I have been with Avril for about 4 months now and she has been a key tool in my development with anxiety. She has given me effective ways to rationalise how I am feeling and I would recommend her to anyone.

Avril is a good listener, she doesn’t judge , she has empathy and she has good ideas. I feel suggestions come at a perfect pace focusing on one or two things in each session.

Avril is an extremely empathetic therapist. I was pleasantly surprised when I realised that she can understand my struggles, despite cultural and ethnic differences. She has a calm demeanour, listens to you with full attention, and she never refers to my problems as ‘problems’, rather they are ‘issues to tackle’. I have come to understand and appreciate therapy and mental health wellbeing, thanks to Avril. She doesn’t offer any advice and instead lets you talk/voice out your thoughts and emotions. I have had many breakthroughs in therapy, and people around me have noticed a difference in my emotional regulation. Thanks, Avril!
