I have lived with terrible anxiety and nervousness around other people for years, and it finally got to a stage after starting a stressful new job in lockdown where I felt I desperately needed help. Marta has completely changed my mindset on how I perceive myself and others around me. She helped me understand why I have the anxieties that I do, and by understanding them, I began to overcome them. She has definitely changed my life for the better, and given me tools that I can carry through my life.

I started having sessions with Marta in 2016, during a turbulent period in my life. She helped me find inner strength and confidence. This allowed me to make difficult decisions, which would otherwise have been impossible. During the therapy, I have had the freedom to discuss everything about me. After each session, I have felt happier. Initially, I had regular sessions. As I have got better, Marta has been amazing providing sessions when things have got too much at home or at work or during COVID. I would massively recommend her to help you if you are going through a bad patch in your life. You will come out of your session in a happier frame of mind and at peace with yourself.
