Testimonials
This is just a note to express my thanks. I have just finished going to therapy and wanted to say that the sessions have really helped me understand how to deal with my anxiety on a daily basis. My therapist was very helpful, and compassionate and helped me feel more confident about how to deal with my problems on a day-to-day basis. They also taught me the skills to disregard my negative thought patterns effectively and I am very grateful for the support, without which I would not have been able to get through a very difficult period. If ever I have further problems, you and your practice would be the first I contact.
Before my sessions with you, Elena, it really felt like my problems were in-built and incurable. But, with the benefit of your clarity of approach, penetrating insight, and personal warmth, I no longer fear those problems. Instead, I feel and recognise that you have given me powerful and effective means of overcoming them, and you have helped me come a long way in doing so.
I wanted to thank you for your tremendous support and attention this year. You were instrumental in assisting me in my recovery and development. I look forward to continuing working with you.
I was referred to Michelle Bassam by my GP for panic attacks and early childhood issues. She has a calming and stabilising effect and a very caring approach. She gave me the confidence to explore my inner self and in small steps set about a healing process by showing me how to use certain ‘tools’. She has given me the help I needed to grow into the confident person I am today. I very much appreciate her help. I know a few people who have seen her and we all hold her in the highest regard.
I have learnt a lot of very interesting and useful things from you Laura and you are brilliant at your job.
I am now 59, and since my teens I have suffered periodic depression and attacks of anxiety. I had group and one-to-one counselling; but it was not until my doctor referred me to Michelle Bassam that I started to make progress. I have gained strength and self- knowledge to the extent that I am feeling far more confident of being able to cope with various life issues and understand more and more how I ‘tick’. She is a really special and valuable counsellor.
Thank you Elena - in a big way. I’m struggling to find the words to express my gratitude. Thank you for helping me find my smile again and teaching me about how to pursue real happiness. These last few sessions have made me feel great as I’ve realized that I’ve accomplished a lot with you & for a change I’m proud of myself. I know I’ve got a lot of work left to do... But, for a change the future’s bright and I’ve got cause for celebration! So in short - thank you.
My appointment was very helpful and interesting. I found Laura very knowledgeable, personable and easy to talk to.
My sessions with Michelle Magri have been very useful - she is great at her job. Please pass on my thanks to Michelle for her work to date.
Janet was very helpful and understood the situation very quickly.
I am just about to have my last session with Michelle Bassam, and I would unreservedly recommend her insightful and invaluable relationship therapy, which has helped me to get through an extremely difficult time in my marriage, with the right outcome. She has been extremely supportive and has gone beyond the call of duty in providing me with help, encouragement and useful tools for the future. Thank you so much, Michelle - you have helped change my life for the better!
I found Melanie's help and understanding invaluable and would recommend her services to anyone...I hope that you will pass on my sincerest thanks to Melanie personally for her professionalism and intelligent understanding of my situation, which led to a careful navigation back to health.
I can’t thank you [Michelle Bassam] enough for all your help during a difficult time. You have been absolutely fantastic and a true star. Thank you so much again. PS - I have learnt a lot from you which has not only benefited me now but will be so useful through my career.
I’d like to thank you for your time and kindness in listening to me and your helpful insights. I do admire you for your dedication to your profession. Thanks to your help I already feel better than I had been for some time. I feel that I have made a good start in overcoming my depression and the related problems in a relatively short period of time. Thanks again.
Thank you Elena for all your help and guidance. I’ve really enjoyed working with you and feel that, with your help, I’ve made some big strides in terms of understanding myself and learning useful skills to help me lead a happier (and more sensible!) life. Your voice was always encouraging, challenging and humorous, and I know I will find it useful in the future to imagine your reactions as I go about challenging unhelpful thoughts with the techniques you’ve taught me so thoroughly. So thanks very much.
I would like to thank Michelle for the invaluable counseling she provided to me during my recent sessions. Michelle made me extremely comfortable, enabling me to discuss a range of topics that led to a significantly improvement in my approach and outlook on life. Her counseling has improved my well-being and made me a much calmer person in both my personal and professional life. Her approach, comforting style and professional insight were very impressive. I continue to use her techniques in many daily situations with very positive outcomes. I am very grateful for the changes that Michelle has made to my life.
I have found the sessions hugely helpful and beneficial.
I feel that I am moving forward in my healing and well being journey. Michelle - you have been very professional, perceptive, wise, understanding, and supportive throughout the process. You’ve helped me regain my life back. I can’t thank you enough.
I just wanted to say a big thank you for giving me a highly-cherished space to talk/think and work out what I feel about people and events in my life. I really have appreciated my weekly sessions with you and looked forward to them very much. You have led me to my own conclusions – never putting false ideas into my head or speculating groundlessly. But you have made insightful observations which have assisted me in making connections which have helped me greatly. I have come to understand myself a lot better over the past year, particularly in my relationship. And I suppose because I understand myself better, I like myself more and am generally happier. So therapy has worked for me.
Thank you so very much for helping me sort out my head and return to some normality!
The counselling sessions with Lisa have really turned my life around. I had previously had counselling but did not feel that I benefited from it as I did not feel comfortable with the sessions and did not learn anything which would help me with problem areas in my life. The difference with Lisa is that she really made me feel at ease and not only listened but taught me useful techniques to apply to every day situations. Furthermore she taught me to be a calmer person by teaching me to meditate on a daily basis. Six months ago, I was very depressed but I can honestly say that this is no longer the case. I am very grateful to Lisa for her help!
Thank you so much Elena for your support over the past few months. I know you said you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink, but the fact is that you led this horse to the right trough and that’s made all the difference! My life will never be quite the same.
My thanks and best wishes to Bernice for all her help - I found speaking with her very beneficial and she put me very much at ease. I feel as though I have clarity now around issues that were causing me anxiety, and more importantly an action plan mapped out, so a very big thank you to her for her help.
Dear Michelle [Bassam], I just wanted to write and thank you for your time, patience and understanding towards me at such a difficult time in my life.
Stefan was kind, friendly and really was there to help.
Even though I have only worked with you for a short time I gained much from the sessions. I valued your presence and way of working enormously. I now refer to you when talking to my close friends and family and you have become a household name!
