Testimonies

“I first came to see Simon as I was in need of professional help. I was in active addiction and suffering from Complex trauma and just didn’t know how to cope with life. I tried everything from self-help right through to closing my eyes and wishing my pain away. Nothing worked and I was considering giving up on myself.

When I came to see Simon, he was attentive and understood exactly what was going on for me internally and he counselled me slowly back to life. Now I’m a lot happier and I’m engaged to be married and I’ve got a job that I enjoy. I couldn’t recommend Simon enough. He did more for me in a short space of time than what I could do in my 42 years of existence.”

''I came to Simon as a broken alcoholic, who through 14 years of addiction had come to completely lose hope. As my counsellor during my time in rehabilitation, I always felt like he truly cared about me getting better and what I had to say. 

The fact he's been through a lot himself really helped me relate to him, something I don't always find easy. His warmth and insight helped me learn that I was worth something and that there was hope for me yet. Three and a half years later without a drink, with a steady job and an amazing relationship with my daughter, I can't thank him enough.''
