“Margherita was very approachable and professional. We developed a good rapport in a short amount of time, I was able to bring up a few topics, the discussions were productive, and have helped me see things in different ways. Her support at a difficult time for me was invaluable. I appreciated her flexibility and warm approach. I would definitely recommend Margherita if you are looking for a safe space to talk.”
Testimonials
Mags supported me over one of the toughest times in my life, involved in a toxic relationship, I wanted to change patterns of a lifetime.
I went to see Mags having a history of becoming overwhelmed with courses and stressful positions in work that would develop into an anxious or depressed state. Therefore, I would quit these pressurised situations before completion, leading to further drop in self-esteem and a vicious circle situation. I was feeling overwhelmed again within further education and recognised I needed help to break the cycle for good in 2020.
Comparatively, with other therapists I have worked with I have never felt as held and understood as I did with Mags, I knew I had her unfaltering support always. I achieved the level 3 qualification going onto a degree, I had that sounding board I needed to cope with the hard times that couldn't be changed, and the toxic relationship ended with me having self-worth and starting to rebuild, rather than being left devastated. Our time together was a poignant time of rediscovering self, and she was implemental in this.
I wholeheartedly believe Mags gave me the confidence to believe in myself, surpassing my goals and changing my life. The person-centred approach works for me, and I feel that Mags embodies the ethos of empathic understanding, being a genuine person and staying non-judgmental. When I hit another bump in the road, she will be my first choice for a counsellor.
Thank you, Mags, for supporting me on my journey to be who I truly am."

“Mags really helped me to build my confidence in a range of work and social environments and understand the reasoning behind my fears. She guided me through dealing with my own emotions and helped me develop practical strategies for improving my mental health. She helped me with subjects I had never spoken about and made me feel relaxed and confident about tackling unknown feelings and scenarios. I found the combination of empathy and robust testing of my negative perceptions immensely helpful. It was a useful and positive experience, and I would highly recommend Mags.”

“I had a small amount of experience of counselling at university and was a little anxious before starting sessions again, but Mags put me at ease from the very first session. She’s an extremely warm and personable person, I honestly feel like I’ve known her for years and it’s been a matter of months. I was able to explore difficult experiences from my past without feeling at all judged. Working through these things have led me down a path of self-love and I can honestly say I am happier in every part of my life. I am so proud of myself for the work done on myself with the support of these counselling sessions. I also really appreciated the option of adhoc sessions when I felt able to step back from weekly sessions. I definitely recommend Mags for anyone seeking counselling sessions, especially if they’re a bit nervous as she is so lovely.”

“I went to have therapy with Margherita in November after experiencing issues of loneliness and despair after a long-term relationship breakup and isolation due to Covid lockdown. She was very friendly and easy to get on with straight away. Together, we managed to talk through my issues, get to the root of them and work out how to get past them. There was a lot that I needed to talk about and she was always very attentive to me, interjecting when needed and at the appropriate moment. I found it so easy to go through things with her, without any judgement. I am now much better and have become much more socially active, like I used to be. Her prices are excellent when compared to many other therapists. Thank you so much Mags!”
