Testimonials

I have known Edwin for a year and have benefited from therapeutic support and care in overcoming post traumatic shock and in dealing with a breakdown in a relationship. I found Edwin supportive, caring and knowledgeable as he helped to guide me through a troubled personal time. Advice and a range of therapeutic strategies were used to help me manage daily.

I found that Edwin held and many aimed the highest possible personal standards throughout the time I attended sessions with him. I have no hesitation in commending Edwin to anyone seeking support'.

I had visited three therapists before I found Edwin! Within minutes of meeting Edwin, I knew I was in safe, experienced hands. Edwin’s approach is a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere without pressure. When I first began my journey into therapy, I was suffering with anxiety and stress that caused me physical and mental pain. I was very incapacitating by it on a daily basis. Edwin introduced me to a new perspective, and gave me immediate tools to help deal with the effects of my stress, and at the same time helped me evaluate the causes. My life is a lot better now, my stress is a lot lower, and I am running my life, as opposed to it running me… life is good, thank you Edwin! I would recommend Edwin’s skills to anybody, I know that first phone call to book an appointment is scary (I’ve been there) but embrace the fear, and give yourself a chance for something better.
