Mari: ” I would just like to thank you for all you have done for our son over the last few months. He is a totally different boy and back to his old self. He is really positive about his future and has learnt to share his feelings and talk openly with us. He has really come a long way”

I couldn’t recommend Alex enough. I sought help from Alex due to burn out at work which resulted in increased anxiety and low mood. I was at a very low point but Alex helped me through this, teaching me how to think differently and how to refocus my life with me and my family at the centre rather than my job. He utilised different techniques of CBT and mindfulness and gave me practical ways to deal with my anxiety. I am now in a place of happiness and fulfilment but I also now have the tools to deal with situations or times when I can become overwhelmed or anxious. Alex was always kind and patient and I will be forever grateful. Thank you.

“Thanks, EMDR has been life changing. I no longer have flashbacks, panic attacks or ruminating negative self beliefs regarding my past traumas”

Mari Aldridge was very, very good. I don’t think I could have seen a better consultant, I want to give my very good thanks to her. Once again thank you very much.

Thank you for everything – for keeping me going at my lowest points, for keeping me alive and for just listening and understanding.

I trusted you with my darkest secrets, you never gave up and I’m now not alone with the darkness.

“I would strongly recommend Alex if you are suffering from anxiety, panic attacks or, if life just feels very overwhelming for you at the moment. I took my time in choosing a therapist locally, which was hard as there are quite a few, but Alex stood out as he is clinically trained as a nurse and in CBT. The face to face sessions were great, well structured with a clear purpose of what we were going to do and I could tell after the first session this was going to help, and after a few sessions the brain fog was lifting and things were making sense. If I need booster sessions I know I can rebook back in with Alex again too. My thanks again Alex”.

I just wanted to thank you once again for all of your work with my daughter, this time last year. Those were scary times for all of us and she is now in such a better place working, socialising and growing in confidence. Your kindness, professionalism and advice were central to where she is today. Our family will be forever grateful.

“My therapy sessions with Alex really helped me overcome my social anxiety. He was very supportive and encouraging and showed me ways to tackle my anxiety. He was always positive that there was a way through, which helped me stay positive. Alex was available in person and also over zoom, I would highly recommend him to anyone struggling with anxiety issues.”

Donna has helped me to work through my experiences of trauma using EMDR. Donna listened to me and understood me. Donna made me feel safe to open up about what I have been through with her kind, warm, and non judgmental approach. I felt able to talk about things that make me who i am, including my sexuality and neurodiversity. I now feel calmer, more self confident, and I no longer feel powerless. I whole heartedly recommend Donna as a therapist.

“My therapist provided excellent support and advice and good clear direction for us at a difficult time. I was really impressed by her expertise in autism and the practical benefits this provided”

I have been seeing Donna for just under a year, and I can’t speak highly enough about the positive impact she’s had on my life. She introduced me to EMDR, which has been genuinely transformative. Donna’s expertise and compassionate approach made me feel comfortable and supported throughout, helping me to work through challenging memories in a way that felt safe and empowering. Her warmth, insight, and professionalism have been invaluable to my healing journey, and I feel more grounded and resilient because of her guidance. I would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a skilled and caring therapist – she’s brilliant!
