New Perception Counselling and Psychotherapy 

Phoebe’s approach was perfect for me.  She helped me to clearly identify, explore and articulate my issues, giving me the space to feel heard and seen.  I felt supported, which was so important when facing into most uncomfortable situations and experiences.  Not only did she support me in releasing problems for healing but she also helped me build a tool kit I can use to take care of myself.

This has been life changing for me. Phoebe listened to me and helped me to understand myself to a level that I have never had before. I feel that I will continue to build on what I have learned so that my authentic self is ever more present.

I started therapy with Phoebe because I had some issues in the family and also because I had an issue with my relationship. Phoebe was very professional and put me at ease and started by getting background information. The sessions were conversational and after identifying certain points,  progressed on by delving deeply into the past and working out if there were any behaviour patterns that I had inherited that are now manifesting as current behaviours.

Phoebe is very good at drawing out events from the past and identifying points that need further analysis. She has also given good hints at coping with various scenarios which have proved helpful. She also recommended some very thoughtful reading material. Overall, it has given a great deal of food for thought and opened up a whole new view on subjects such as shame & guilt and a new perspective on how other emotions and patterns control our lives.

I contacted Phoebe when I hit a period in my life, when I felt that everything in my life was going wrong and falling apart and I was no longer able to cope. It felt like a crisis. My experience working with Phoebe has been incredibly rewarding. Firstly, she is extremely accommodating and a very comfortable person to talk to. She treated our sessions with respect and care by creating a welcoming, non-judgemental and safe place to discuss my ongoing issues. Secondly, I found the sessions very stimulating and enlightening. Phoebe worked with me not only on steps to cope with everyday life, but to explore bigger issues that led me to a much deeper understanding of myself. Phoebe, with her characteristic subtlety and insightful questioning, made the difference for me between staying “stuck” and moving forward. By identifying and understanding my old traumas, habits and patterns I am now capable of moving forward in my life.
