“I would highly recommend Anna Graves. She took time to completely understand me and my issues. She is an excellent communicator and always allowed me to find my own solutions.”
“It was a pleasure working with you, you held me when I was falling down and kept me right up. Thank you for everything. You escorted my long, tough journey”
“I received an email the day after I emailed which was very prompt. I felt comfortable to discuss any issues during the counselling sessions and that the time was completely mine to use however would help me. I found Anna helped highlight keypoints and clarify difficult issues, which at the time were hazy. I always felt very supported and free to discuss anything in a non-judgemental and safe environment. Thank you.”
"Counselling helped me gain confidence again. I would use this service again if I needed to. Thank you Anna, for all your help and support"
"The counselling helped me to look at my life as a whole and I was able to seek help from Anna about issues unrelated to the original issue that I'd gone for, which was really helpful. It also helped me to piece bits together that I'd never seen as linked before."
"Counselling helped me to be happier with who I am and helped me realise what I have achieved in my life. It made me realise that everyone needs to talk about things. I truely benefited from the service."
