What our clients say
After I had a car crash my whole life went into turmoil and Dr David really helped me change that over time. I struggled with what felt like PTSD and every time I heard loud noises I would get flashbacks. After a few sessions, I saw the affects of therapy…
Harry
Since working with Dr Kelly in situations where I would usually be flooded with fear, anxiety and be hyper emotional, I respond differently now. With ease and less fear/doubt. Dr Kelly will be the 1st professional I call if I find myself needing to work through experiences again.
Client Testimonal 2025
Thanks to Dr Eleanor and the practice of EMDR. They have helped me regain a former piece of myself I thought lost, and I am now able to move forward.
Client Testimonial 2025
Chryssa helped me navigate through several events that really challenged my boundaries, helping me be confident so that I was thinking rationally and not reactively. More importantly, I began to trust myself and how I thought about my relationships with other people.
