Testimonials
“Paul was quite constructive and helpful - he really took the time to understand what some of my personal struggles and issues were, and
helped move me in the right direction in resolving them :) he offered valuable feedback, and was wonderfully supportive, encouraging, and most
importantly, perceptive!”
“I just wanted to thank you again and give you a little bit of evidence of how much you helped me over that (almost) year :) You got to see me at my worst and I guess the nature of your job means you won't see me at my best but I really want you to know what a difference you made. This time last year I was probably at the lowest I'd been and was convinced I was going to fail out of my degree and now I'm doing so many things that I had convinced myself I would never be able to do.
I'm loving living in the flat away from home and I actually ended up getting a summer internship after all. I've started cooking healthy meals and going to the gym regularly and probably feel the best I ever have (turns out some of the advice you gave was right...). I think towards our last sessions I just got my Christmas exam marks back and was relieved to have passed... I actually got a first in all my summer exams.”
