Following a particularly traumatic event through my professional work environment, I spent time with Ros to try and resolve some of the issues and to try and understand how and why I was feeling the way I was.

Ros gained my trust in the very first session by displaying a fantastic level of empathy with the situations I described. Experiencing PTS is a worrying and upsetting time. I found that I was helped most by the use of EMDR advanced techniques that Ros is qualified to discharge. This process was the most powerful one I have experienced and assisted the most with my healing journey. It is this that I would recommend most to any emergency services personnel or first responders/medical persons.

Ros helped me to understand why and how I was feeling the way I was, she provided graphical representations which helped with the learning process.

Writing this testimonial now, is only something I could undertake after I have had time to heal and reflect. I will always be thankful to Ros for the support she personally provided to me. The continued use of the mechanisms of handling situations and stress as well as personal resilience are what have enabled me to write this review.

If you are struggling with post-traumatic stress or are struggling with a particularly traumatic event, then I recommend Ros to you.

"Six months ago, I was at my lowest point and couldn’t see a way out. I hesitantly booked an appointment to see Ros. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but what I found was a warm, caring and compassionate person who I felt completely at ease with.

Over the sessions, Ros helped me to unpick my problems and has given me the strength to face the challenges life throws at me. I can honestly say booking an appointment with Ros was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made."

"You have tried to show me the light at the end of the tunnel when all I could see was darkness and by some miracle, the light is beginning to come through. Thank you so much. "

Helen

"Back in November, I was in a very dark place. I even considered taking my own life as I could see no point in carrying on; Thank goodness I didn’t do it. Instead I called Ros. This was the best move I ever made. Ros made it easy for me to discuss things about my life and helped me put things into perspective.

I can honestly say thanks to Ros I’m better. I truly don’t know where I’d be now if it hadn’t contacted her."

Debbie

"Being able to accept that I had depression was the hardest thing I ever had to admit and I felt ashamed. Well I know now there is no shame in having depression and, through taking with Ros, I found the way out of that deep dark place I was in."

Paul

"Since seeing Ros I have started to look at my life differently and to change aspects of my life to make it better for myself. My life is changing for the better due to facing up to my depression and Ros has helped me became more aware of where I possibly needed to change.

Thanks will never be enough for all the help Ros has given me, she has given me back my life in my eyes. "
