“Ashleigh is always positive, empathetic and supportive. She is able to view the situations/emotions we discuss in a more nuanced way by adapting her perspective to align with my experience. I am always impressed by the degree of detail which she is able to recall naturally within conversation, which makes me feel that she is really hearing what I'm saying and making the effort to understand me holistically as a person. This means that during our conversations, the subjects of which can vary significantly, Ashleigh is able to connect the matter at hand to different situations/emotions discussed previously. Even when we begin to address a 'new' topic in our sessions, it is clear to me that Ashleigh considers what we have discussed as she often returns with reading suggestions for me! Overall, I feel that Ashleigh strives to create an environment where I feel understood and heard.”

“Therapy has impacted my life greatly - I have seen a vast improvement in my mental health and can navigate my emotions with confidence. I have felt seen and heard without judgement throughout my sessions, and couldn’t be more thankful for the support I have been given!”
“For the second time during a time of extreme difficulty wonderful Alison Harper has helped me beyond measure. She listens and understands and has useful workable solutions. Apart from relieving immediate distress she has helped my reframe my outlook and future planning. So apart from help I knew I needed I have had help that I was not aware I was in need of. Thank you thank you.”
“Sara is an exceptional therapist, and has been fundamental in enabling me to move towards an understanding of the trauma I have experienced, and a quality of life which I could never have envisaged without stumbling into her office some years ago. She is extremely kind, sensitive, professional, intelligent... a truly gifted therapist, and someone I owe a fulfilling life to... and to the wider clinical team with whom I have also had interaction... a deep and sincere thank you.”
“Emma is so kind and welcoming and always makes me feel completely at ease. She creates a comfortable environment that I always feel safe in and can speak to her about absolutely anything. Emma’s knowledge and professionalism is outstanding and her help and advice has been life changing due to her care and attention as well as the time she has taken to listen to me, get to know me and understand what’s going on.”
“Finding a therapist that I felt comfortable with was difficult until I met Alison. Alison has helped me in ways I can’t explain. Was so lucky to find a therapist that has worked with similar mental health conditions to mine to which has had a real positive impact on my therapy sessions with her. I’ve always felt heard, understood and comfortable going to Alison about anything that’s been troubling me. Thank you for being so supportive 🙏🏼”
“Dr Harper is a leading light when it comes to medicolegal instruction. Her reports are always thorough, clear and considered. She is very well respected within both her own profession, but also the legal profession and with good reason. Her reports are easily understood by both clients and solicitors alike and she gets to the heart of the issue quickly. It is a privilege to be able to call upon her opinion”.
