Testimonials
	‘When I first met my counsellor she instantly made me feel at ease. Jan, helped me examine my current difficulties and thought processes, enabling a more positive approach in dealing with situations.   She encouraged me to take back some control in my life, which at the time I never thought possible. Although I understand I have quite some way to go in the challenges ahead, Jan has given me many tools to make life bearable and even enjoyable again. I feel I have the confidence back to start to enjoy and embrace my life again and that my children and I will have a good life together.’ Mum of two small children - Cheltenham
'The practice helped me explore and fully understand my situation and look at my life realistically. I would not be where I am today without your help.  Occasionally you need someone to show you how to get to the light at the end of tunnel and realise how great life is, however dark it may seem. Above all else Jan taught me to appreciate the good that others see in me when I could not see it for myself’   Mr M Gloucestershire	Counselling is the answer Call us to day and speak to a counsellor.

"For more years than I care to remember I have suffered with negative thought patterns and  crippling Health Anxiety. Despite visiting several therapists for help I have not succeeded in changing the way that I have thought and felt - until now! You have given me such positive coping strategies and sensible, challenging ways to deal with my problems. I cannot thank you enough for your kind, caring and  professional manner. From my first meeting with you I felt completely understood, valued and respected but at the same time put at ease and made to feel comfortable. I really appreciate  the help and support you have given me during the last few months and would not hesitate to recommend you. "Ms M     Testimonial from an Aspergers sufferer   ‘I am an adult with (recently diagnosed) Asperger's, and secondary mental health problems. Having spent a long time searching for someone in the Cheltenham area with knowledge and training to be able to help with learning how best to deal with Asperger's and its consequences, I can happily and confidently say that Jan is indeed that right person who knows the way to help with specific Asperger's oriented needs. She has helped me a lot, and has a great sense of humour too! David Pearce (alleged musician)'         "After more than fourteen years of bumbling through life trying to make sense of a number of abusive incidences I'd endured, I found the details of Jan. As soon as I met her, I felt confident, comfortable and most importantly understood. After only a few months of working with Jan, the knot of feelings and emotions were untied and released. I feel free now and able to finally move on. I'd recommend Jan to anyone." MRS W     'Her professionalism is outstanding, and her memory and attention to detail are second to none. She truly cares about her clients and this shines through . Thank you, Jan.' I've always been a confident, self-sufficient person but I came to Jan at a point in my life where that confidence had been shattered and I was struggling to rebuild on my own. I approached Jan based on the recommendation of a close friend, and it is one of the best decisions I have made. I took a specific question into my first session with Jan: Should I leave my husband? As a mum of very young children this was a huge decision, and a situation that I had never dreamed of being in. Jan very quickly helped me to identify what I wanted out of a relationship, whether I was able to get that out of my marriage and how I could move forward successfully. As part of the process, Jan ended up helping me in many areas of my life, well beyond my initial question. My career, my relationship with my children, my friendships and my general happiness have all been positively impacted by Jan's advice. I recommend Jan unreservedly to anyone who is struggling to cope, has a major question to answer in their life or simply needs a nudge to get things back on track. Her professionalism is outstanding, and her memory and attention to detail are second to none. She truly cares about her clients and this shines through in the robust, rational, practical advice and challenge that she provides. Thank you, Jan. Senior executive, business owner and mother of three.
