• “I found Ursula was able to understand what exactly was the problem, better than myself and was able to unravel the confusion that I had been feeling towards my father and his passing. I had a lot of issues surrounding my father’s passing and the family dynamics that occurred going forward. It was very very helpful to be able to offload my anger and exasperation at the actions of others. The sessions allowed me to both vent my anger ( although not in an aggressive way!)  I realised what my confusion meant and gained a lot better understanding of why I was finding things hard to process. Ursula was able to unlock my confusion and as a consequence I feel a lot lighter.”
• Thanks again for the counselling sessions. It was very valuable to have a supportive listening ear during a difficult period as I was dealing with a cancer diagnosis and going through treatment. I found your calm and non-judgemental listening helpful as I worked through my feelings about different treatment options, and you asked some really good questions that helped me to find sources of strength and ways to move through the situation with more confidence and even positivity.
• I was feeling incredibly down over the Xmas period, so much so that I was thinking life wasn’t worth living for. I spoke to my employer and they put me through a programme. I had been appointed Ursula as my councillor. I found her incredibly easy to talk to, and felt I can get things off my chest that possibly couldn’t with friends and family. Over the weeks my mindset was regaining it’s strength and having a more clear focus on what was important to me. The road forward isn’t easy and it still has its challenges but speaking to someone like Ursula most definitely helped me within my journey. I couldn’t recommend her high enough, if life is tough for you, I encourage you to give her a call. It’ll all be worth it. Ursula was amazing – she didn’t say much but made me come up with the answers and new thoughts. Thank you.
• I felt there were awkward moments of silence and I felt sometimes that I was expected to lead the session. However the sessions I had with you were helpful for me and I did feel understood. The post-traumatic stress that I have been trying to deal with really shattered my confidence at work and I have been trying to deal with it for many years.
• Thank you for your support I found it helped me greatly to see things more clearly and to forward to what is happening instead of looking back at what has happened.
• Really great service, felt held and listened to throughout. Much appreciated.
• I felt the sessions were very empathetic and although the technique of repeating back what I’ve said is useful to some extent – I did feel sometimes I wanted to explore further and have some more solution based discussion..with examples.
• “Has been very helpful and has allowed me to express my anger and anxiety. Would highly recommend the service to colleagues. Allowed me to express my worries and to reflect on my employment to make positive decisions for my future.”
• “Didn’t judge, gave encouragement to talk, interested in what I had to say; I have been given the tools to be more positive in any situation; I just didn’t know how I could change the way I felt.”
• “Thank you to Ursula for helping me to positively challenge myself and to use some techniques to refocus from a very negative view of life to a more positive approach.”
• “Excellent service – highly recommended.”
