Testimonials about therapy with Bella
“I have been seeing Bella for a few years now and can wholeheartedly recommend her as a thoughtful, supportive and intelligent therapist. I find our sessions to be engaging, rewarding and mature conversations and her insights unfailingly astute and insightful.” Sally
“I’m so glad I worked with Bella. It took a lot to start therapy and she made me feel comfortable and free to unburden myself. Certain things are a lot clearer to me now and I feel calmer and happier in general.” Rhea
“I’ve had therapy with Bella for 8 years and her support is central to me feeling grounded and balanced.” Daniel
“My 5 months or so having therapy with Bella were hugely beneficial to me at a time where I needed it most. I had never stopped to reflect inwards, to openly share my own life experiences, or to understand some of my own behaviours and where they came from, and how to be more forgiving towards myself and others. I've come away feeling much more confident in myself, having made improvements to my relationships and my own well-being.” Anonymous
“It came at the right time for me, I wasn't feeling wonderful and with Bella's help I got a lot of stuff that I had been holding on to off my chest. I felt better after one session.” Anonymous
