I met Jane at Clear counselling in January 2020. I had looked for local help and by chance found her website. I was in a state of shock when we met. I felt my life was falling apart, as was my long-term relationship. Talking it through with Jane meant my anxiety levels slowly reduced and I developed a plan for how to get through the rest of my life. It was tough but I felt safe to explore how I had got to this point in my life. I think everyone would benefit from counselling; life is tough, work is tough, relationships are hard, especially if you have been in one for many years. Dealing with this with Jane’s care and attention really helped me, and let me be kind to myself. When I finished the counselling, I realised it had been quite a journey. Thank you, Jane.
