I cannot recommend Maggie enough. I had tried counselling before and thought it wasn’t for me. I now realise that finding the right counsellor makes all the difference.

I went to see Maggie when I felt I was no longer able to cope and everything in my life was going wrong. I couldn’t understand why. Maggie was very incisive in identifying the issues. My sessions with her have not only helped me gain an understanding of my habits and patterns but also given me the tools to break the bad habits and understand what is important. As a result I feel in control, grounded and confident in all parts of my life and most importantly, I feel capable of moving forward in my life. My only regret is that I hadn’t found Maggie sooner.

I undertook 6 months of therapy with Judy and its 6 months I believe has changed my life forever. Judy was professional, eloquent, and non-judgmental. I sought out therapy primarily to help tackle my anxiety and to find someone who can help me understand my thought processes in a more coherent way. I suffered daily from anxiety and my negative thought processes were holding me back a great deal in my relationships with others and above all, myself.

During the first 4-5 sessions, Judy educated me on the impact anxiety has on your body, where it comes from, the scientific understanding of it and techniques to help manage it. This I believe was crucial to my healing. Once I had physical control over my anxiety, we were then able to delve deeper into the triggers. Judy helped me understand things about myself that I would have never been able to achieve alone. Her knowledge and experience really shone through in every aspect of my sessions.

Even during lockdown when i was put at risk of redundancy, Judy adapted our sessions to some career coaching to help me get back on track. Again, I was blown away with her abundance of experience and fast thinking adaptivity to cater for the unpredictable times we have been living in (for the past 3 months especially).

Now that my sessions have temporarily come to a close, I feel that I know myself in a much more clear and coherent way. I understand where my triggers lie when it comes to my anxiety and how to manage them. My relationships, especially with my family are stronger and I have, with Judy’s help, managed to set my own boundaries and stick to them.

During my time with Judy, I never felt that I was holding anything back and that is rare. I saw 3 different therapists before this, none of which really understood and helped me articulate my thoughts like Judy did, this i believe comes from her years of experience and naturally calm and caring demeanor.

I couldn’t recommend Judy enough to anyone suffering from any form of anxiety, depression, family/relationship conflicts or career coaching. Her rationality and sheer understanding of the way our minds work is a rare find and I believe anyone can benefit from this.

Paul was amazing. I am so unbelievably grateful for the work he’s done with me. I’ve gone through a lot of therapists and I have a hard time trusting them (or their opinions). I am not an easy client to have, but Paul is a model of intelligence, kindness, understanding, and patience. He was an integral part of getting me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. He is very good at identifying what’s at the root of issues and he knows how to guide you without beating you over the head. He is also very professional. I, truly, cannot recommend him enough. I can’t speak for the other therapists, but KlearMinds seems to put thought and care into matching their clients with the right therapist. When I initially called, I don’t remember who I talked to but she was a very kind woman who basically gave me a free therapy session, spending almost an hour on the phone with me, before matching me with the best therapist I’ve ever had. And honestly I almost rejected him and asked for another because he was a man and I don’t usually trust men… thank God I trusted their recommendation and didn’t do that!! I highly recommend their services!

After a number of false starts with therapists, I can only say that I wish I had found Maggie sooner! Over a period of 15 years I had seen multiple therapists and psychiatrists to address issues relating to anxiety, depression and workplace stress. With invariably unsatisfying results, I was extremely skeptical about seeing another therapist: more fundamentally I was utterly pessimistic about the possibility of being happy. My skepticism proved unfounded.

Maggie really helped me to elucidate and articulate the origins of deeply embedded patterns of negative and self defeating thinking, which proved essential in enabling her to then work with me to develop practical strategies for loosening their grip. She is patient and compassionate while being proactive and constructively challenging when she needs to be. I found this combination of empathy and robust testing of my negative perceptions immensely helpful.

The process resulted in my feeling much better at work, building up the confidence to successfully apply for a new job (which would have been unimaginable before I started therapy) and to take important strides forward in my relationship.

Whether you are considering therapy for the first time or feeling like therapy is a dead end, I believe you have nothing to lose and plenty gain by seeking out an introductory session with Maggie.

I recently completed a transformative 10-session journey of therapy with Judy, and it has truly left a profound impact on my life. Judy’s guidance equipped me with invaluable tools to better manage various aspects of my life. The sessions were instrumental in fostering positive changes, and I now feel more empowered and capable of navigating life’s challenges with a newfound sense of control. Judy’s expertise and the structured approach of integrative therapy has proven to be invaluable assets in enhancing my overall well-being. Despite any initial uncertainties about the age difference, I found that it had no impact on my comfort level when discussing my problems during the sessions with Judy. Her professionalism, empathy, and skillful approach transcended any potential concerns, creating a safe and supportive space for open communication.

I hit a period in my life when it seemed I had never felt so low. Amongst other problems, I was coping with a major bereavement and it felt like a crisis. During this period I managed to find Maggie and sheepishly dragged myself into her office. Straight away Maggie was warm, kind and understanding – she didn’t rush anything – or if something didn’t work – we’d just move on. It felt odd to be talking about my problems and it was difficult but together we worked through them – I didn’t want to be in therapy for a long time, I just wanted to get better, get on with my life.

Over the next six weeks Maggie and myself met once a week and we’d talk, after each session I’d feel so much better, stronger and my mind began to clear. I cannot recommend Maggie highly enough to you. Whilst life still presents me with challenges I can cope with them as I feel so much stronger now – I owe her much.

I met with Tania at KlearMinds for 12 sessions during 2023. Trust was immediately established between us, with Tania’s warm and welcoming approach helping to make me feel comfortable from our first meeting all the way through to our final session. Tania helped navigate me through some difficult unresolved trauma from my childhood, which had been holding me back for a long time. Tania helped me look at my past through a lens of warmth, understanding and curiosity, rather than the fear, anger and shame that I had historically been doing. I can safely say that Tania’s help has changed my life, as I have finally healed those wounds which had troubled me for so long. Thank you Tania. Thank you KlearMinds. I would recommend your services without any hesitation.

I have seen Maggie for a short batch of sessions, on 4 occasions, over a period of several years. She has provided me with invaluable support through many problems I’ve needed help with, from post-natal depression and general mental health issues, to career decisions I needed an objective view on, to more recently, work/life balance conundrums and parenting struggles I’ve been facing. Without fail, each time, Maggie has been able to very quickly distil the crux of what’s likely to be at the root of the issue, and given me highly insightful and actionable advice that I can take and use, even long past attending one to one sessions.

Maggie has a great nature and manages to be highly professional while also being very sensitive to what your emotional needs might be at that time. Maggie, and the services she provides, have been absolutely transformational for me in coming to terms with childhood trauma and understanding its impact on my present, while also not allowing it to dictate my future. I cannot recommend Maggie highly enough.

My experience with Amanda has been nothing short of transformational. I was completely stuck, down in the dumps about my career and not sure how to move forward. Amanda was absolutely brilliant in her approach and always managed to ask just the right questions. The sessions were testing, enlightening, enjoyable, emotional but most of all empowering. Amanda has helped me understand myself, step back and look at the facts around me and increased my confidence hugely. After the first few sessions I had already managed to hand in my notice, put a plan in place for the future and feel excited for what tomorrow would bring. Amanda was always good at reminding me that “I can do this without you” when I would thank her for for help, the truth is, I couldn’t have done it without her! I feel I now have a toolbox to approach any problem life can throw up. I would whole heartedly recommend Amanda and KlearMinds to anyone and especially to those who feel like they are stuck and know they need a change, but are not sure how to make it.

Working with Maggie has helped me tremendously. I initially sought out a life or career coach as I felt stuck in a toxic situation at work, however, working on a psychological level to understand the situation and other dynamics in my life, has really helped me navigate the situation and bring overall ease, calm and awareness to my life. I have seen a number of therapists over the years and definitely felt this was the best experience I have had. I really appreciated Maggie’s combination of empathy and practicality, an investment that has truly paid off.

I had never thought I was someone who would need counselling or therapy, as I had always been very strong. However when my career wasn’t going quite as I had planned it, I found I was becoming very negative and mentally spiralling out of control – in fact turning myself into a victim.

Maggie’s structured, logical, evidence based approach to my mental state was something I could easily understand and work with. It meant that I was very quickly (in about 5 sessions) back to having control over my life and feeling so much more positive and happy about everything.

Now I realise that sometimes we need a little help. Maggie was outstanding at providing me with what I needed, not as a “quick fix” but by giving me the tools to use whenever I may need them in the future. Thank you Maggie, I am so very grateful to you.
