Sue made me feel at ease at all times. She listened attentively to me, was very supportive and raised my awareness. By the end of our sessions, I felt more confident and reassured.
Thank you Sue for guiding me through some of life’s challenges.
Following the break-up of my marriage, Sue helped me pick through and accept the many changes that this brought for me and my daughter.
Having a safe non-judgmental space to talk was a true lifeline. After a hard emotional week having a counselling session – no matter how tough the session – always left me feeling better. Sue genuinely understood the emotions and fears that I was going through.
Now 18 months on I have just had my last session with Sue and am a much stronger and happier person for it. I will be forever in Sue’s debt for helping me though this difficult time in my life. My one regret is I didn’t go to her sooner.
Sue has helped me tremendously with my life and helped me to resolve the difficult situation I was facing. Through our sessions, Sue gave me a place to rest and recover and the time to unravel the struggles I was having. Continued sessions helped me to reconstruct my thinking in a calm and positive way to overcome these difficulties.
With Sue’s continued support I was able to rebuild and move forwards.
I would highly recommend Sue to help with any relationship or life situations you are finding difficult.
I had my doubts about seeking counselling. I believed there to be a stigma attached and I was unsure of what to expect. I went to see Sue and the whole thing blew my mind. It was a relaxed environment and Sue was excellent. Totally unassuming and non-judgemental.
I learnt so much about the way I think and see the world. It also taught me to respect myself. I had a very positive experience and I would recommend it to anyone. It’s good to talk.
Sue is extremely compassionate, professional and understanding. She listens well and always asked pertinent and objective questions to help me put things into perspective and to see things in a different light. I was at a very low point when I came to see Sue and my sessions with her were always the highlight of the week, where I could openly discuss my thoughts and feelings without judgement.
As the sessions progressed, I could see improvements on my outlook with more positive thoughts of future plans. The environment Sue provides – both in the location and her approach – ensure a calming and relaxing atmosphere in which to truly open up, with the knowledge everything discussed is in total confidence.
Thanks to Sue I managed to break free from keeping myself hidden away and now look forward to waking up to a new day and looking to the future with optimism, confidence and positivity.
Thank you, Sue, for being there to listen, for your help and advice, the tools and encouragement to lead a happier and healthier life.
Initially I was nervous about attending counselling but I found the overall outcome excellent and I have an open door to return if I need further help. Thank you.
I was having some personal issues concerning my family and life style. I was unsure who to turn to when I sought the help of Sue Garner, a specialist counsellor in the issues that I was facing. She was great at listening and the sessions were very relaxed, flexible and catered to my needs, which made it reassuring and comfortable for me to speak.
I would like to thank Sue for her help and I can say since her sessions I am very happy and content with how things are going. I would highly recommend her counselling service to anyone.
