"Working with Charley over the past year has been pivotal in helping me navigate some tricky personal issues. Therapy can be daunting, uncomfortable, and really scary; I really struggled with the unnatural and self confronting nature of the process at first. Charley was kind, nonjudgmental and crucially she didn’t rush me to trust her and open up quickly- we went at my pace (which was probably pretty slow!). Whilst I initially sought therapy for a particular issue , after working on that issue I chose to continue therapy with Charley, as I navigated tricky identity issues - Charley was extremely flexible & understanding about the change in discussions in the therapeutic work. As we worked together longer, I came to see my sessions with Charley as a non-judgmental safe space removed from the rest of my life, with a woman who was on my side. Whilst my sessions have had to come to a current end when I’m ready to re-tackle issues explored within my sessions I would without a doubt contact Charley. I’m incredibly grateful for Charley’s warm compassionate, personal approach. Her therapeutic skills I will carry with me, as I navigate the chaos of being in my early 20s."
"I feel that what has happened in the past is in the past... You have given me coping mechanisms and I feel I just want to continue with whatever life throws at me now. I am so grateful to you for helping me with very upsetting issues but I am coping with them and find I’m not troubled with them now"
