Testimonials

Some testimonials for the counselling services we offer

As a company we engaged Gary 5 months ago to assist our Colleagues during the COVID lockdown. Gary has had fantastic feedback from those he has helped. Gaz’s style is so versatile and his skill set very diverse, allowing him to effectively help others with a range of issues and challenges. Gaz is a pleasure to work with. He is timely, reliable and has a great ethos and aura. Nothing is too much for Gaz. I would highly recommend Gaz.

I was in counselling with Gary for about one year, and the change that, not only I see in myself, but that everyone around me can see, is astounding. A year ago, I believed that I was weak and feeling emotions was a form of weakness. I was angry all of the time and I pushed people away that cared about me because I felt I didn’t deserve them or couldn’t trust them, all because of one event that changed my life, or so I thought. Gary taught me that the abuse does not have to define me, and it certainly doesn’t make me weak. He supported me through very difficult times and helped me develop into the person I always was, before the abuse. I can now quite honestly say that I haven’t let my past define my future. I am happier, calmer and stronger which I owe to Gary’s patience, kindness and dedication. I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for me.

There’s something quite raw and fascinating about Gary’s personality. He holds the beautiful rare gift to inspire. Gary’s trustworthy nature and commitment to serve, makes our dealings an absolute pleasure for me. Nothing fazes this man and I can only put this down to his own life experience.

No two sessions have been the same, which keeps it fresh and his consistent professionalism makes him highly reliable.

Gary’s ability to connect and feel what is not working and not waste time on that, was exactly what I was looking for. My advice to anyone reading this would be: if you are willing and ready to take control, then Gary is definitely the man to help and guide you to being the better you that you deserve to be.

Gary also introduced me to EFT (emotional freedom technique), I have to admit I was more than a little sceptical that ‘tapping’ would do anything for me, especially being hundreds of miles away and doing it on skype. How wrong was I! I’m so glad I trusted Gary and gave EFT a go. The results:  Two months later I still feel absolutely incredible and I can see a complete 180 shift in my reactions to things that stressed me out before.

Gary, I personally thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for me and others…especially all the ‘unspoken good deeds’ you do, that no-one hears about.

Attentive and skilled, I recommend Gary wholeheartedly to anyone who needs help to find peace in their world.

Amie Buckfield, London

I have had anxiety for as long as I  remember. Looking back, it plagued my childhood and has sapped my energy on and off for many years. I am always looking for many ways to manage it, particularly ones that are simple and can be used anytime and anywhere. Gaz, who I know through something completely different, mentioned that Emotional Freedom Technique might help. We had a 90 minute session during which he taught me the basics and I have been using it ever since to bring calm when I feel anxiety welling up. Gaz was attentive and skilled during this session: he has a relaxing way about him that allows you to focus on yourself in a completely safe environment. I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who needs help to find peace in their world.”

We specialise in caring for some of the most socially excluded young people in the country. They have multiple diagnoses and present with very challenging behaviour. Gary has been providing individual support and counselling to these young people and is having a very positive impact on their lives. The level of commitment, knowledge and integrity Gary brings to his role is reassuring when working with such vulnerable young people.
