Testimonials

 

"I would like to place on record my highest gratitude and recommendation for Isaac, my

therapist, who has been fantastic throughout the whole process. Isaac has been nothing but

kind, understanding and helpful from start to finish and has helped me achieve all the goals I

set out when starting these sessions. I cannot recommend him highly enough as both a

professional and as a person – I will miss our weekly sessions, which I think says it all.

Thanks again, Isaac!" 

 

"my experience with Isaac in particular was excellent. He is a very thoughtful, caring individual, and someone who was meant to be

a therapist, made all the more better by his calming voice and “bedside” manner. He is a

credit to the profession and I will absolutely seek him out should I need his help in future."

 

"Isaac was very sympathetic, and I felt understood right away. The session really helped me to work through my issues. Overall it

has helped me to understand my feelings and face future challenges easier. My therapist

gave great guidance and worked with me to get to a suitable solution. I felt like, although not

involved directly, he clearly understood the different challenges immediately and addressed

this during the sessions appropriately. It was overall emotional but still a quite enjoyable

experience. It felt very much like moving forward with him together instead of being stuck. In

fact I have already recommended this service to others as I thought it was a very good

experience.

Thank you very much. "

 

"At first, I didn’t have a great experience with the service due to the assessor making

predictions about my current medical state. However, Isaac made me feel like I wanted to try

again and restored my faith in therapy. He shows genuine compassion and helped me to do

the same."

 

"Isaac has been a great listener

which is what I find most valuable, a place to unburden. He was good at validating my

feelings or offer an alternative view where appropriate."

 

"Isaac has been instrumental in helping me understand, reframe, and navigate my thoughts

and emotions in a healthier and more constructive way.

When I first started therapy, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect and, if I'm honest, I didn't

have particularly high expectations. What followed was a journey of self-discovery that

helped me unpack layers of thoughts, feelings, and experiences that I had carried for years

without fully understanding them.

Through our sessions, Isaac helped me challenge longstanding assumptions, reframe my

priorities, and develop a healthier perspective on both myself and my relationships with

others. As a result, I feel far less conflicted in how I navigate the world around me and far

more at peace with who I am internally.

It is genuinely difficult to put into words the impact Isaac has had on my life. He helped me

find clarity where there was confusion and gave voice to truths that, deep down, I feel I

should have been telling myself for a long time. Sometimes, what we need most is someone

who can help us listen to our own inner voice with compassion and honesty.

I am incredibly grateful that our paths crossed when they did. Isaac's support came into my

life at exactly the right moment, and I will always view meeting him as one of those rare,

serendipitous collisions that quietly but profoundly change the course of your life."

 

"It was generally a good experience, giving me some perspectives and work to reflect with.

Thank you Isaac"

 

"Issac was fantastic, I found him extremely professional and would recommend him to F&F if

they could pick their own therapist and I’d be happy to speak to Isaac again if I need to use

counselling again."

 

"Isaac was very collaborative and supportive and definitely provided me with insight that I will

try to utilize to better my life and relationships."

 

 "Isaac was fabulous. He’s attentive and truly listened to me which made me feel at ease

talking to him each week. He reminded me of my worth and abilities in myself which isn’t

always the case with some therapists! As a black British-Caribbean woman, he allowed my

cultural nuances to be discussed at length which helped me feel seen and heard. Would be

a privilege to have him as my therapist in the future if ever possible."

 

"Isaac was absolutely brilliant. Before I started the counselling I felt like I was at the top of a

ski jump and hanging on grimly with little control of whether I was going to plummet. Isaac is

one of the few people that has been able to hear what my underlying issues are and to

provide me with a better understanding of how I’d got myself into the position I found myself

in. As such not only did he really help me by hearing me, but he also enabled me to

understand what I need to do to improve my own situation. As such the counselling

sessions for me were absolutely outstanding. People who know me well are talking about

how I’ve changed (for the better).

I really have nothing but praise for Isaac and I can’t thank him enough for what he’s done for

me."

 

"I was unsure about having counselling on line via Zoom but Isaac really put me at ease and I was very comfortable with the sessions. I felt listened to and well supported in challenging some of my thinking"

 

"Isaac is an excellent therapist, and I sensed immediately that I was in safe hands.  Not only is Isaac extremely professional and reliable but I also found him to be very caring towards me. It's never easy opening up to a complete stranger about how you're feeling or discussing very personal matters close to your heart, but I was always made to feel totally at ease during our sessions and most importantly, I never felt judged about anything that I said. 

Even when expected, losing a loved one can be totally devasting. When feeling overwhelmed with tiredness, loneliness, sadness, grief, anger and despair, it can be really, really difficult making any sense of how to move on with your life. It can be difficult to think straight at times, and to focus on day-to-day tasks. Talking through things with Issac helped me to re-focus, re-evaluate and to very slowly move forwards. I cried many times during our sessions, but we also laughed, but most importantly at the end of each session, I always felt that I took away a positive or something new to think about. 

Grief is a process, of which I'm working through, but having Isaac support me during those very early raw weeks and months was so helpful. I will always be eternally grateful to Isaac for all of his support and for his part in this very personal journey."

"Isaac truly helped me to pull me out of a dark place after a family bereavement that caused me to become withdrawn and depressed. Isaac encouraged me to take one day at a time and I am starting to get back my life again. He is warm and empathic, and I felt supported. I cannot thank him enough"

 

"I was at a very low point that was effecting my mood, self-esteem and confidence. I often put myself down and found it hard to have any self-compassion. I knew deep inside that something wasn’t right but I did not know what is was but with Isaac's help I was able to get to the root cause of my problems. Isaac provided me with some coping strategies and I’m in a much better place and feeling more positive with self-love. I would definitely recommend Isaac"

 

"Isaac has helped me to work through some childhood trauma and shame that I carried with me from my past. As a man, I found it difficult talking about my feelings or problems as I had to always appear strong and not show vulnerability, but I found Isaac really easy to talk to and this has allowed me to work through some really tough experiences with him. He helped me identify the root cause of my my original problem and to be forgiving. Isaac provided me with a safe space to explore my problems without feeling judged nor shamed. I would highly recommend Isaac to all the men, who may be feeling reluctant about seeking therapy"

 

" After a long battle with cancer and feeling hopeless, Isaac gave me the chance to talk about my feelings and I felt uplifted each session as he encouraged me to take one day at a time.

"I have been working with Isaac for over a year and as a student his reduced student rate and flexibility made the sessions more affordable and I was able to attend evening sessions via zoom when possible. Isaac really helped me overcome my anxiety and depression, that I have been suffering with for many years"

 

"Isaac has been fantastic in supporting us as our relationship was at the point of breaking. We both felt we could trust him and he has helped us so much with our relationship and we now communicate better with each other. Our relationship now feels more fulfilling and we don't think we would be in such a good place without him"

 

"Talking to Isaac helped me to reflect on my high expectations which often made me feel worthless and not good enough. I was in a complicated relationship which made me feel guilty, shamed and could not stop blaming myself. I was able to be myself with Isaac and tell him about the things that are really upsetting me. Isaac was always present, he listened to me without making me feel ashamed or judged and I felt safe to share my secrets with him. Isaac has guided me through self-forgiveness and acceptance and I feel more at peace with myself"

 

"Isaac is friendly, empathetic and professional.  He prods you in a gentle way with his questions which makes you reflect and allows you to get to the bottom and deconstruct difficult areas of your life. Since working with Isaac I now have more self-awareness and more knowledge of how my negative thoughts affect my moods. I am now able to challenge my negative thoughts and I am mindful not to catastrophise things. I now have a more positive mindset and I am able to celebrate every little win and I am proud of myself. I would strongly recommend Isaac to anyone who always puts themselves down and show no compassion"

"As a man, I thought counselling was for the weak but I got to a point in my life where I felt desperate as I was feeling anxious and depressed. I was encouraged by a friend to try counselling  and I reluctantly decided to try Isaac. Isaac was very approachable, non judgmental and I felt comfortable sharing my problems with him. He is a great listener who normalised and validated my feelings and provided me with some coping strategies. I will recommend Isaac as a therapist"

 

"Isaac gets it. He is warm, genuine and professional. I felt at ease talking to him and he helped me to discover my true self as i have always been a people pleaser. I now have so much self-awareness and I am less critical towards myself. I am still learning to prioritise myself but I feel empowered and I cannot thank Isaac enough"

 

"I was a bit apprehensive whether counselling was for me but I felt safe talking to Isaac about my problems. I did not realise how much I had suppressed until I started talking with Isaac. He gave me space to talk which is probably what I needed and he listened with compassion and empathy. Thank you Isaac for all the support"

 

"When I got diagnosed with cancer I felt scared, anxious, lonely, hopeless and even guilty for putting my family through this. It's hard to put in words how much Isaac has helped through such a difficult time and I just want to say thank you for being very supportive and compassionate"
