Therapy online really helped me, I felt my therapist really understood my issues and got to the root cause of my issues making me see things from a different perspective, I will continue therapy as and when I need it and it's great that my matches therapist will have previous information on me so we can get straight into it and start healing again instead of starting right from the beginning again and again which I found previously to better help.

Paula has been an amazing therapist and I wouldn't be the same person today without her help and understanding, and the skills that she has helped me develop.
She has been kind, compassionate and professional throughout, and has been able to accurately challenge my ways of thinking in a way that helps me understand my problems in a new light.
She was always quick to respond to my messages, no matter what the issue that I raised was, and was able to give helpful advice as it was needed.
