"Gaynor listens and gives neutral advice. She does not "take sides" and helps you work through your own thoughts and feelings without telling you what is either right or wrong. I found her easy to talk and listen to. She helped me to rationalise the negative issues I was having about my relationship. I did not realise how much my past had impacted my current life and attitudes. At our last meeting I was ready to move on as I no longer felt the same way as I did. I have gone from being an anxious blubbering mess, to a happy, vibrant, positive person, who is ready to take on the world. It's great to have "me" back again! I would recommend Gaynor to anyone. If you are feeling unsure about getting help, please consider therapy. Yes it can be expensive, but the help far outweighs the cost. I am so glad that I found this website. Gaynor, thank you for listening, making me feel positive again and finding the real me! x."
