I was so well matched with Rachel and thought she was amazing. I felt she gave me the tools to enable me to move forward. Even though my recovery is hard, I know what Rachel gave me and that I am forever grateful for. I will however in the future be in touch with Rachel again for more sessions but I am aware at this stage I need to work on what she gave me. Thank you Rachel for all your knowledge, patience and understanding.

Counselling is very personal to everyone. I found Michelle an extremely easy person to open up to and my counselling sessions with her have been invaluable to me. I can highly recommend anyone who is dealing with difficult emotional issues to look no further for help and support from Ratcliffe Therapeutic Counselling.

I felt like she was a really good match for me. She was welcoming and I felt relaxed straight away. I didn't get to do as many as I would of liked due to my move back home for a year, but the 5 sessions I did have I felt I made progress. Rachel was amazing. Thank you Rachel so much, I also know I can come back if needed. I felt I had the best. I wasn't expecting to like counselling or feel relaxed but I really did. Thank you so very much.

I felt like we were really well suited and had good chemistry from the very start; she was very relatable. It was my first time counselling but I knew I needed it. Rachel got me through some very tough times. It was new territory for me and it was a really quick turnaround between feeling awful and a lot more in control. I am so grateful. She let me lead and listened to my journey. We explored when I started to attack myself. She always allowed me to talk and never talked over me. Overall, it was a very good experience. I wouldn’t change anything about the experience. Thank you, Rachel.

“My counsellor suited me perfectly and was gentle and down to earth. She gave me time to talk and really let it be my time. She wasn’t patronising (like I thought most counsellors would be) which was a relief and I felt comforted. She has compassion and helped me to recognise the good parts of me, not by telling me, but by supporting me to explore things. Certain things we discussed changed my outlook on how I can move forwards and grow into the me I want to be. She was just really amazing.”
