Client Testimonials

Here's what others thought of the service at Higher Ground Counselling:

I found Michelle to be very down-to-earth and approachable. I never felt judged, and the sessions didn't feel clinical which made it very easy to be open and make the best use of my time in each session. Michelle does a great job of striking the balance between being a professional and feeling like an every day person. Looking back, I realise how much progress I made without ever feeling like I was being forced in one direction.

I left with a much clearer sense of my current emotional state and for the first time in months, felt a lot less jumbled up and lost. I feel much more able to understand my grief now, I'll always be so grateful to you for that.

Thanks to Michelle's kindness and patience, I feel more confident and capable in myself than ever.

Michelle gave me the tools to enable me to begin to turn my life around. It was a very positive, enabling experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to others.

Michelle is so approachable and provides a warm, safe environment for talking. She succeeds in making you feel good about yourself and encourages open discussion about topics that have been closed away for too long. I particularly appreciated 'explanations given by Michelle. I think that's what helped me the most. Friends have commented on the difference in me, too.

I only went for two sessions, but I found them so helpful! Each time after seeing Michelle, I felt refreshed. I realised I was progressively shaking off some of the weight on my shoulders. Michelle is professional and friendly, and makes you feel comfortable.

Michelle was the second counsellor I met, the first I just hadn’t seemed to gel with, and I knew the relationship with my counsellor was key to the sessions being a success. I instantly felt at ease in Michelle’s presence, and the environment felt like a safe place.
