Testimonial

Counselling Testimonials:

“When I first met Deborah I felt very frustrated and unable to really cope with even small everyday things. I could see other people getting on with their lives and I felt stuck and unable to move forward; just watching people passing me by. Deborah helped me take control of my life and listen to my gut feeling. I now have the confidence to trust my decisions and try new things, knowing I can cope with anything life throws at me. I even went back to University ! I am so glad that I know I can go back to see Deborah if ever I feel stuck again.”

“I first contacted Bluebell Counselling for help with some confidence issues I had been having, along with some difficulties managing relationships. Deborah was welcoming and friendly, and provided a safe and relaxing place to sit and chat. It didn’t take her long to get to know me and help me analyse some of the feeling’s I had been having. Deborah has helped me develop a more positive outlook. It is also comforting to know that if ever I need help again there is somewhere I can turn, as she assured me that the door is always open. Thank you do much.”

“Deborah made me feel very welcome from the moment she opened the door. The room is very private and relaxing, meaning you can talk openly and honestly. Deborah does not judge you and guides you to find answers for yourself. I would recommend Deborah to anyone who feels they need to talk to someone. I feel so much more positive and I am really looking forward to what my future has in store. I know that should I ever need to chat I can pick up the phone and get booked in and there will be a brew waiting for me on arrival.”

“Before I contacted Deborah, I was feeling very anxious in myself and could not cope with the daily routine at work or home, I was feeling very overwhelmed and withdrawn almost ready to give up. I had lost all confidence and was feeling very tense and unable to relax. After only a few sessions with Deborah, I am now back on track with my life and feel like I have become more in tune with my mind and body again, I have got my confidence back and can now deal with the ‘little things’ which not to long ago were so daunting. I was unsure about counselling at first, however I felt comfortable straight away when I met Deborah. She allowed me to explore my thought’s and feelings easily, Deborah is so easy to talk to, a lovely lady. I would recommend Deborah to anyone. I now feel happy with life and looking forward to the future. Thank you so much!

“I contacted Deborah to help me work through some issues relating to my confidence and anxiety in certain situations. I wasn’t sure what to expect and felt quite nervous when I first went along for my appointment. Deborah soon put me at ease and through gentle questions and constructive guidance she helped me to develop more positive perspectives on aspects of my life, and also to deal more assertively with issues that were getting me down. I felt able to open up and trust Deborah very quickly, this really helped me to work through my issues.

“I decided to seek counselling to help with my lack of confidence which affected my personality, my past relationships and my general day to day living, and had done for many years. I am 31 years old and always thought that counselling wasn’t for me as I was dealing with things and everything was fine. It wasn’t until a loved one suggested that I spoke to someone as they were worried about me. So I found Deborah. I was wary at first as I didn’t think I needed to see anyone, but upon arriving at my first session there was a comfortable, private room waiting together with a brew and a ready ear. Deborah is a calm and soothing presence who is happy to listen and help dig a little deeper when required. Together we worked through my issues and I am surprised at how much of a difference it has actually made. I have transformed from a shy, insecure person who had forgotten who I was, what I enjoyed doing and had no imagination to a more confident, happy and content person who is now finding things I enjoy and am happily figuring myself out as a person. I couldn’t recommend Deborah enough, she was such a great help and a lovely person with it – in the end I enjoyed going for a brew and a chat and working through things and I know that if I ever need to work through anything, a brew and a welcoming ear would be ready on my arrival.

“Our sessions gave us a safe space to discuss personal issues. Deborah is a thoughtful person who provides a non-judgemental third person to help keep unhelpful emotions in check and encourage respectful communication and solutions for relationship improvement. Her suggestions for positive action we could take were practical, achievable and very helpful.”

“I feel so much more in control in my life since my time seeing Deborah. Sometimes it takes a trained eye to point out your strength’s and bring them to the fore. I liked Deborah’s smiley photo and found that first impressions are right – she is lovely.”

“Having been unable to work recently, due to several personal reasons, I attended counselling to help support me through one of the most challenging times in my life. Struggling to deal with this in my own and being determined to get my life back on track, I accepted that i needed some help from someone outside my family. Fortunately this was Deborah who has helped me remember that i am a unique individual who will recover and i did, through her kind and supporting approach. In summary: “Deborah gave me time to mend my broken wings and taught me how to fly again!”
A massive thank you for all your support.
