”My child was diagnosed with OCD by the NHS, but waiting times meant they were unable to offer any help until way into the future. We approached Donatella because her profile fit my child‘s problems, and he was in a very bad way so we simply couldn't wait. She met with me (his mother) before we agreed to proceed, to make sure we could all work together. Her help has been invaluable – she was clearly so experienced in dealing with young people, and knew just how to approach my child to address his issues. I really can't thank Donatella enough – we were at a complete loss as to help my child, and after a course of therapy with her, he is back to the boy he was before, without his anxieties affecting every walk of life. She was also very honest about the number of sessions he was likely to need, and didn't drag out the therapy once she felt it had succeeded. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Donatella – she is kind, approachable, friendly and an excellent counsellor – an absolute pleasure to deal with.”

“I would just like to record my thanks to Donatella for her patience and insight in counselling me through my depression over the past few months. We have decided to conclude our sessions now, but I will certainly pursue the strategies she suggested to help me understand ways of living through these current unsettling times, and should I have problems in the future I will certainly refer to her services once again. I count myself very fortunate that I was able to access help so promptly and successfully. I will add that I was only too pleased to be able to meet with Donatella again when I experienced a relapse in 2021 and her patience and insight were no doubt instrumental in helping me find compassion for myself and to gradually recover enjoyment of life once again.”

”Donatella helped me a lot. She was very kind but pushed me when I needed it, although always in a nice way. It was hard but I feel so much better now.”

“Therapy has truly changed my life and Donatella is the best therapist I have encountered. Her wisdom, experience, professionalism and support have enabled me to deal with my deep personal issues and to make real and lasting change. She has helped me to understand my difficulties and their origins and has supported me to change my patterns of behaviour and build resilience. Our sessions have helped me take control of my life in a way I hadn’t previously thought possible. I cannot recommend Donatella highly enough.”

“Donatella was recommended to me due to her wealth of experience. I have found her to be professional, supportive and very knowledgeable, which allows her to be flexible in her approach. Each session is tailored to my needs as Donatella genuinely listens to me and we then work together to set realistic tasks and goals for me to achieve. I have had counselling and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy sessions in the past but they did not provide me with tools to support my mental health in the longer term. Donatella has given me techniques that I can use to lower my anxiety, and this has helped me to move forwards. I see a positive difference in my life since having regular therapy sessions with Donatella and I would highly recommend her support to others.”
