"Honestly I could not recommend Charlene more highly. She worked with both of my daughters for almost a year. After several years of CAHMS private counselling, social workers, mash, several schools, SDH and police involvement. My daughters have found someone to trust, who listens. I believe my daughter opened up more in her first sessions then ever before. I truly value the support, strategies and space Charlene gives my teenage daughters. My only regret is that I didn't find her sooner. I haven't seen any box ticking which is so refreshing. We sat and watched a film together this week, which was a massive breakthrough."

"The sessions I had with Charlene were good & helpful. I felt comfortable talking to her and she was understanding that sometimes it is really hard to say something. You had patience & gave me time, thank you"

"Charlene has been an incredible support for our son, working with him weekly at school to help him manage his anxiety and build independence and confidence. She quickly developed a strong rapport with him, earning his trust and respect in a way that made a real difference. What began with some hesitation has turned into something he genuinely looks forward to each week. Charlene is kind, patient, and caring, and she strikes a thoughtful balance in supporting the needs of the school, our child, and us as parents. We’re so grateful for the positive impact she’s had on us all."

To be honest I don’t really believe in counselling or ‘therapy’ as never thought it really worked & definitely wouldn’t work for me. Char told me to commit to 3 1-1 sessions and then can make a decision about whether I wanted the support to carry on. I have completed 10 sessions so far and can honestly say char has encouraged me to express my feelings and she is the first person I have opened up to about many things in my life. I enjoy working with Char as she understands my situation and how this has impacted my past and future drastically. In two of my sessions I have actually got pretty emotional but do you know what, that’s fine and I have never felt judged or dismissed by Char. I am grateful she encouraged me to stick out those initial sessions and let all my issues out in an environment I felt safe to do so. The sessions continue and I just want to say thank you Char.

“Thank you so much Charlene for the group work you have completed with our young ladies we commissioned you to do. It was a huge success & we will definitely be commissioning you again. Such brilliant work tailored to their unique needs. "
