"I came to ensure I got through my course without total meltdown which I have! I found this to be the first series of sessions with someone where I was totally honest (even about my propensity to lie) and therefore made much more progress. Thank you!"
"Laura (Humphrey) has been a wonderful help to me. Very insightful, supportive and encouraging. Thank you very much. I would strongly recommend her as a counsellor."
"Can't believe the amount of differences the sessions have made. At first it was just friends who noticed but now I can tell myself and have more confidence in most things. My counsellor was brilliant and always had time to hear my problems."
"I was able to talk about my issues and make changes to my life to help me cope. Talking to someone really helps quiet down your thoughts and feelings too. I have been able to adapt back into reality and live."
"Laura was great, understood me and my personality, she was a great sense check for my journey to sanity."
"The personal approach ie Lucy interviewing me to ensure the most appropriate counsellor was assigned, was very effective and contributed significantly to the outcome. The sessions never felt negative, despite what I was dealing with, and the overall approach used by Jack was very well paced for my needs and I now feel able to move on positively."
"My life has been transformed with all the support from Laura (Humphrey). I am excited about what lies ahead."
"I feel happy with my counselling. It helped me a lot. I feel much better since I came here."
"I have found the sessions really useful and felt I have learnt a lot about myself and coping mechanisms. Sam (Bosworth) has been a wonderful therapist. Thank you."
"Karen (Smith) has been amazing, I never thought I'd be in the place I'm in now. I'm now excited for life and my future! Thank you!"
"After going to several group counselling sessions in the past I didn't have much faith in counselling. Since coming to Green Lane Counselling I have resolved a range of issues and learnt coping mechanisms in case of future problems. I would encourage anyone to come to Green Lane Counselling as they are professional, friendly and will help guide you through your problems."
"Karen (Smith) has helped me to identify the overriding issues caused by pressure at work, and the effect that is having on my health, mental and physical. She has enabled me to make changes that are helping me to overcome these problems. I would like to thank her for all her help"
"Thank you Lucy for going on a journey with us. Your patience and understanding was hugely valued and the process of having a witness who listens and empathises was needed and beneficial."
"At the age of 52 I had accumulated 'stuff' from my life experiences that was getting in the way of living a happy and fulfilling life. Green Lane was recommended to me and after a year of working with Lucy I have a much better understanding of where my 'stuff' came from and the unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving that had arisen as a result. Over the months we looked at the beliefs I held about myself and began to gather evidence from others that brought a different perspective. This was illuminating and powerful in bringing a shift in how I saw myself. I feel better equipped to understand myself now and have, thanks to Lucy, some strategies that I can put into practice in times of need. I have accessed counselling and cognitive behaviour therapy from different services previously and can reflect that Green Lane has been of the greatest value to me. Thank you Lucy."
"Thanks so much to Green Lane Counselling and Gemma especially for her support and kindness my sessions have been so useful and have really helped me come out of my shell and gain confidence in all aspects of my life!"
"Sessions helped to identify root causes of anxiety and lack of self-esteem. Ways forward to improve and address these positively were discussed."
"I have found the experience of counselling at Green Lane to be hugely beneficial. Sam (Bosworth) has been a truly fantastic counsellor who has really helped me with my issues. I think it has made a huge difference to my life and I can't thank you enough."
"Jack helped me realise what my issues were and helped me deal with them. Lucy was great trying to get me extra support."
"It has been a great service, I felt listened to and heard. I would strongly recommend this service to other people. It has been great to be able to talk about me and in an environment that has been so welcoming. Thank you."
"I have found my counselling sessions helpful. I feel the practice is very professional, I would recommend other people to come here. I found the fees to be affordable."
"We feel that the couples counselling has helped us a great deal and we have come together more as a couple."
"I've come a long way. Sam (Bosworth) has been amazing. I could not have wished for a better counsellor. I am in a much better place now. Thank you for everything."
"Rob (Hines) is fantastic and very understanding of various situations regarding work and home life balance."
"The help and support I have received have been invaluable. I felt listened to and not judged. Laura (Humphrey) got me and I felt able to open up very quickly."
"I was completely new to this process and everyone really helped make the process easy and comfortable. Robert is a very calm person who makes the whole process easy. I would recommend him and Green Lane to anyone who asked."
"My counselling has been really effective for me to help me move on. I have been able to reflect on how my past experiences have impacted on my adult life and I am now able to accept myself more as an adult as I was before. I am also able to manage my daily anxieties better on my own and this has had a really positive impact on my life. Thank you."
"Sam (Bosworth) really helped me greatly. I feel ready to face the world. I'm optimistic!"
"I have found the sessions valuable in that they have given me the time and space to talk, reflect and find different ways of looking at/handling behaviours and situations."
"I enjoyed it because I had someone to talk to about my issues and I liked Jack, he is very nice and listened to what you want to say. I have enjoyed it and will benefit a lot afterwards because I will think what Jack has said to me. Thank you Jack."
"The counselling sessions with Sandra were very useful in opening communication. And I found Sandra to be a good listener and empathetic. She made me comfortable to share my thoughts and feelings and was always non-judgmental. Counselling helped me to think about my situation more and reflect on my thoughts, feelings and plans for the future. I cannot think of any way that sessions could be improved. Very grateful to Sandra, thank you."
"Jack's approach to my counselling has been very very good. I feel much better than before, and more able to tackle the stresses and strains of life now. Green Lane is an excellent venue and the flexibility and warmth I have received have helped me immensely. Many thanks."
"Came in feeling hopeless and traumatised. Came out feeling optimistic and less pain."
"I am very glad I took the step to contact Green Lane. It has been an interesting and beneficial process. Karen (Smith) has been wonderful."
"I was unsure of what results I would gain from counselling as I was under time restraints. However with only a few sessions I have seen so much improvement in my happiness. I feel ready to face any problems that may come my way with the tools I have gained from counselling"
"My counsellor helped me clarify my core problematic belief I had held all my life, which had lead to many triggers and many vicious circles in my thought patterns. Now I feel more clear and able to stop myself from thinking so negatively about myself, and feel optimistic I will be able to achieve what I want from life."
"I felt that my problems were taken seriously without judgement and they matched a counsellor that was right for me. I have greatly benefitted from this therapy and finally feel like myself. I can also handle my anxiety and my problems better and I know a lot more about my 'actual' self and know when I am struggling."
"Karen (Smith) was understanding and let me take the sessions at my own pace. I am very comfortable with Karen and would have no hesitation in seeing her should I need to in the future. I felt I was matched extremely well and felt comfortable and at ease. For me Karen was my tonic."
“Coming here has made a huge difference. My initial phone call to ascertain my needs and place me with a relevant counsellor was great, I feel that my journey couldn’t have gone much better. Thanks to Ruth who has been amazing and I can’t describe how much better I feel about myself and my situation.” (Ruth Holland)
“The sessions with Neha have helped me a lot to work through difficult memories, emotions and behaviours. I have learned good coping techniques and Neha has helped me to shift my perspective in a positive way. I am very grateful for her support.’ (Neha Giri)
“Ruth has helped me come on in so many ways. She’s helped me to be the person I’ve wanted to be & what other things I can do in the future. I’m a stronger & more important person to myself and in my mental health than before I came here.” (Ruth Holland)
“Thank you! I have really felt the change and have gained so much confidence in my ability to have my OWN life.” (Shekha Fathima)
I’ve had such a negative experience in the past with the NHS and their counselling services. Coming to Green Lane and having Danielle help me throughout these 6-ish months has been the best road to finally getting my life back. She validated me and supported me but also caught me out when needed. (Danielle Jeffs)
Simon has been absolutely superb. Brilliant. (Simon Lowe)
I cannot thank Saindhavi enough for her warmth and support these past eight months. I’ll see you guys very soon! (Saindhavi Venugopal)
Karen helped me achieve my aims/goals over the duration of our sessions together. She listened to me and communicated effectively. (Karen Chamberlain).
Simon has certainly helped me to turn my life back into a positive direction and I am overly grateful for this. (Simon Lowe)
I have 100% benefitted from therapy. Aman has helped me look at situations differently. I have always been very opinionated about my view of therapy and did not believe it worked but I cannot thank Aman enough for being patient and explaining things to me without patronising me. I felt understood and heard. It helped me take ownership and responsibility for my actions and has also helped my relationship with others. I have more compassion towards myself now and am thinking about what I really want and need. (Aman Johal)
Really enjoyed therapy with Aman. Had therapy before but did not connect to sessions in the same way. Found the experience created much more security this time around. Aman always made me feel safe and enabled me to open up more than I ever have done before. Helped me to understand myself and my reactions better. I am now able to pause and reflect rather than react straight away in life. Thank you for all the support. (Aman Johal)
Sessions with Emily have really helped me with my anxiety and grief. It’s given me coping strategies to enable me to manage my anxiety. (Emily Goyal)
Thank you for everything, you have really helped me grow into a better me. Kellie is amazing, and made me feel so understood and helped me through everything. (Kellie Thomas)
Rushali is a brilliant therapist - listens, is extremely wise and shows care in helping! Brilliant throughout, and I felt happy opening up and talking through my issues. Great therapy (Rushali Srivastava)
Rushali has helped me a lot during the last 26 weeks. She’s seen me through my highs and lows and helped me feel better in myself. Although I struggled at first to see the point in therapy, I have now found it beneficial to help me succeed. Thank you. (Rushali Srivastava)
Since starting therapy, I have seen huge growth in my personal life and personality. I feel that having worked with Rushali has really allowed me to become stronger and tackle challenges ahead as well as present ongoing trauma. Rushali has helped me get through the biggest traumatising experience I have had so far and I have learnt to manage this as well as improve and develop as an individual. (Rushali Srivastava)
I had a really good rapport with Aman. I am aware it can be hard to click with therapy sometimes but when my dad was in hospital I found Aman to be a complete pillar of support. I don’t think I would have got through that time without her. I am so grateful for everything. I am not sure my therapy journey is fully done but due to financial constraints, I will try to work on myself first to see if that helps. If in need of therapy in the future I will 100% use Green Lane. (Aman Johal)
Darren has been fantastic, since coming for the first time I haven’t gambled and feel better than ever. He made me feel comfortable and safe to talk about my problem gambling. Thank you, Darren. (Darren Hall)
Ruth has been amazing. Since I started my sessions I have gained more of an understanding about my concerns, and I now have a lot more confidence, and new ways to break down the things that may trigger me again. Ruth was very understanding, listened, and had a great outlook and positivity that made the sessions enjoyable, but allowed me to speak freely. Thanks again, Ruth. (Ruth Holland)
I felt very supported, having never had any experience I was unsure what to expect. There were issues I hadn’t even realised were affecting me and my ability to cope. With the advice and support given I feel I have a stronger chance of overcoming all the issues highlighted. Overall much more positive to move in the right direction… Thank you for helping me. (Charlotte Vickers)
Anna was always lovely, sweet and kind. I also really enjoyed the kinetic sand and never felt judged. (Anna Douglas)
Karen has been inspirational and been a positive support around helping me to deal with issues. I feel that I have now have closure on certain aspects of life that I struggled with. I am also aware that the door is always open should I feel that I need additional support.(Karen Chamberlain)
I have nothing but praise for the service I received. In fact I don’t know how I would have navigated the last months without it. Laura has been fantastic. I’m reluctant to give up my sessions and have only done so because I now have an NHS therapist that I’ve waited seven years for. (Laura Atkins)
Robert was excellent with understanding my issues and was patient and we were able to resolve long standing problems. I have a lot more optimism for the future and I would be happy to visit Robert again. (Robert Hines)
Therapy supported me greatly. I feel I am very different to how I was when I first began. Having the space to talk openly enabled clarity. I always felt listened to. I felt safe. It helped provide an insight into my own thoughts and reactions. I felt validated with my feelings and very much valued being heard. I always looked forward to my therapy sessions. I will miss my weekly appointments and am very grateful to Aman. (Aman Johal)
Best thing I did was come here. I felt very well-matched with Charlotte. Put me at ease straight away. Thank you. (Charlotte Short)
I have loved my time with Ruth exploring myself and learning to know my feelings & acknowledge them with sincerity & understanding. I also have acknowledged that accepting help has been useful & nothing to be ashamed of. (Ruth Holland)
Ruth was, for me, the right combination of empathetic and challenging. Through my sessions with Ruth I addressed the underlying issue that I was not prioritising myself in my own life. The difference that this understanding and change in my behaviour has made to me is untold. Please tell Ruth I am now totally happy in a full and loving relationship. With many thanks to Ruth and all at Green Lane. (Ruth Holland)
Very helpful, felt listened to from the first session and felt support, safe to be myself, and discover my core being again. Thank you Ruth; IT WAS GREAT and I’ll miss the weekly interaction. (Ruth Holland)
Neha made a difficult time filled with hardship and a lack of personal clarity something much easier to handle. This allowed me to take a closer look inwards to resolve of my internal struggles. I’m glad that my serious attempt at counselling a warm and kind experience. Many thanks! (Neha Giri)
With Marlon’s guidance I have learnt a lot about myself and how I process things. He had shown me methods to manage things that troubled me. In the past I have had therapists who left me feeling l can’t be helped but Marlon has helped me feel less of a burden to the world and shown me that I can be helped and have been with these sessions. (Marlon Blair)
Very grateful to Cat(herine) for helping me to feel comfortable enough to talk through my thoughts and feelings. I feel so much better after 6 sessions with her. She’s really made a difference. (Catherine Chapman)
Halinka provided me with very professional and empathic counselling over 7 sessions. I felt these were helpful in working through my personal issues. (Halinka Hepworth)
No negatives to my therapy experience. Always been very positive. I knew I could rely on Aman and she was always there for me to talk to. If I was troubled, I felt reassured that I had therapy sessions to bring my troubles to, where we would discuss and process my feelings about any situation. It was always in my diary and that made the world of difference to me. I felt supported and felt I wasn't alone with my problems. I was never let down by Aman. She would always listen with a kind tone and allow me the space to share openly. I felt a human connection, as though I wasn't just a patient but an actual person. I felt I built a strong therapeutic bond. I am extraordinarily grateful for Aman and the service Green Lane provide people at an affordable rate when so many people are struggling and need someone to talk to. I feel I am in much more control of my life. Life situations now cause me much less stress and I am able to reframe: and problem solve much better. I am looking forward to so many things in life now and have a greater sense of freedom. I know l am not in control of everything that occurs in life but I also know I'll be ok, I'll be able to cope. (Aman Johal)
I can honestly say Saindhavi was absolutely amazing, made me feel so comfortable from day one. I found her very easy to open up to. She is an excellent counsellor thank you for everything. (Saindhavi Venugopal)
Ruth has been absolutely amazing. I have felt safe and feel like I have made great progress in the year and couldn’t be more grateful for the support. (Ruth Holland)
I have always struggled with acknowledging my issues with people in my life. Therapy has been crucial in aiding me overcoming this issue. My sessions with Simon have been immense in helping me through the worst period of my life and I will always be grateful for the work he has done with me, it’s been quite the ride. (Simon Lowe)
Karimot is an empathetic and friendly counsellor. She provided a safe space for me to share my feelings and troubles and helped me by allowing me to become more self-aware and confident as well as being kinder to myself. Thank you!! (Karimot Badmus)
I can’t thank Ian enough for making me feel comfortable and helping me through a tough time. I will always be grateful. (Ian Hewitt)
My sessions with Kate have been very beneficial. There has been a significant difference in my mindset and how I’m feeling thanks to Kate’s advice and techniques. Green Lane were quick to arrange counselling for me as soon as I signed up. I would recommend Green Lane and Kate to anyone who needs help. (Kate Hicks)
I appreciated that I was always seen promptly and I really progressed in terms of processing my grief and feeling supported. I would recommend this practice to anyone facing difficult times. My counsellor was excellent. (Kate Hicks)
Kate has been very kind and understanding. I feel she has helped me make significant improvements in my life. (Kate Hicks)
My therapist has done a brilliant job - really really great. I have felt life has completely changed since I came to therapy. I could not have got this far without it. Aman has been so helpful and provided fantastic support. I am able to support myself by implementing boundaries, engaging in self-care, reframing my thoughts and being kinder to myself. I am aware of my threat state and when I need to regulate which makes me calmer and happier overall. (Aman Johal)
Excellent Service. Been an amazing part of my journey and think Ian is an amazing person & sad for now the sessions have had to stop. Thank you for everything. (Ian Hewitt)
Rushali has been excellent, I had very little expectation of an improved state of mind when I first came, but felt sure after even the first session that I was in good hands. The improvement I feel exceeds anything I could have hoped for, thank you. (Rushali Srivastava)
Therapy has been amazing, cannot thank you enough. The space was created for me to be honest and open. It allowed me to discuss the guilt I felt. I thought therapy would be passive but it changed my perspective and challenged me. Helped take the blinkers off. I am so proud of the change I see in myself and the difference in me. I feel more equipped to deal with difficult situations. I will take forward the techniques to support self, looking after and prioritising self and the bigger holistic picture. (Aman Johal)
I have built a very good relationship with Aman and felt supported and listened to all the way. This was so rewarding and refreshing to see in human nature. I am thankful to her for making it feel so comfortable. She always showed empathy and I felt understood. My therapy has been a very freeing and supportive experience and I would honestly recommend it to anyone and I have already done so at work. There was no fear of judgement. I felt as though I had an arm around the shoulder when addressing my difficulties. It helped me reframe my situation and make positive plans for my future. It has been so helpful to talk things through and also allowed me to be vulnerable. I wish I had this experience some time ago. (Aman Johal)
Good experience at Green Lane. Karen was friendly and helped me feel comfortable, making me feel able to get support after a bad experience elsewhere. Thank you. (Karen Chamberlain)
I think Rushali has massively helped me to be more self-reflective and rationalise why I’m feeling how I’m feeling and what actions I can take to better understand myself. I’ve really benefited from her openness and felt valued and understood in my sessions, even when I bounce between a lot of different topics. I can’t recommend Rushali & Green Lane enough, I really appreciate all of your help and support. (Rushali Srivastava)
Very sympathetic and helpful, Kellie really helped me manage my emotions and showed real care. (Kellie Thomas)
Couples sessions have been really beneficial and helped me to resolve our issues. Sandra has been professional and supportive to both our needs. The counselling rooms were comfortable and felt like a safe space. Thank you. (Sandra Hussey)
I have totally benefitted from counselling sessions with Ruth. Ruth is an amazing counsellor. I have felt totally at ease and I am so glad that Ruth has helped me on my journey. (Ruth Holland)
Therapy has provided me with a greater awareness of myself and also the support network around me. I feel more balanced now and have been able to let down my barriers. I realise I can ask for help and do not have to rely on myself only. Without counselling, I would not have been in the same mindset. All my life I’ve always thought things were my fault - I realise this is not so and I can say NO to people now. I am able to challenge negative thoughts. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aman to anyone struggling. She has been very supportive and helped me greatly. (Aman Johal)
Very amazing experience with Kellie. Kellie was always welcoming in our sessions and helped me to process a lot of trauma. I found my counselling experience very helpful and comfortable. (Kellie Thomas)
My counsellor made me feel very at ease and comfortable and I felt that I could talk about all the things bothering me. My sessions have been very helpful and I will take all of the lessons I have learnt with me through life. Thank you! (Emma Slusarenko)
Whoever did my initial assessment was so thorough and patient. And every single session has helped me. Thank you. (Danielle Jeffs)
Overall very happy with my experience with Green Lane Counselling. (Rushali Srivastava)
Sam is a great person and helped me understand myself more than I thought. (Sam Bosworth)
I found therapy sessions very personable. They were adapted to me and how my head works. I had therapy before and had given up after 4/5 sessions - this felt much better than my previous experience. I felt validated without any pressure. I learnt to sit with my feelings and get comfortable with the uncomfortable. I learnt to accept myself and situations. Sessions felt formal but not too formal - just right for me. Nice to have someone to explain emotions and who helped me understand the why behind things! (Aman Johal).
Letting it all out and talking about it really helped resolve and calm my issues/anxiety. (Darren Hall)
Luke was great- it has been so helpful to see someone for a while and build a really understanding relationship. (Luke Hicken)
Josh has enabled me to open up and speak honestly about my issues and address the root cause in order to reach a place of acceptance. The environment he provided and facilitates has been fundamental to my progression. My only comment on the service was that I had some issues arranging my first appointment and fixing timing which could have pushed me away from accessing the service. (Josh Gahonia)
Green Lane has been fantastic for my overall mental wellbeing. Josh has taken a full listening approach, which has allowed me to delve into issues that I haven’t dealt with for over 20 years and they now feel resolved. (Josh Gahonia)
My therapist has done a brilliant job-really really great. I have felt life has completely changed since I came to therapy. I could not have got this far without it. Aman has been so helpful and provided fantastic support. I am able to support myself by implementing boundaries, engaging in self-care, reframing my thoughts and being kinder to myself. I am aware of my threat state and when I need to regulate, which makes me calmer and happier overall. (Aman Johal)
Feel therapy has helped me greatly. It was most definitely needed. I have grown in the last 12 months and I now recognise the difference. Other people also comment on the positive changes. I now understand my feelings where before I let my thoughts control me. I feel more free now. Therapy has helped me work on myself and also get to know myself. I am now prioritising and advocating for self. I respect myself and feel calmer from engaging in therapy. (Aman Johal).
Counselling has been life changing for me. I feel like I am a much improved person, I have the tools I need for when life is hard. I feel like I know who I am and have confidence in myself.
This has been such a wonderful (if at times hard) experience. Amy has been the perfect fit for me to navigate the challenges I’m facing. I really love her warm and open approach and that she brings frameworks that we can adapt to my needs. I’m walking away feeling I have new tools to cope (Amy Ruiters)
Therapy really helped me to understand myself and to learn to feel emotions but also deal with them. I managed to open up, which I don’t usually do, about a lot of stuff that only people really close to me know. I think I’ve grown and matured during these sessions and I am very grateful! (Amy Ruiters)
Kellie was very helpful and was amazing. Thank you! She has made me feel better. (Kellie Thomas)
Green Lane helped me open up and understand myself more! I felt safe and listened to in all of my sessions. Danielle is very understanding and has helped improve my mental health massively. (Danielle Jeffs)
Thank you 😊 I liked that there was a plan for each session (what we were going to discuss etc). I did not feel pressured into having not enough/ too many sessions. Each room is warm and comfortable. (Emma Engstrom).
The sessions helped me very much. I truly do not know how I would have managed with my issues if not for the sessions. I felt listened to, I felt safe and I feel I know myself much better now. (Halinka Hepworth)
The counselling has been a great help. We have felt supported and heard and the sessions have really been tailored to what we have needed. It has felt relaxed and comfortable to talk openly. Thank you. (Charlotte Vickers).
Vala was incredibly helpful, I have accomplished so much through these sessions and the changes I have seen in myself (for the better) are something that continues to astound me. (Vala Ghabousi)
Halinka has supported me to make an almost total lifestyle change and all I can say is I feel much better and free from many of my issues. Big thank you Halinka. (Halinka Hepworth)
Incredibly good and active listener, adapting and adjusting sessions to relevant topics. Focus on strategies to enable long term health and stability. Fantastic knowledge base and application. (Vala Ghabousi)
Emma (Engstrom) helped me through the toughest years of my life profession and affectively, sometimes being my only person to talk to and her wisdom and help has been life changing. Thank you.
The process of initially getting an appointment was quick and easy. The lady who did my phone assessment was very understanding and easy to talk to. Any dealings I’ve had with Lucy have been excellent, she is clearly very organised. I’ve found Danielle very easy to get along with and easy to talk to. She is super friendly and really made me feel listened to and that it was safe for me to talk and not be judged. She is very understanding and clearly great at what she does as I feel I have gained a lot of insight through our sessions and have made progress since my first appointment when I was initially feeling very low. I now feel excited and positive for the future. Thank you!! (Danielle Jeffs)
The sessions with Ananya were very productive and useful for me to reflect and explore core beliefs, and gave me tools/skills to resolve my issues. I felt very safe and comfortable in the sessions to share with her my issues, and if anything ever became overwhelming at any point, she did a fantastic job at handling the situation. I feel that I have successfully worked through and resolved my issues with the help of the wonderful staff at Green Lane. (Ananya Khanna)
Really happy with the service, and surprised that it did not take as many sessions as I’d thought to be in a place where I ran out of things to talk about. Would recommend to everyone. (Darren Hall)
Excellent counsellor. Unphased by awkward content and always professional. Would recommend to others in a heartbeat. (Emma Engstrom).
Genuinely one of the best things I’ve done for myself. I can’t thank Rushali enough for her patience, understanding, help and kindness throughout my (nearly) 2 years with her. I can safely say I’m a better person now with the help from Rushali. You’ll never know how much I appreciate it. Thank you so much. (Rushali Srivastava)
Emma has been fantastic and a real comfort in my life the past few years. She has helped me to work through a range of issues and negative thoughts + experiences. I really appreciate all she has done for me. Thank you. (Emma Engstrom)
Thank you for helping me through some very difficult times in my life. My therapy experience has been amazing. I have taken so much from our sessions. I have been able to be myself and process my experiences. There is a lot I now use outside of therapy. I have more self awareness, more compassion for my needs, am able to challenge negative thoughts and look for evidence, am able to focus on my intention when guilt comes in and I can reflect on feelings and implement boundaries. I will be coming back in sept/oct time as enjoyed it so much-really helpful. (Aman Johal)
I really appreciated having the same appointment slot every week. I also really found it helpful that I wasn’t forced to try and rush through my issues in 8 sessions - Josh took the time to get to know me and understand what I was going through, what approaches work for me, and made me feel like it was a genuine collaboration, rather than something being done to me. (Josh Gahonia)
Rushali is the best therapist ever 😊 11/10!! Staff are super friendly 😊 Very warm inside in winter 😊 and cool in summer 😊 Thank you for letting me sit 40 minutes early in the waiting room because of the time I finished college and because it’s cold outside 😊 (Rushali Srivastava)
Sandra helped me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. (Sandra Hussey)
Emily really helped me, she was calm and willing to talk through every aspect of my issues. I never felt like my issues were small or silly although sometimes they were. I too left with a different perspective of dealing with situations and to prioritise actions to help me now and in the future. (Emily Goyal)
Danielle has been incredibly helpful during our sessions and I feel like I can go forward being happier and mentally healthy. Thank you. (Danielle Jeffs)
Simon has been a wonderful friend and mentor, guarding me on this journey with patience and kindness. I wish everyone had someone like Simon to turn to. (Simon Lowe)
Definitely a positive experience for me. Therapy has made me feel positive about myself. I have moved towards being more accepting of me and not judging myself. I would absolutely recommend counselling to other people - it's something everyone should do. I got on really well with my therapist, Aman. She made it very easy to open up to and I felt very comfortable talking to her from the start. It was brilliant and nice to have someone to talk to and not be judged. Just to release. Aman knew her stuff and was helpful at explaining. (Aman Johal)
Ruth has been fantastic, balancing my oft-times immediate need to talk about my week with guiding me through the deeper exploration I came for. (Ruth Holland)
Counselling has made me a much happier, calmer person, and has helped me in all aspects of my life by providing me a safe place to speak. Thank you! (Emily Goyal)
Ruth has been absolutely amazing. I have felt safe and supported and feel like I have made great progress in the year and couldn’t be more grateful for the support. (Ruth Holland)
I have always struggled acknowledging my issues with people in my life. Therapy has been crucial in aiding me overcoming this issue. My sessions with Simon have been immense in helping me through the won’t period of my life and I will always be grateful for the work he has done with me, it’s been quite the ride. (Simon Lowe)
It’s been very helpful in finding a way through the difficulties I have faced. Thank you so much. (Kate Hicks)
I cannot thank Ian enough for making me feel comfortable and helping me through a tough time. I will always be grateful.
Karimot is an empathetic and friendly counsellor. She provided a safe space for me to share my feelings and troubles and helped me by allowing me to become more self-aware and confident as well as being kinder to myself. Thank you!!! (Karimot Badmus)
Josh is cool, I hope I can find another therapist as good as him in the future. (Josh Gahonia)
My sessions with Kate have been very beneficial. There has been a significant difference in my mindset and how I’m feeling thanks to Kate’s advice and techniques. Green Lane were quick to arrange counselling for me as soon as I signed up. I would recommend Green Lane and Kate to anyone who needs help. (Kate Hicks)
I appreciated that I was always seen promptly, and I really progressed in terms of processing my grief and feeling supported. I would recommend this practice to anyone facing difficult times. My counsellor was excellent. (Emily Goyal)
No negatives to my therapy experience. Always been very positive. I knew I could rely on Aman and she was always there for me to talk to. If I was troubled, I felt reassured that I had therapy sessions to bring my troubles to, where we would discuss and process my feelings about any situation. It was always in my diary and that made the world of difference to me. I felt supported and felt I wasn’t alone with my problems. I was never let down by Aman. She would always listen with a kind tone and allow me the space to share openly. I felt a human connection, as though I wasn’t just a patient but an actual person. I felt I built a strong therapeutic bond. I am extraordinarily grateful for Aman and the service Green Lane provide people at an affordable rate when so many people are struggling and need someone to talk to. I feel I am much more in control of my life. Life situations now cause me much less stress and I am able to reframe and problem solve much better. I am looking forward to so many things in life now and have a greater sense of freedom. I know I am not in control of everything that occurs in life but I also know I’ll be ok, I’ll be able to cope. (Aman Johal)
Amazing service! Ruth is fantastic and has helped me understand myself more! Thank you Ruth. (Ruth Holland)
I believe counselling with Shelly has helped me move forward in my life in a positive way. I’m so grateful. Thank you so much. If I ever need help again, I will come back to Green Lane. (Shelly Walker)
Really catered to my needs. Always felt relief afterwards. Able to trust therapist. I would personally ask for the same therapist again. Useful for own learning to use therapy work. Learnt a lot about myself and feel very different to when I started. Able to look at situations differently. (Aman Johal)
Simon was fantastic and deserves all the praise in the world. (Simon Lowe)
Emily really helped me through a difficult time and taught me several techniques that were very beneficial to my recovery. Very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable in every session. Thank you Emily! (Emily Goyal)
Ruth was amazing, her empathy and compassion really helped me to be able to talk and emote myself. Thank you for giving me a safe, non-judgmental space. (Ruth Holland)
Halinka has been a calming and attentive presence during my counselling sessions. The way she helped me confront my worries and listened to my outpourings was very much appreciated and needed. It helped me understand that some things are out of my reach to resolve, but other issues I can work on. Like making more time for myself. Halinka was a great support during my sessions. It helped me feel stronger and I am aiming to continue feeling like that in the future. (Halinka Hepworth)
My needs for this time have been met. Future counselling sessions will be needed in the future after a period of reflection and self-work. Darren has been a great listener, challenged my beliefs and didn’t allow me to wander into self-pity. I appreciate the sessions and the help Darren has given me. Thank you. (Darren Hall)
I’ve really valued the way C has picked up on my behaviours + comments and helped me work through to seeing real, tangible improvements in my binge eating. Thank you! (Catherine Chapman)
Ben has a very calm and open nature to his approach to counselling which has really helped me explore my own challenges + childhood experiences. (Ben Grunnell)
My sessions with Emily have been amazing, hard but amazing. When I first arrived I thought I’d never be able to forgive myself for the past, however over time with Emily’s support and questioning I have been able to achieve this. Thank you Emily. (Emily Goyal)
Very surprised how much therapy helped. Aman has been brilliant. I found in the past I’ve not had people understand me for me but Aman has showed me patience and understanding. She has been kind and explained things to me if I’ve not understood without me feeling silly. She has always been sensitive to my needs and considerate of my mental health without being judgmental. I found her very easy to talk to- I'm sad sessions are ending but grateful I’m in a much better place. I feel so much happier. (Aman Johal)
I would just like to thank Emma for being such a great therapist in helping me through my day to day situations. (Emma Slusarenko)
I had the best experience with my counsellor Emily. It was easy to get assessed and find a time that worked for me to start. I always felt like I could say whatever I was feeling, I never felt judged or that I couldn’t say certain things. Emily was an amazing listener but would give suggestions on how to deal with certain things if I needed them. (Emily Goyal)
Ruth has been an open, honest and easy person to talk through my feelings and help me come to a point where I feel happier in myself. (Ruth Holland)
This was my first proper counselling experience. I found it really helpful, found Aman to be really easy to talk to. A very nice person. She understood me and helped me more than I thought was possible. I would recommend counselling to anyone after my experience. Also found it really interesting- the knowledge and theory behind it. I am very grateful to Aman- my mindset has changed because of our sessions. I felt like she really cared and was more than a therapist, I know she wasn’t but felt like a friend. I will miss our work together but have learnt a lot about myself. (Aman Johal)
It was my child that had counselling not myself. I do feel though that he has benefitted from the sessions and we’re actively considering having more in the future. Also the communication has been outstanding. We would not hesitate to come back. Chrissie has been lovely and after (my son) being nervous in the 1st week he enjoys his time with her and looks forward to coming. (Chrissie James)
Came to Green Lane unsure of what to expect but have found the process extremely helpful. I have coping mechanisms in place + found time for myself. My thanks to Emily for the support. (Emily Goyal)
Counselling with Shelly has been one of the best things I have ever done for my mental health. I would recommend to anyone. I will certainly be coming back when the time is right. (Shelly Walker)
I said it to Danielle in our final session, but I’d also like to mention it now. I came to therapy because I was in a time I needed it, I needed the support and a place to take the weight off of me. I needed someone I could trust, to provide me with guidance and often insight into things I’d never even considered. Within a few sessions with Danielle, I felt at ease and knew I was in safe hands to divulge my thoughts. I didn’t know how I wanted therapy to look for me, but quickly realised that the methods and styles Danielle uses were the most appropriate and beneficial for me. I can’t put into words the help that Danielle has provided me and the ways she has changed my life, just through talking, prompting and guiding me. I felt understood, supported, and heard in all of our sessions. She was professional and compassionate-a balance which is hard to find. I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist to have during the hardest time of my life, and should I ever find myself facing a difficult time again, I would feel encouraged to know I had Danielle by my side again. Therapy is not a guaranteed fix, but for me, I feel very fortunate to have had the best support and could not recommend Danielle enough. (Danielle Jeffs)
I can confidently say that having therapy sessions with Catherine really helps me to grow as a person. I’ve learnt so much from her, to look at other perspectives, to connect with my true self, to tell myself that I’m good enough, and the most important, to be kind to myself. Thank you so much both Green Lane and Catherine for being with me in this journey and helping me grow as a person. (Catherine Chapman)
My mood has improved so much and I have benefitted from my sessions. Thank you. During my first few sessions the waiting room felt like a place full of anxiety and little eye contact was made by people waiting – being ‘collected’ at the same time was not always a good feeling. It now feels much better and the same people say hello. (Josh Gahonia)
Emma has been great. Patient with me and made me feel safe to talk. I would return in the future if I needed it. Thank you so much 😊 x (Emma Engstrom)
It was very beneficial for me. 😊 (Samantha Bosworth)
I have loved my time here! (Simon Lowe)
Having a safe space to explore and work with was so helpful and valuable. (Ian Hewitt)
Really beneficial session, feel like the old me again! Thank you! (Ross Webster)
Very efficient, quick time to first counselling session, good appointment availability and good flexibility. Lots of different approaches discussed in sessions which was very beneficial. (Samantha Bosworth)
Thank you Neha, for all your support and guidance over the past 10 months. (Neha Giri)
So grateful to Green Lane Counselling, I have learnt so much about myself which will be of great benefit to me for the future. (Danielle Jeffs)
I hope I’ll be able to see Josh again when my schedule clears up, he’s great to talk to. There has been a few sessions that felt like they didn’t have much direction but even then it was just nice to talk. Would do therapy here again. (Josh Gahonia)
Gave me perspective on things. (Karen Chamberlain)
Very good and efficient. (Darren Hall)
Really helpful team. Very happy with the counselling our daughter received, would highly recommend to friends and family. I know we can get in contact at any point. The counsellor was always happy to discuss things and gave advice. (Chrissie James)
Excellent, really helped me move forward. (Sam Bosworth)
Brilliant that I was able to have Sam again as my counsellor as I already know we work well together, and we already have a rapport, so it was easy to be able to get straight back into the sessions. (Sam Bosworth)
I am very happy with the service I got. I felt safe to openly speak my thoughts and feelings. (Karimot Badmus)
Kellie is great. (Kellie Thomas)
Really quick assessment and follow on appointment. Seen Priyanka who was always lovely, compassionate and put me at ease, so very thankful for the service which has helped me so very much and I have learnt lots of skills which I will continue to use. Thank you so much for everything- you have been such an important part of my journey. (Priyanka Saha)
Rushali has changed my life, from helping me discover why I am anxious, the root cause to how I can cure it. I am so grateful for everything Rushali and Green lane has done for me. My friends have all received recommendations because I truly believe everyone would benefit from therapy, especially at Green Lane. Thank you!!! (Rushali Srivastava)
Attending the sessions at Green Lane have helped me significantly with building my self-esteem and improved my quality of life.
I feel so grateful for the opportunity to have had access to these sessions & appreciative of the reduced rate that was offered to me. I cannot speak highly enough of Rushali. She is an asset to the team in every single way. She is professional, thoughtful, kind, helpful & so so incredible at her job. I have had 3 therapists now at Green Lane & she has definitely been the best for me. I have gained more than I can say & this has helped me, my family & the people around me. Thank you so very much.
Counselling has been life-changing for me. I was in a very different headspace when I started, to where I am now. Vala has been brilliant in every session and has given me the tools I need to be the best version of myself. (Vala Ghabousi)
Emma has been an incredible support over the course of our counselling sessions. She made us feel so comfortable and were able to discuss anything with no judgement. Emma knew exactly how to tailor our sessions to our needs and drew out the problems and enabled us to discuss everything in a safe environment. We are a much stronger couple for it and cannot express how grateful we are to Emma for getting us to this point. (Emma Engstrom)
Counsellor was able to help me understand more about the process and get me comfortable in opening up quickly at the beginning when I was still uncertain with how things go. They have also been able to provide and suggest resources and books that have been helpful between sessions and that I can continue to turn to as required on finishing counselling. (Saindhavi Venugopal)
Kate has been invaluable helping me navigate my feelings + rethinking how to react differently. Cannot recommend highly enough. (Kate Hicks)
I’m very grateful for GLCP for the support and help I received. Over a period of one year, I had an intense time working on myself and thanks to GLCP, I achieved my desired goals and feel much better. Finally, after years of stress and worries, I feel free, confident, and at peace. Thank you. (Neha Giri)
Initially, I didn’t want the counselling sessions, but having attended the sessions, it has helped me incredibly. For the first time, I’ve had the space to open up about thoughts and feelings (both positive and negative) and learnt how to positively grow and become a better person both for myself and others. A massive thank you. (Neha Giri)
Amy was nice and respectful and has given me great advice. (Amy Ruiters)
I have felt counselling really helped with getting me into a better place and recommend it to anyone who talks to me about it. (Marlon Blair)
Coming here has made a huge difference. My initial phone call to ascertain my needs and place me with a relevant counsellor was great. I feel that my journey couldn’t have gone much better. Thanks to Ruth who has been amazing and I can’t describe how much better I feel about myself and my situation. (Ruth Holland)
The sessions with Neha have helped me a lot to work through difficult memories, emotions and behaviours. I have learned good coping techniques and Neha has helped me to shift my perspective in a positive way. I am very grateful for her support. (Neha Giri)
Ruth has helped me come on in so many ways. She helped me to be the person I’ve wanted to be and what other things I can do in the future. I’m a stronger person than I was before I came here. (Ruth Holland)
Thank you! I have really felt the change and have gained so much confidence in my ability to have my OWN life. (Shekha Fathima)
I’ve had such a negative experience in the past with the NHS and their counselling services. Coming to Green Lane and having Danielle help me throughout these 6-ish months has been the best road to finally getting my life back. She validated and supported me but also caught me out when needed. (Danielle Jeffs)
Simon has been absolutely superb. Brilliant. (Simon Lowe)
I cannot thank Saindhavi enough for her warmth and support these past eight months. Will see you guys very soon! (Saindhavi Venugopal)
Simon has certainly helped me turn my life back into a positive direction and I am eternally grateful for this. (Simon Lowe)
Counselling has really helped me to cope and deal with my feelings and has helped me achieve where I want to be. It has also helped me to sleep better and use different strategies such as journaling. (Ela Demir)
Well structured sessions each time. Allowed me to express my feelings and emotions in a secure and safe environment. Also allowed me to change from a weekly schedule to a fortnightly schedule. (Karimot Badmus)
The sessions with Emily have really helped me with my anxiety and grief. It’s given me coping strategies to enable me to manage my anxiety. (Emily Goyal)
Thank you for everything, you have really helped me grow into a better me. Kellie is amazing and made me feel so understood and helped me through everything. (Kellie Thomas)
Darren has been fantastic, since coming for the first time in November, I haven’t gambled and feel better than ever. He made me feel comfortable and safe to talk about my problem gambling. So thank you, Darren. (Darren Hall)
I felt very supported, having never had any experience I was unaware what to expect. There were issues I hadn’t even realised were affecting me and my ability to cope, with the advice and support given I feel I have a stronger chance of overcoming all the issues highlighted. Overall much more positive to move in the right direction, I thank you for helping me. (Charlotte Vickers)
Anna was always lovely, sweet and kind. I also really enjoyed the kinetic sand and never felt judged. (Anna Douglas)
Karen has been inspirational and been a positive support around helping me to deal with issues. I feel that I now have closure on certain aspects of life that I struggled with. I am also aware the door is always open should I feel that I need additional support. (Karen Chamberlain)
Very grateful to Cat for helping me to feel comfortable enough to talk through my thoughts and feelings. I feel so much better after 6 sessions with her, she’s really made a difference. (Catherine Chapman)
I had a really good rapport with Aman. I am aware it can be hard to click with therapy sometimes but when my dad was in hospital, I found Aman to be an absolute pillar of support. I don’t think I would have got through that time without her. I am so grateful for everything. I am not sure my therapy journey is fully done but due to financial constraints, I will try to work on myself first to see if that helps through exercise, mindfulness, and weight loss as this causes much anxiety for me. If I need therapy in the future, I would 100% use Green Lane. (Aman Johal)
Darren has helped me completely change my life and helped me to be in a position that I did not think I’d be able to get to. (Darren Hall)
I was at the start of a very dark place. I no longer wanted to choose the sadness and missed the me before all of the trauma. I wanted to get better-whatever that would look like- and fully embrace the process. With Rushali’s help I was able to make sense and rationalise the fears. There’s now a lightness I haven’t felt in such a long time. I don’t carry the past, of hurt, or pain, I don’t have anything else hitching a ride. It’s just me and my future. And it looks good. (Rushali Srivastava)
I had a great experience with Rushali. She has been a fantastic counsellor to work with. I’m very grateful to her for the space she has provided and how effortlessly she navigated our sessions. I definitely felt seen, heard and understood. Thanks to greenlane for fulfilling my BAME requirements. (Rushali Srivastava)
Great therapist. Provided me a lot of tools to manage my mental health. I felt like my individual needs were met during therapy. I feel stronger now, and that is all thanks to Vala. (Vala Ghabousi)
This was my first therapy based thing in my life, and I can honestly say it was life changing. From the therapist to what they offered me counselling wise, my life will forever be better for doing this, genuinely thank you.
I have had a great experience of therapy and appreciate everyone who has helped me.
Emily made me feel very comfortable and being able to discuss my issues. (Emily Goyal)
Kate is great. Some of these questions are hard to fully answer as I have had another therapy opportunity so I haven’t been able to “fully complete” anything here in that degree but it has definitely helped me deal with a variety of recent things, or at least begin opening a conversation up when needed. (Kate Hicks)
Richard (Mark-Hansen) was by far the best therapist I have ever had. His attention to detail, particularly in making me feel listened to and seen, was fantastic. He was particularly skilled at processing what I brought into the session and anchoring down the key points of discussion so that they were able to be explored usefully and thoughtfully.
I would particularly recommend his services to anyone who has experienced trauma and/or is neurodivergent. His knowledge in this area has provided me with invaluable support and guidance when I really needed it.
