, understanding myself better, helped my relationship with my children, helped me to focus more on self-care.
It is continuing to make a difference to me. I am still processing the ways in which Debbie supported me to begin to face things in my own way and dare to try and make decisions I needed to make, including facing my fears and not allowing them to overwhelm me.
It has undoubtedly moved me forwards and given me strength and hope for the next steps - thank you so much for making this possible.
Managing anxiety, managing bereavement, managing substance abuse. Giving me the tools to be able to start managing these things confidently without a weekly counselling session.
Feelings of worthiness ❤️
HTC has given me a sustained programme that has allowed me to build up my skills and resilience for when adverse situations take place.
Helped me understand it is my reaction to events rather than the events themselves.
Helped me through a very difficult and traumatic time, with strategies to deal with certain situations and different ways of looking at things.
Emma gave me some great suggestions and as a result, my son is now in a school much better suited to him and is actually happy and looking forward to the future at school. He is a different child from the boy Emma first saw a year ago.
I entered into this in one of the worst places of my life . And I left it feeling healed and ready to take on all the troubles I was facing. Kate helped with this process by allowing things to proceed in a way that made it work for me.
My sessions with Debbie have changed the way that I approach my own feelings and reactions. Thanks to Debbie’s encouragement I can advocate for my own needs and am now able to set healthy boundaries.
It has helped me to realise that l deserve more to life. It has helped me realise that l can speak up when l feel unhappy with something. It has taught me not to live a suppressive life but rather be bold and go for what l want.
Made me more confident in speaking about how I’m feeling. I’m feeling a lot happier too.
Spoke about a lot of things worrying and upsetting me which made me feel better.
Gave me ways of dealing with my issues.
From being depressed and having no zest for life I finally feel like me again. Not the old me but the new me and I embrace that.
I now know how to confront certain situations and feel comfortable with myself. And know that I just need to take some space to think situations through logically, considering my emotions, before I make a decision.
Feel less anxious and have more self-confidence and awareness.
My daughter is more confident about sharing her issues with us and managing her day to day struggles. She still has her moments but we do feel that these have reduced significantly.
Thanks to my therapist, I'm now able to deal with my anxiety. She has been a great help in my personal progression in giving me the tools to navigate everyday life.
My therapist had a very calm, grounded presence and I felt that she skilfully built a very strong therapeutic relationship. I felt safe and comfortable with her, and I'm so grateful to her for her help.
My therapists’ insights were so valuable and worked at a pace that suited me.
It has been a very positive experience and I would happily recommend her or come back to her in the future, which she has welcomed me to do if I should ever need to.
Counselling has really helped me through a difficult time after experiencing challenges. I feel the sessions have helped me get back to my old self and I am feeling much more positive about the future and my journey ahead.
I'm so glad I undertook counselling and will be recommending this service to others.
As someone who had never had counselling sessions before I was sceptical, however having the sessions has greatly eased my situation and thoughts. Thank you for being so kind and attentive.
Accessible, supportive, compassionate and a service which responded to me when I needed to be heard and has helped me find the way forward. Thank you!
Would highly recommend Kate.
I have been having counselling for over 2 years with HTC. My sessions were extremely helpful - Debbie worked with me holistically and helped me manage some challenges in my life.
I now have the tools in my toolkit to be able to start managing alone. I often return to methods to manage my anxiety that I learnt through counselling, and I am so grateful to have had these sessions with Debbie. She is a very good counsellor - professional and kind and genuine.
I cannot express how much Emma has helped me and I'll be forever grateful for that.
Thank you for helping me in my journey and leaving an open door in case I ever need it. This fills me with the confidence to need to move forward.
Very grateful to Helen for her support, input and encouragement.
I would thoroughly recommend HTC. Emma is a very professional and personable counsellor and my son really looked forward to their sessions. My son is a much happier person and therefore I am also a much happier person, as a direct result of the sessions with Emma and I cannot thank her enough.
Hire more people like Kate and you will flourish, as she’s a gem that you should hold onto for as long as you can.
I have completed blocks of therapy before but this time with HTC and Debbie has helped me be comfortable and confident with myself.
Dean has been really helpful, it never felt hard to speak to him, always came with a different view to things or rather question my thoughts to bring out my inner feelings.
Debbie you are amazing! Thank you so much!
Really happy to have had my therapist as part of my journey - she's made me realise some of my weaknesses but also my strengths. Thank you for being an amazing therapist and I'll always appreciate you for the potential you unlocked in me.
Very happy with the complete service of HTC.
Thank you for your support.
