Caitlin’s kindness and care is seemingly infinite and goes way beyond my expectations. The progress I’ve made also exceeds my expectations and the changes in me feel as though they will be lasting. Caitlin got to know me and how she needed to work with me quickly. Her skill and insight have helped me grow beyond what I thought was possible. Short term I always finish a session feeling lighter, less tense, like it’s ok to be where I am. Longer term I can observe changes happening in my ways of thinking and my behaviours. Jenny |
Caitlin’s kindness and care is seemingly infinite |
I have felt like a totally different person since my time with her; happier, calmer and more insightful than I could have imagined.” |
"I saw Caitlin regularly for a period of about 8 months. Initially I started seeing her for help getting over a traumatic experience that had deeply affected my life and relationships; I hoped that my time with her would allow me to process the event and move forward with my life. I had no idea of the true impact she would have on me.
I arrived as somewhat of a closed book but, over time, Caitlin showed me the safety, security, and most importantly, the trust I needed to bare more than I had expected. We carefully deconstructed my thoughts and behaviours; where they came from, how they served me and what I could do to overcome these patterns if necessary. She helped me understand deeply the way I interacted with myself and helped me develop ways in which I could gift myself the love and understanding I had resisted for so long. Through our conversations I was not only able to come to a deeper sense of acceptance within myself, but also with others and as such some of the more tenuous relationships I had with friends and family became calmer, kinder and more loving. In short, I came to Caitlin with one goal in mind - get over my trauma. Instead I left my time with her free of much of my trauma response behaviour, invaluable tools to use in moments of reactivity, anxiety and fear, as well as a new understanding and insight into the deepest parts of myself. I have felt like a totally different person since my time with her; happier, calmer and more insightful than I could have imagined. I can't ever thank her enough" Kate |
I no longer feel constantly anxious or low |
I have been working with Caitlin for more than a year now and it's been truly life changing. When we started I was struggling to get through a day, plagued with constant anxiety, feeling numb and I was blaming parts of my life which weren't the root of the problem. I felt lost, no longer like myself and I didn't know why.
After more than a year of working with Caitlin I have such a deeper understanding of myself and the negative psychological patterns I'd built up over the years. I no longer feel contantly anxious or low, and while I still have more to work through and process, I know I'm working with the right person on this journey. Caitlin is gentle and challenging and shifts effortlessly between them depending on what I'll need for that session. Caitlin has given me so many useful tools to use to help calm my anxiety and process my emotions in a healthy way. I'm learning to support, soothe and be there for myself now - something I wasn't able to do in the past when I really needed it - and it's game changing. Tom |
She listens with genuine care.” |
"I am so glad that I met Caitlin. I have been having weekly counselling sessions with her for 20 months now. She is so attentive and open. She listens with genuine care. She understands my perspective. I have shared things with Caitlin that I never thought I would share with anyone. She is a very skilled counsellor – she has so many attributes that make her excellent for the role. She is also quick to respond, flexible and consistent in her approach. Meeting Caitlin and working with her has been one of the best experiences of my life and I am so grateful to her for that. I feel very safe with Caitlin". Anna |
Through our sessions I learnt the skills to regain power over my life and to live the present." |
"My therapy sessions were nothing short of life changing and eye opening. I came to Caitlin carrying a load of someone I didn't like, didn't understand, and didn't know how to deal with. I came with trauma and a lot of unresolved history and feelings, and after the Beirut blast I felt like a dysfunctional machine.
Through our sessions I learnt the skills to regain power over my life and to live the present. With the right amount of work and effort I could reconnect with my feelings, with who I really am, and finally learnt to accept and love myself. Caitlin taught me valuable lessons that I will never forget. It was so easy to trust her. Caitlin is honest, she cares, she listens, she's a professional with so much wisdom, and most importantly she's compassionate. I could share my deepest thoughts and fears knowing l will never be judged. I can gladly say that today I have never felt more myself and more confident! " Celine |
Caitlin is an absolutely brilliant counsellor |
"Caitlin is an absolutely brilliant counsellor (and person). Warm, kind, open, supportive and challenging in just the right measures. I feel very lucky to have found her just as I started my journey with therapy and would recommend highly recommend her to anyone".

I've gone from an absolute therapy cynic to a complete therapy evangelist |
"I saw Caitlin for just over 12 months and it was truly one of the most self-affirming things I have ever undertaken.
I'd had to deal with a number of differing issues throughout my life and I knew things had reached a point in my life where I had to do something about it - but I didn't really know exactly what. As what is sadly sometimes common for men, I'd always approached the notion of "therapy" with cynicism or even contempt, but Caitlin was kind and patient, helpfully challenging me where needed and really making me question things where needed. I've gone from an absolute therapy cynic to a complete therapy evangelist. It's made me a happier person, helped me strengthen my family relationships and, above all, made me a better father. For that I will never stop being thankful". SM |

"I have only recently started working Caitlin but I wish I had started sooner. She is a wonderful counsellor and a wonderful person - she makes me feel so at ease but is also very straight-talking, which is exactly the kind of therapist I need! As much as it can be difficult to talk about some things I look forward to her sessions every week and I always come away feeling hopeful and positive with a new perspective. She has also given me some brilliant tools to help with my anxiety which are already having an impact.
An update: I have now been working with Caitlin for four months, which have been the most turbulent of my life dealing with a number of personal and family issues. She has been a rock to me during this time and I could not have got through it without my weekly sessions with her! She is also incredibly kind and has gone over and above to help me during a really difficult period of my life. I am so grateful to have started working with her when I did"! |

....she has completely changed my life.... |
"Caitlin and I started working together a year ago and she has completely changed my life. I arrived for my first session ashamed, scared confused and lost. I suffered a lot from anxiety, panic attacks, low self esteem, grief and trust issues. We worked together to figure out the route of the causes, why I was feeling the way I do, how I would manage the feelings and triggers going forward and to believe in myself and my self worth. Caitlin is an amazing person. She is warm, friendly, patient, caring, funny, understanding, intelligent, compassionate and really looks out for you and your best interests. I have learnt so much about myself, my mind and thought process and about life in general. Its been a tough but amazing journey and I couldn't have got through it without Caitlin. I cannot recommend this amazing lady enough....:)"
