Great listener, always positive when those around you are negative, some great techniques for improving your mood. Karole provided me with clarity on my situation guiding me to a meaningful and lasting resolution. Without doubt I would recommend Karole.

Karole, listens well, is very easy to talk to and is not judgmental. I trusted her straight away. We got to the heart of my issues quickly and then spent time on mechanisms to help me recognise my issues and handle them when they come up. Karole's help has made a significant difference to me. Thanks Karole :-) and thanks to findatherapist.co.uk for putting us in touch.

Went in to the first meeting with great trepidation, and was immediately put at ease. Working with Karole never felt like therapy, it was always just so easy. It must have been therapy though because it really worked. I cannot thank her enough.

I went to see Karole as a fear of flying had escalated, and I needed help to enable me to go on a holiday I had booked. I had been advised to try CBT. Karole made me feel very comfortable, relaxed and very reassured in the fact that I had made a very positive move in seeking help. Through Karole I was able to gain quick access to CBT, was given exercises to practice and tools to help me. I found my therapy sessions a very positive and enjoyable experience, and after 5 sessions was able to face flying to go on a holiday! The fact that Karole offered evening and weekend sessions was very helpful in fitting therapy in around a full time job. I would highly recommend Karole.

Karole is very much a straight talker which i personally think is a great quality, she has a great sense of humour which makes the sessions with her enjoyable rather than intimidating and I often find myself laughing during sessions with her. She often relates things that you say to her own personal experiences which allows you to feel she understands you on a personal level and It is my opinion that she genuinely cares for each of her clients. I have found that Karole is extremely flexible with her sessions which means that she fits around your life extremely well. Karole also ensures that she always maintains confidentiality and professional boundaries, and she endeavours to remain professionally up to date and often attends additional courses. I would highly recommend Karole as a counsellor as I believe she has helped me move forward in my own life. I hope you come to enjoy your sessions with her as much as I do. It has undoubtably been the best money I have ever spent.

Karole is a very experienced and highly qualified therapist. Having visited other therapists, I was surprised at how easy it was to talk to Karole and how quickly she understood my concerns. She is a fantastic listener, incredibly understanding and offers practical and simple ways to work through and deal with problems - big and small. I can't recommend Karole highly enough. She is a fantastic therapist and because of this I have seen extremely positive results in my personal and professional life.
