I hope the above is useful.

I can’t thank Aileen enough for what she has done for our family.  My son had a gambling problem and was seriously obese.    Over a short course of sessions (8 approx) he was ready to go on a new path.  I had been trying for years to help him make good choices with very little effect.   Somehow Aileen enabled him to make these changes.  Six months later I have a happy healthy son. He has made substantial changes to his lifestyle , and has a new exciting job.   My son hasn’t gambled in nine months and is a healthy weight.   My whole family was consumed with worry a year ago.  What a difference getting the right counsellor for the right situation makes.  For us Aileen was 100% that person. 

When I first came to see Aileen I didn’t really know anything about CBT.  During the sessions I felt   much better, instantly knowing there was some logic behind how I was feeling and acting.   Once I completed CBT with Aileen I took on board what I had learnt and put it into practice.  I now consciously refer back to this learning in my day-to-day life.  It helps me deal with situations differently where helpful to do so.   CBT should be taught in schools it is so valuable.   Aileen was amazing and I thank her for her time and patience.

I would like to start by telling you how much Aileen has changed my life. I never believed that anybody would be interested in listening to my story but Aileen put me at ease straight away and showed that she cared. She taught me ways to deal with my anxiety whilst explaining why these worries of mine were persisting. Sessions were always personal and informative and helpful. Aileen hasn’t only helped me but family members too, who are equally grateful. I live a happier and more care free life and know how to deal with difficult emotions, and can embrace coping methods that ensure I am always bigger than my anxiety. This therapy was one of the best things I ever signed up to. Once again, thank you for all your support.

I saw Aileen within a week of my doctor’s referral and I was in a very low place and feeling helpless. Aileen was able to demonstrate methods for how I can regain control of my life and address the situations I struggled with. I saw Aileen for 10 sessions approx. and a few months later had a couple of “touch base” sessions scheduled a month apart. This enabled me to make some decisions on my own with a safety net of supportive review sessions which reassured me. I was able to come off anti-depressants that I had been taking for over a year and I am still going from strength to strength. The most important thing now is that I feel happy and hopeful and see a better future that I could not have previously imagined. I am grateful for the support and thank Aileen for her help.

At first, I was sceptical about speaking to Aileen but she made me feel very welcome and at ease. Aileen made a lot of sense. She helped me so much when I was at my lowest point and helped me through it. Now I am happy working at the hospital doing my dream job with this help from Aileen. Thank you very much you are an asset to the practice.

Really happy with the service I received from Aileen. She is a great person. I found her very knowledgeable and she really helped me to understand and address my anxiety issues. I would definitely see Aileen again if I needed support in the future.

I was referred to Aileen by my GP after seeking advice for anxiety. I have to say I found the sessions very useful. Aileen’s approach worked very well for me, using the whiteboard and pictorial information helped me process things better. It was like going on a training course and receiving one to one information, learning and support. I have used the tools Aileen has taught me and continue to put them into practice. I think CBT is an excellent therapy model for patients am very impressed with my experiences of it.
