Shanni is an excellent therapist who is deeply kind and empathetic, I feel like I am making great progress with her and would recommend her to anyone

I have found the sessions with my therapist very helpful. Being taken seriously and listened to helping me to move forward and take positive steps to address the issues I have wanted to address for a long time.

Shanni has been a comfort to me, we’ve only had two sessions but she lets me rant away about everything I need to and I know she writes it all down to grasp a better picture of how I’m feeling about that situation or about my feelings towards myself. She doesn’t judge me at all and she’s managed to make me laugh which is a miracle these days! She sets me tasks which help me gain a better picture on my own feelings about myself and I’ve noticed they’re quite negative right now, I hope I can start to feel better soon I’m sure Shanni will help me massively she has already :).
