Find out if therapy can help you. Reach out to me for an introductory consultation.
Firstly to thank you for all the incredible help over the last four weeks. I’ve learnt so much about myself and my behaviours in my sessions with you, and I leave with a lot of learnings and tools.
Thanks again Jackie, I will never be grateful enough to you,for your insight and support.
Wishing you a very Happy New year and thank you for being a major influence in reigniting my recovery , I really mean that.
Jackie, you were a massive part of my early recovery and a source of inspiration to this day.
I highly recommend Jackie in many ways as a professional, and also as a person- while dedicated to her work with deep seriousness her vibrant personality and, mindfully used by Jackie only when appropriate, wonderful sense humour makes Jackie a joy to be around
After many years, 30 plus in fact of crippling addiction, an addiction that escalated to many life-threatening experiences, I finally surrendered to the powerlessness of my situation and reached out for help.
I was incredibly fortunate to find Jackie. Jackie became my focal therapist in residential rehabilitation.
I spent many months under the care of a person who worked tirelessly to unravel my troubled mind.
To say that I am eternally grateful doesn’t begin to do justice to someone who literally kick-started the process of saving my own life.
I can’t recommend Jackie highly enough.
Four years of blissful sobriety later, I am living my best life now, and whilst it hasn’t always been easy, we do recover.
Please just ask for help as I did and you could also begin a fantastic new path with Jackie’s guidance
I saw Jackie under sufferance, as penance perhaps for a failed suicide attempt. Years of alcohol and medication abuse, chronic insomnia, anxiety and numerous other challenges from the psychotherapist handbook. I spent a year with her, once a week being guided to understand the events that made for such a chaotic and dysfunctional life. Once that was done, Jackie armed me with the tools to step forward and recognise the signs which would have me step back. I owe her more than perhaps modesty would have her realise. An outstanding counsellor who always knew when I was dodging the issue.
Thank you so very much for all of your hard work. You are an incredible therapist and an inspirational, exceptional and influential person.
Just wanted to say sorry I didn’t get to see you before you left. It was a real pleasure working with you. You have a great way of working with clients
Hopefully our paths will cross sometime best of luck in the future.
I was thinking about my time in therapy this morning and how strong and resolute I’ve become all with your help! II can’t believe how far I’ve come !
Thank you so much, I couldn’t have done this without you.
