Myself & my husband started working with Cathy when we were at what we considered at the time to be breaking point within our marriage. It was a big step for us to reach out & admit that we needed help & it was after a long time of sweeping lots of issues under the carpet.
From the moment we met Cathy she was very professional & clear but also friendly. She set the boundaries that we would work to out clearly & whilst being very honest and not afraid to ask difficult questions also has a soft way about her that makes you feel like you are in a safe place to be honest and vulnerable.
She was able to identify and helped us to identify some key things in our marriage that were causing us conflict. She helped us to take a deeper look at things & for the first time in a long time I felt like I was relating to my husband in a way that I hadn’t perhaps ever! Whilst the sessions & the work is hard & sometimes painful, we both began to look forward to our sessions as it was a time we could be truly honest & listen to each other which in truth we hadn’t done in a long time.
On a personal note Cathy helped me to realise a lot of things about myself & the work that she does with you inside the sessions is only the start of it. We went from feeling embarrassment and a little shame about seeing a counsellor to realising that this was one of the best things that we had ever done for our marriage. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cathy and have come to realise the value that counselling, marriage or otherwise can really bring.
