Client Testimonials

So Helpful

I've found Shelley’s sessions so helpful. I was really scared to start therapy as I had a lot of hard things I was going through at the time. Through my sessions with Shelley she has helped me to discover my own neurodivergence and get an official autistic diagnosis at 28 after years of struggling with anxiety. This is helping me to set better boundaries and coping mechanisms for myself. Shelley is Very easy to talk to and makes me feel at ease when I'm in a session.
