I would really say , my experience with my therapist Bridget Donkin has been great. I was confused by bringing past issues in the present. My therapist helped me see what is mine and what is something that I should not be concerned with. The support was great. After my sessions. I never thought about any of those past moments again because I feel clear and out the any confusions.

What a beautiful soul Bridget is. She's an excellent listener. She's good at reading between the lines. I feel "heard" when I speak to her. I've only had three sessions with her so far, but in that time I have felt lots of relief during my days from the wisdom and techniques she has shared with me to help me with negative thoughts, and healthy anxiety feelings. Bridget is warm, compassionate, kind, gentle, yet assertive in her approach. I'm so thankful for her and grateful that I found her.

Bridget Donkin is a patient and wise person. When I first reached out to her I didn't know what to bring up first and basically threw it all out there at once. She was very good at sorting out what things needed digging deeper into, and I felt a lot of relief after chatting with her. If you're looking for a kind therapist, Donkin is a lovely option!

Bridget has been the greatest support for me during a very difficult time in my life. She has listened, cared and given me space to learn about myself.
