Testimonials From My Clients
I was in such a dark place when I made my first appointment to see Miriam. I suffered from severe depression and anxiety and was taking medication for both. With Miriam’s expert guidance I explored my past, and the damaging learnt behaviours and thought patterns I had developed. This took time, was sometime times difficult, but I looked forward to the session each week. Each session provided a safe space where I could focus on understanding me.
Slowly, I began to feel better in myself and about myself. I am delighted that I now experience contentment in my life every day and am, thankfully, medication free. There are challenges, but I am much better equipped to deal with them. I now look forward to my future.
Male Client
When I consider where I am now compared to 18 months ago, the difference is night and day. My self-confidence has increased ten-fold from what it was. My anxiety, while not gone, has significantly reduced. I have not had a panic attack for months now, which considering it was the initial prompt to come to you, is a very positive development.
In our sessions, you created an environment that was open, approachable, and non-judgmental, which made a huge difference.
Male Client
In November 2020 I made the decision to contact Miriam and make an appointment with her. I never looked back . Over the years weeks, months and years that followed Miriam provided support, wisdom, guidance, a different perspective and a safe place.
I did not feel judged for my actions or decisions. There was no fault or blame just help to find a way forward.
4 years later my life has changed completely. I have come a long way from the anxiety and deep sadness I was feeling and that is in no small part thanks to Miriam . It was a long journey and a difficult one at times but I left each meeting with a sense of well-being and a steadily increasing determination to achieve quality in my life.
Finally I just wish to say thank you so much Miriam, you made such a difference and I wouldn’t be where I am today without your help .
