Many years ago I had some counselling sessions with Janet . I had previously searched through therapists but didn’t have positive experience’s to be honest that was until Janet started working with me. She provided a safe non judgmental environment where I felt I could share my pain and feelings openly. Janet helped make sense of my past and allowed me to navigate things to a place of freedom, release and forgiveness. She helped up root the roots and not just treat the symptoms. I still apply her guidance to this day! I would encourage you to step out and trust her expertise, she’s such a gifted counsellor.

“Counselling helped me find my voice”
I cannot thank you enough. My sessions with you have changed my life and you have help me to find my voice.
Domestic Abuse
Janet created a safe and relaxed environment for me to talk. I really didn’t know what to expect, I just knew I needed help. She allowed me to take my time and helped me to think things through better. She did not let me skip the difficult parts, but helped me to come up with different ways to look at the issues. I specifically approached Janet as I knew she was a Christian and would give a Christian perspective. This helped enormously with her understanding of me and my feelings, which in turn helped us find a way forward. I would recommend Janet and would happily go back to her in future if I needed to.
Bereavement
On my final session with Janet, we looked back at the extensive mind map of fears and anxieties that I had created in my first session. When Janet asked, “Do you recognise her?” I was finally able to say “I don’t, but I remember her”. I think that perfectly encapsulates this journey. Janet’s support and prayer has helped to totally transform my mental health. I’ve been able to make peace with my bereavement in a way that I didn’t think would ever be possible, and my anxiety has changed entirely. The constant offer of help and the stream of coping mechanisms that she offered have been so invaluable, and I am so incredibly thankful. I always felt comfortable and safe to share, and couldn’t recommend her enough.
Bereavement & Anxieties
“Counselling is a safe space to share your innermost thoughts and feelings.”
My experience of counselling started when I had hit burnout and was incredibly anxious. I wasn’t able to help myself and someone recommended Janet and was incredibly grateful they did! From the start I felt comfortable and able to share exactly how I was feeling without judgement or question and allowed me for the first time in a while to truly express my feelings. Each session gave me the chance to reflect and understand much more about myself and why I felt the way I did and through this things began to change. Without Janet giving me the techniques to delve into what was going on I don’t think things would have got better as they since have done. Each session provided a platform for growth through Janet asking the right questions and helping me see things in new ways through these questions. Whilst at times I wanted answers, Janet only ever gave me questions for me to reflect upon rather than telling me what to or how to think and this has helped me grow in confidence in what I stand for. I continue to receive counselling from Janet as she helps me grow and learn more about the past things that affect how I think now. I couldn’t recommend Janet more highly to anyone thinking about getting counselling; it has been one of the best things I ever did and would recommend anyone to do the same!
Burnout
“I know counselling was very hard for me in the beginning, but thank you for persevering with me to the end”
When my husband walked out, much to everyone’s surprise, after over 20 years of marriage I was determined not to be left an emotional cripple. A possibility I saw all too clearly. I found Janet. She was gentle, careful but thorough. Asides dropped into conversation she stored away until she felt I was able to deal with that aspect of the situation. The content, able, positive person I am now owes much to Janet and her skill.
Marriage Breakdown
I am not the type to do reviews, however, for Janet Graham I’ll happily make an exception. Janet has helped me massively, not only is she an excellent counsellor she also has an abundance of helpful wisdom and insights. She has treated me incredibly kindly and helped me view life, and all the ups and downs, through a new lens.
Anxiety & Depression
Janet, Thank you for your support in my counselling sessions. You’ve guided and supported me to wholeness.
Sexual Abuse
I appreciate you being a part of my life journey so much. You met me where I was at and helped make sense of so many things. I will always remember you and be forever grateful.
