Philosophical Counselling Testimonials
"I found each session extremely stimulating. The 50 minutes just flew by on every occasion.
My 200 mile drive was worth every mile and the time I had
to take off work to attend the sessions worth every minute.
I
particularly liked the way I could engage with Tim and direct the core of my
feelings toward positive and useful solutions.
I also
really liked the way Tim took notes and provided email feedback after
each session enabling me to continue the process between meetings."
PM. Managing Director
"For the first time in two years, I was being honest with myself about what I really wanted "
Claire Smith, writing in The Independent. - full article here.
"Thank you for helping me to get my life to where it is today.
As you will remember, I came to you for help when I was deciding whether to opt for voluntary redundancy or not. I felt trapped in my well paid job, but deskilled and demotivated. I was sure that I didn’t have the skills to get another job, nor did I expect to find something part-time to fit around my young family. I was also scared of becoming a full-time Mum.
You listened to all my concerns, guided me to see where my strengths lay, and helped me look across a wider spectrum of possibilities. I would never have thought I would be the person to do it, but now I have my own business (in a completely different field from my old job) and when I look back, it is exactly the strengths that you identified which have brought it together.
I am like a new person: happy,
busy, confident and fulfilled – and able to run the business around the needs
of my family, which is exactly what I wanted.
Thank you again."

"Again, I want to thank you for all your help. I really feel much better and in control. The most helpful aspects of the sessions were the way in which Tim helped me to articulate the problems I had and in particular the many issues involved in each.
All in all, I found the sessions very empowering. Tim gave me the chance
to believe that I could do all the things I wanted to if I could look at them
from a different perspective or with a different attitude. They had a very
positive effect on me and increased my confidence and self-esteem."
