She has helped me so much over the past year. I don't think I would be where I am now without her

Lisa-Marie has been so kind and understanding in helping me work through so much. I have especially appreciated the inner child healing work, and I love her sometimes unorthodox methods (e.g. asking what bird I think I am)! I have been learning how to be better, and as a student it is so lovely to be able to work on my healing whilst having a busy schedule! I would very much recommend her, and she is so lovely <3

I made a mistake in my relationship and was overwhelmed with feelings of shame and guilt for years. It felt all-consuming and extremely lonely. I was convinced I was stuck like this for good and beat myself up continuously. I signed up for Better Help at a point when I felt I couldn't do this alone anymore. I just finished my last session and I can't explain how different I feel after only a few months. My therapist guided me through rewriting narratives I had created of myself and my experiences that weren't getting me anywhere. I always felt safe, listened to, and understood which was really important to me. I now feel so much lighter, more at peace, more resilient, and more worthy than I could have ever imagined in those days before I signed up for therapy. I leave knowing I have the courage to get through whatever life throws at me. Thank you.

Lisa-Marie has been the best therapist I’ve ever had. She is able to flip through so many topics in one session, following my train of thought the whole time. She has an incredible sense of the underlying message that hides behind my words. I don’t know where I would be if I had never met her. A really beautiful soul and a life changing experience

My experience with Lisa-Marie has been very positive. I started therapy when I was feeling lost and uncertain about my future. Lisa-Marie gave me a non-judgemental space to explore my thoughts and experiences. She was empathetic, communicated effectively, helped me set goals and challenged me. She was flexible with scheduling and always respected my privacy and thought processes. My mental health and personal growth has improved vastly thanks to her guidance.

I have been seeing Lisa-Marie for nearly 2months. I suffer with anxiety which I'm really hoping to overcome. My sessions with Lisa-Marie are always on time, calming and beneficial. Whether it be just talking through my week and giving me advice on how to cope or ways to manage things in future, or talking through my therapy goals and personal history to piece together my trigger points. Even in the short time with working with Lisa-Marie I feel my mindset has shifted and I am feeling more positive about the future. Lisa-Marie is always patient and understanding during our sessions, and I would highly recommend her.
