I am over the moon with my therapist and her approach. I’ve worked with Edna twice now through many different life events and her gentle, intuitive approach is exactly what I needed. She has supported me to get some brilliant results and I’ve learned to better show up for myself and find ways to process my emotions.

I've navigated some difficult experiences with Edna from loss and grief to anticipated grief and my dad's terminal illness. My sessions have given me the tools to weather each storm. My cousin recommended the app and honestly it's been the best gift she gave me and now that I continue to give myself. I can't recommend Edna enough, my first black therapist and the longest I've stayed in therapy tells you everything you need to know.

I have been seeing Edna for a couple of months now and since the first session I feel very safe with her. Her compassion and kindness has brought me to tears on a few occasions.
She is very good at listening, guiding and reminding me to be kind to myself.
Thank you Edna.

I decided to use this app after a bereavement and difficulties stemming from childhood PTSD. My sessions with Edna were very valuable and helped me gain an understanding on my emotional state. Edna is a fantastic therapist who allows you to lean in and fully immerse yourself in the process. I will be forever grateful.

Edna was counseling me for almost four month and the sessions were very productive and helpful.
Edna is a very empathic person and understands to ask the right questions what led me to reflect on my automatic thinking patterns and therefore created new insights about myself. She’s very professional and also checked in via text in between our sessions to see how I’m doing. I‘d highly recommend her.

Edna is an amazing therapist! She does an in-depth first session with you, so she really understands you and your background. From this, she chooses the style of the therapy sessions so they match your character and what would help you best to process and heal. She really helps you to see your experiences from a different perspective and she supports and empowers you to find your answers yourself to move forward. She’s checking in in between and you know someone is there who is really interested in your mental and emotional progress.

This is my first time going into therapy, although I was very anxious about the experience, Edna has been a lovely therapist. She listens and responds to what is being said and you truly feel that you have been heard. It is easy to converse with Edna as I feel she is non-judgemental and not only helps you by talking through your experiences and feelings, but validates them as well. In that way it is easier to express things and open up to her. It is a relief to know that there is someone I can go to talk to without worrying about additional judgement.

Edna has been simply amazing! I have never done therapy before and was so nervous and wasn’t sure it would help. Having Edna as my first therapist has been the best thing for me- she is so knowledgeable and seems to always get to the heart of the situation. I feel like my life has changed for the better in such a short amount of time. Edna I feel is the type of therapist you imagine and hope to have when you think of getting therapy. I am beyond grateful.

I saw Edna for 3 months. Edna was completely present for my situation she listened and responded in the best way, she was great.
She was kind and respectful of my position and feelings at all times and gave sound suggestions appropriate to each session. There was always a feeling of her holding my inner mess with care, but also noticing how to help me cope and broaden my view of myself. I found the whole experience invaluable and would recommend her to anyone.

Edna is kind, compassionate and a great listener. She offers thought provoking questions to help the individual find their own answers. She is exceptionally observant, remarkably so for video calls, and tunes in to what the person truly needs.

Edna is kind warm and very intuitive. She is excellent at listening and recognising how i feel and encourages me to check into myself and my emotions during the session. She also checks in during the week with messages and she leaves each session with a though or action to practice.
From the Initial session i felt i could open up and trust her to explore the way I felt and I look forward to continue working with her
