I really enjoyed your presentation and kept thinking about how I felt after/during your reading from the perspective of a depressed person. It made me realise, that if they are able to just turn up in my office, then that is a great achievement. The thing that stuck also was you saying " this is the clients' depression talking, not his personality".

My coach [ Dr Kemi ] was great. Wonderful listener who was able to ask the right questions and provide guidance and tips as appropriate.

The experience of therapy has been positive one. With the support and insight of the psychologist I have been able to work on things that have been affecting the quality of my life for over a decade.

I was hugely impressed by how Gail/Dr Wingham supported me - both in crisis and with longer term issues. She stands out from her peers through a rare combination of three key attributes: First and foremost, she is an instinctively kind and caring human; Full of natural compassion and drive to help others. Second, she’s exceptionally intellectually capable, obvious both from her top tier qualifications and immediately clear when you work with her. Third, her her experience with some of the greatest challenges in her field lends her a unique and truly valuable perspective compared to other therapists I’ve worked with.

My time with Janine was, in many ways, life changing. I learnt things about myself and my mental health that I wasn’t aware of. Janine taught me a great deal of coping techniques but moreover allowed me to get to the core of my issues and address them. As a result I have far better relations with some of the most important people in my life and am much more comfortable in myself. Janine was very compassionate and empathic. She allowed me to forge my own path in therapy whilst giving me enough guidance and direction. Whilst Janine’s fees were higher than others, it was worth the additional outlay.

I wanted to say how much I appreciate everything you have done so far. The things I have learnt I will take with me forever as tools for living and thinking about life/situations.

Claire was very helpful and kind

Janine knows how to ask the correct questions and utilises the information you give her well to be constructive and insightful. Her competence is undeniable and her calm and sophisticated approach really helps to provide an optimistic approach to therapy. It is evident that she is capable of dealing with situations that may seem overly complex and can effectively provide advice and communicate in such a way that does not allow for judgement or ill feeling about therapy. I would strongly recommend.

Many thanks for the [teaching] session on Friday. I found the exercise on depression very interesting as it’s something I personally don’t stop to think about too much and I guess we can be quite quick to underestimate the overall impact on lifestyle so thank you for highlighting this.

In the short amount of time I've been seeing Janine, I feel so much progress has been made already. The space that has been created is professional, yet comfortable. At every point, Janine has kept me involved - always checking in that I feel like the sessions are helpful or if there's anything I want to work on. The plan we have made together has ensured transparency, and has made me feel listened to, and that I have a say in what happens. Janine is very patient, kind, and I always leave feeling positive and motivated, regardless of what we've discussed in the session. I'm very happy with everything so far, and look forward to continuing working with Janine.
