"Tamsyn is amazing! ...We really can’t thank her enough. She is the perfect balance of relatable, approachable, empathetic and professional! We always walk out of each session learning something new and effective for our relationship and ourselves. We have seen so much growth within each other and our relationship, couldn’t recommend Tamsyn and her services enough to anybody!"
"Tamsyn is warm, funny, and insightful, and receiving counselling from her is one of the most important things I've done..."
"My partner and I started seeing Tamsyn to work through a collapse in our communication. Tamsyn has been amazing at creating a safe space for us to talk through the prickly bits, she’s incredibly knowledgeable and has efficiently paved a pathway & provided helpful tools for us to find a way back onto the same page. We very quickly warmed to Tamsyn because of her warmth, empathy and great sense of humour! Would definitely recommend her for couples and individuals."
"So pleased to have taken the leap to reach out... Tamsyn is extremely welcoming and understanding, and has provided me with lots of practical advice. A great person to bounce ideas off of or simply vent about whatever's on your mind, I'd recommend Tamsyn to anyone facing challenges in their life."

"Mary is FANTASTIC and I’ve found her incredibly helpful, compassionate and supportive. She has a very kind and warm nature which made her easy to talk to. Her input was always measured and I appreciate that she got me to try new techniques for stress and anxiety management, and to think about my situation in new ways. If you’re looking for a friendly face to help you through tough times I highly recommend Mary!"
"Mary is one of the best! I've been to many counsellors over the years but Mary has been the one that has been the best by far. Her interactions are so human and not only does she listen but also gives you strategies to help long term. The techniques Mary has shared with me in our sessions I use everyday and its improved my day to day so much. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a counsellor that they can connect with."
