Shirley has provided peace and personal insight
I write regarding the wonderfully insightful counselling services Shirley has provided me. I came looking into a black tunnel that was collapsing around me. I leave with the tunnel stretching out ahead of me into the sunshine, with more peace than I have known for many years. I have learned so much about controlling my emotions and future. Shirley has played a significant part in my journey.

Shirley has a special ability to recognise unhealthy patterns
Ive known Shirley for many years and it is hard to put into words what she has done for me.
She has helped me through some very dark periods of my life and to recognise patterns in my life that have been causing me trouble in my relationships. If it wasn’t for Shirley’s counselling, my relationship would never have succeeded. I am married now and with Shirley’s fantastic perspective and guidance I would never be where I am now. She has helped me to gain the tools I need for dealing with the difficulties that arise through life.
I always felt safe and relaxed in our sessions and never discussed items that I was not quite ready to tackle. She has a natural ability to know when to push and when not to. She is never judgemental, always a pleasure to see, and always very professional.
She has helped me immensely.

Our lives began to change for the better
We had the opportunity to spend some time with Shirley when we found we were facing the same destructive issues constantly in our relationship. After each going through divorce in the past we didn’t want to follow that same path. Meeting with Shirley was a real departure from how we had been accustomed to solving problems. Shirley got each of us talking about how our own part of the problems impacted the other and we were then able to take personal responsibility for ensuring our own behaviours were consistent with a healthy relationship. From the first meeting, we saw our relationship improving. It was a time that we both focussed on each other and put everything else aside so that we could build a solid foundation for a lifetime relationship. With Shirley’s help we’ve been able to achieve this.

Challenging Stuff
Its always good to talk to someone about stuff, whether that be relationship, step parenting, parenting, work or any other life challenging As a male I find it hard to talk about my stuff, but Shirley’s empathy and understanding puts me at ease. I find a 3rd party opinion or guidance on challenging problems is always a good option, helping me develop strategies to move forward. I certainly would recommend Shirley.
