“A truly great therapist is hard to find, difficult to part with, and impossible to forget. I appreciate your efforts and care. Your help will stay in my heart forever. Most of all I appreciate your professional care. Thank you for your compassionate heart and I am grateful for you being my therapist.”

“Rafaela gave me so much confidence and strength to get me to see good in myself. I had many issues and still have, some are going to take time to mend and heal but counselling really helped me in my road to recovery. I can now start making better decisions for a positive, fulfilling and brighter future. I can actually say I’m beginning to like myself as a person, which I couldn’t have done a few years ago.”

“I have attended therapy with Rafaela for few months now and I cannot recommend her enough. When I started attending sessions in August 2018, I was experiencing anxiety and extremely low moods and I didn’t know how to deal with them most of the time. Rafaela helped me recognise  where those feelings were coming from and to notice what triggers my low moods. I am now able to recognise  the patterns that are unhealthy and manage my low moods better with each session. I am more aware of myself now and I no longer have a need to define myself by my past and my issues. I definitely have more positive outlook on life and I am no longer a toxic person to be around. Rafaela helped me realise that I can have a future and a good one too.”

“Rafaela is a passionate, creative and warm practitioner. She is very good at engaging people and supporting them through difficult times.
Anyone working with Rafaela will get a counsellor who is committed to their journey and will be there all the way. She combines warmth and a non judgemental attitude with creativity and kindness.”

“During my time supervising Rafaela’s work, she undoubtedly impressed all of us with her skills, experience and passion for the work delivered.
Rafaela always has the client’s best interest at the heart of all she does. With empathy, regard for each individual’s journey, and with creativity, she empowers each person to reach their goals, and indeed their potential. Caring and enthusiastic, Rafaela has always received excellent feedback from clients, who have often commented on how life changing their sessions were. A great therapist indeed.”

“I was Rafaela’s clinical supervisor earlier in her career. At this time, I was struck by how professional, respectful, caring and creative she was in her counselling and therapeutic work. She works hard to help her clients to find a good way forward, whatever their situation, and has received wonderful feedback and messages of thanks from those she has helped. I would heartily recommend Rafaela to anyone who is struggling with difficulties in their lives or who wants to find a new direction. She will accept who you are, she will aim to understand how you got to where you are and she will help facilitate the changes you need to make moving forward. In her kind and lovely way.”
