Written on Apr 02, 2022 after therapy with Tess for 2 weeks on issues concerning coping with life changes

Tess has been a game changer for me, she is caring and authentic and brings a solution-based approach to every issue I raise. She is the first therapist to make me see how my day to day habits and self talk are training my brain to hold me back (and how I can change this). I’m so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough to others who may have had a difficult therapy experience up until now.

Tess is great at what she does! She really helped me look at my thought patterns and beliefs differently and gave me useful tools and techniques to help me navigate difficult emotions. She helps you understand the relationship between what you’re feeling and your brain which was highly useful for me to put things into perspective. After only two sessions I felt much more capable of handling my challenges by myself.

Counseling by Tess has been extremely helpful in my struggle with family issues. She listens and correctly sees “the problem behind the problem”, which makes it possible for me to work on it. Besides very useful worksheets she also sent me a very helpful article which helped me to see my situation from a different perspective and explore the deeper meaning and reason behind it. Thank you, Tess!!!!!!

Tess is trying to help me move past my situation and think in different way.
A better way how to be confident, and move on, be independent and challenge myself. Have faith in myself. To be secure in my own life. Are the things l want to be. Be secure in my life. I know, the first is the biggest step.

She is warm, nurturing yet assertive. She treats people with a lot of patience and still encourage you to do the work, to be honest and to commit to the one thing it matters, your well-being. That is very inspirational because it motivates you to keep trying not to give up on yourself and that you are capable of making it work.
Approachable, tender, caring, genuine and most importantly goal-oriented.
I would totally recommend her. Thank you, Tess
