In My Client’s Words

  • “Shona is a committed and caring counsellor ..."

    “Shona is a committed and caring counsellor who instantly developed a nurturing relationship with my child. After only one session they were already looking forward to the next despite being quite apprehensive before starting counselling.”

  • “It’s a real pleasure to share what an excellent practitioner Shona is ..."

    “It’s a real pleasure to share what an excellent practitioner Shona is. Warm, caring, and competent, Shona treats each client and their story with the utmost respect. Shona can make the most vulnerable clients feel safe, those who have never heard their story heard, and those who have felt unimportant, seen, for the first time. Knowing the length and breadth of Shona’s counselling work as well as her global professional career, she brings all of her life experiences to her practice as well as empowering and encouraging her clients to move forward in the way that feels right for them.”

  • “Shona listened, heard and Understood ..."

    “Shona made me feel like I was not ‘going mad’ as a time when my life was a complete mess. She listened and herd and understood how I felt and was so caring and kind. We were able to work together to find the root of the problem and learn different ways to cope and I feel stronger and more confident because of the experience.”

  • "Shona treated each individual child as a unique person ..."

    “I had the pleasure to work with Shona for 4 years during her time as an international teacher in Muscat, Oman. She had a fantastic approach to education and treated each individual child as a unique person and catered to their individual needs, not just from an educational point but holistically. Every child thrived academically, socially, and emotionally under her care. I have no doubt Shona will excel in her new venture with her natural empathy and kindness. I truly believe this is a vocation for her and she is born to help others.”
