Testimonials
“I am someone who has never had counselling before and so was apprehensive as to how helpful it would be.You put me at ease from the very beginning, and allowed me to go at my own pace in exploring my issues in our weekly sessions. I felt very comfortable sharing my feelings of anxiety, lack of confidence and, having no faith in myself to go about day to day tasks, or going to social occasions. I never felt judged in any way and each week you gave me hints and strategies that I could use to help me build my confidence. I could see myself making progress and looked forward to our weekly sessions.When I came to see you I was in a very bad place, and actually did not realise how bad I was. You have helped me to better understand who I am, to accept who I am, and you have helped me move towards becoming who I want to be. I no longer have those awful knots of anxiety in my stomach, and have an inner strength that many months ago I never thought I would feel. I am much more confident in going out to social events and feel so much happier in myself. I could not have done this without your support. Thank you so much”.(client)“I can honestly say I was in a hole before I went to the counselling with Crisitina, she has help me to understand how I feel, and recognise my emotions, I was so trapped in my own head she has really helped me, I can honestly say when first started this experience I didn’t believe I could feel myself again, I’m getting back to me, but I feel she has given me the tools I need to ensure that I do not digress to the very dark place I was very grateful for her time. I would defiantly recommend her to anyone, she’s brilliant.” (client)
“My name is H, I have had the privilege of having Cristina council me for a few months. My confidence was low, no self-worth or esteem.
Cristina is a very polite and active listener and has the professionalism too. Total trust in her and she is very approachable to open up to.
Her bed side manner and charming soft approach is refreshing and makes her unique in the counselling world.
I hope that others that need counselling can use her services.” (H)
“Christina I found your counselling sessions worthwhile in every aspect in helping me through a difficult emotional situation. You were most attentive and where appropriate gave me feedback encouraging me to concentrate on the good and positive things in my life which are many. After each session I was able to move forward and look to the future with hope and confidence that this is a temporary situation and matters can improve.
You demonstrated a great deal of empathy, discretion and confidence.
I thank you so much for your uplifting comments and support.” (male client)
“I approached Cristina Garcia-Hebson for help with finding a way to live peacefully with a painful and complicated family issue. I was carrying around a huge muddle of feelings and beliefs and I needed professional help to make sense of it all.
Cristina’s non-judgemental, encouraging and gentle way of drawing out emotionally painful issues and then making sense of them in therapy over two to three months has helped me to equip myself to live a happy and fulfilling life with a new attitude. Being a person who found practical problems easier to solve than emotional problems, I thoroughly recommend Cristina with her kind, gentle but practical manner to anyone who perhaps needs to “take hold” of painful issues, find a way to deal with them effectively and see life in a different light.” (AB)
