Testimonials

"I strongly recommend Monika as a therapist. Finding the right fit is critical and she is just that for me; her ability to  process information quickly, provide tangible solutions and mix this with empathy and even humour was a winning combination for me. 

I contacted Monika when I no longer felt I could cope and everything seemed to be going wrong at once. I couldn't see any path forward and seemed to be repeating the same stressful cycles and self-regulating with alcohol. Monika quickly identified the issues, helped me gain an understanding of my patterns and provided me with concrete tools to break the habits. 

Being a mother of two young kids and also a professional with a busy work life, I also particularly appreciate Monika's flexibility in hours as well as her patient-led approach of how often I chose to meet. Our sessions clicked from the start and continue to be effective as each week I felt like a load had been lifted off my shoulders; I feel heard and in control as she helps me navigate a path forward."

"Monika is supporting my son with addiction issues. For the first time in 6 years I felt listened to. Monika offered support and advice and gave my son and our whole family hope for the first time that support services are out there, and recovery is possible. Her knowledge and advice has meant more than you will ever know."

"Alcohol addiction has always been a very big problem of mine. I have struggled to control the addiction, having seen many therapists for help. Personally, I did not want to give up alcohol and feared that may be the case. I was then recommended Monika, and I could not be more grateful that I was.

With her help not only have I been able to control my alcohol consumption, but I have also been able to reduce it, to a much healthier level. I now continue to see Monika for further therapy, to do with reasons for my addiction, and possible solutions to deep rooted issues.  I have to admit that Monika is better than I expected, and I can not thank her enough" Sara-Louse Ack

"Can I say thank you for the work completed with S and getting him into the position he is in today. It's brilliant to see he has turned the corner and even though it is a daily fight and struggle, he can see the benefits from this. We are pleased that he has come back to work and has become the valued member of the team he was 10 months ago. We have given him the day off paid tomorrow, to be able to see you."

"I would like to thank you SO much for your advice and encouragement over the last few months in helping me to reduce my alcohol consumption from 190 units per week to a much less worrying 25!  And I haven't finished yet!  When we next speak, I'm sure I will have reached my target!"

"Before I contacted your office, my GP suggested that I might benefit from getting some confidential counselling.  My response was to say that I would prefer do it by my own efforts and exercise a bit more self-control.  However, my hope of solving the problem myself never happened and after some more gentle persuasion from my GP, I agreed to give it a try - and I'm so glad I did."

"Starting with my first telephone chat with you, I found your non-judgemental approach to my situation to be very welcome and not at all what I expected.  Our subsequent telephone chats made me re-think my attitude towards alcohol and the easily achievable targets you suggested for me helped me realise that I could, after all, reach a healthier way of living."

"The good thing about seeking help from people such as yourselves is that it is much easier and far more effective than trying to talk about alcohol dependency face to face with family or friends.  Telephone counselling with a friendly and supportive person who doesn't know you is an excellent strategy and has certainly worked for me. "
