Testimonials

“Jackie encouraged me to phone her if I was experiencing specific difficulties. She was able to draw together complex situations into an understandable and workable form. Her energy and engatement remained consistent despite the lengthy conversations. She is highly dedicated and conscientious and has the ability to accurately judge the superficial and underlying issues because she is sensitive to hidden meanings. Her background in psychology and her own self-awareness is a tremendous asset and a credit to her. Jackie is open and honest and role models this well. It is not difficult to expose vulnerabilities with her. She presents as genuinely interested in people and inspires them to fulfil their potential”. J.T., Senior Psychiatric Nurse.

“Realism is a strength that Jackie has; she is often able to move me forward by helping me identify different courses of action that I hadn’t previously considered. She does this is a very gentle way and helps me understand why I feel as I do in a situation and that is very useful in helping me change my reactions/response to a situation. She is also able to suggest why other people may have reacted in a particular way and helps me find other ways of dealing with their reactions” J.G., Finance Director

“Jackie’s professional approach kept me on the ’straight and narrow’ where I have a tendency to ramble off the subject. She is a very warm, non judgemental person who is very easy to talk to even about very private matters which I find hard to broach. It was useful when she repeated back to me things that I had said in earlier sessions that I had forgotten saying” A.C., Solicitor

“For the first time in my life I’ve been given support and encouragement regarding my present and future. This has enabled me to prioritize and concentrate on sorting out and focusing on what is REALLY important in my life … and that important thing is me. It has taken me 38 years to realize that. Thank you.” K.W., Actor

“Through working with Jackie I have learnt to trust myself and have reaffirmed just how capable I am of achieving my goals. I have opened up to new concepts and philosophies and feel the better for it, stronger and more connected to the world and people who are important to me. It was a difficult journey at times, with major conflicts that had to happen but I had been putting it off for nearly five years. The effect this had on my life was utterly cathartic and I do not regret it at all. I really appreciate the way Jackie has helped me” P. L.,Lecturer
