‘Carole you are an absolute angel! Thankyou for all your hard work. D**** has started attended School again, able to complete a full week. Communicates with me more as she understands herself better, she has her diagnosis and everything in her world is better than it was before. I can’t thankyou enough. You have a heart of gold, and we will always be grateful to you.’

‘Hi Carol, I know C******* had her last session today but just wanted to say thankyou for everything. The past 6 months felt very dark for us as a family, having to constantly monitor food intake, the arguments, weekly weigh ins, meal plans, self-harm. It was hard for us to process that our teenager had all of this to contend with alongside her exams. But you supported her through, listened to her, showed kindness and gave her coping tools. Even me through my frustrations and willingness for C******** to just get better. I won’t forget the turning point for us as all when she left that session with you that day, feeling positive about a fresh start and making better and positive choices. Thankyou so much. You’re amazing.’

‘Cheers Carole for everything, my wife says you are the reason we are still married! Seriously though I’ve learnt how to communicate much better thanks to you. I deal with the issues I have as soon as they happen, with a calm approach, rather than avoiding it all, being silent, walking out or getting angry. Before coming to you, I didn’t know any other way. I know I’m a better man for it. Thanks.’

‘Experiencing what I did as a child, stayed with me for years. Sitting on that Blue couch every week showed me that. Being able to talk to my Mum about it was needed as I finally said the things that I knew were still hurting me and that she thought I had forgotten about. Thankyou Carole, our relationship isn’t perfect, but we are definitely getting there and in a much better place now than we were. You gave me a safe place to cry and process it all. I can live my life now without carrying it all, like I used too. Thankyou.’

‘Carol, I want to thank you for all your support over the past year. I had severe OCD and Social Anxiety when I started with you. My OCD impacted my partner, our children, work and even what we could do daily. When I started Therapy, I was sceptical as I just didn’t believe it was going to work as you know I had lived with my OCD for 11 years. L*** begged me too as it was affecting everything. But how wrong was I? You encouraged and supported me and taught me skills that help me to manage my OCD and those obsessive thoughts which I know are ridiculous to others but that take over sometimes. I no longer wash my hands every second of the day anymore to the point where they are sore and hurting. Neither do I worry obsessively about having to sit next to strangers on the train going into work. I enjoy not having to work from home anymore and excessively complete my rituals which was driving L*** crazy. He says life is normal like when we first met again, and I can’t thankyou enough. But I will. Thanks again.’

‘Hey Carole, Just wanted to email you to say thankyou again. When I came to Counselling, I was super low as you know. Everything felt miserable and the pain of my separation overwhelmed to the point that I couldn’t eat, sleep and didn’t want to see any of my friends or family and the thought of dating or moving on made me feel super uncomfortable. You helped me to process the relationship for what it was and accept that life goes on and is for living regardless.’

'Carole has been someone that I have been able to confide in and trust through a very difficult time'.

'I have suffered with Anxiety and Depression for a long time, Carole you have given me hope, AS WELL AS strategies. THANKS.'

'Thank you Carole for the work that you have done with my daughter. The change in her has been noticeable by us and others, she is happier and able to deal with issues that she felt were out of control.’

'I had never had Counselling before I went to Blue Couch. Carole made me feel at ease and allowed me to talk and work through my issues.'

'We were both at the verge of a break up after years of trying to work things out. Carol you listened, you didn't judge and you supported US. Thank you so much.'

'Carole you have a calm, kind and genuine nature. You have helped to guide me and provide me with coping skills that I can use now for the rest of my life. Thank you.’
