Written on Feb 18, 2023 after therapy with Barbara for 3 months

Barbara is an incredibly empathetic and compassionate therapist. I have really enjoyed working with her to identify the areas in my life that I wanted to improve and then seeing (and celebrating) the progress I achieved after implementing her suggestions. I tend to cry a lot when talking about tough subjects, and I never felt embarrassed to do so in front of Barbara. She taught me to recognize and validate my emotions instead of being ashamed of them, and that alone has been a hugely beneficial shift in how I view and treat myself.

Written on Aug 09, 2021 after therapy with Barbara for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety

Barbara is clearly a very experienced and brilliant therapist, she definitely has all the understanding and knowledge you’d expect and there’s no doubting she’s a professional.
However these qualities can apply to many in her field and as a review is non-descript, what makes Barbara stand out is her clear and endearing desire to understand you, she wants to know who you are without any doubt so she can do the best she can for you. She’s not doing this because she’s good at it (which she is) but because she wants to help and being as good at it as she is combined with her reasoning for doing it are just two of the reasons she’s so great but enough, I think to persuade you to give her a go. If you need help, Barbara won’t let you down.
