I was unsure about counselling.... Avril is a caring counsellor who fully understands how difficult it is to open up... I have been with Avril for around 6 months I cannot emphasise how life changing this has been.
Avril is very caring and helps you understand how to deal with life events.
Avril makes you see how you can take control of your stressed situations....
Best thing I have ever done.

Avril has acted as the foundation to the progress I have made with my mental health over the last 8 months or so; Avril has provided me with a new sense of security whilst simultaneously shining light on dark places, some of which I did not even know existed. We have worked together to conquer the challenges I face both big and small, I can proudly say she has not just been my confidant but a true friend and ally. If you have any doubts about moving forward with a Therapist, I could not possibly recommend any person more than Avril Golding to remove those doubts within your first free appointment.

My sessions started with Avril a few months ago, I was initially nervous having visisted previous counsellors in the past who were far from professional or caring.
My first session with Avril was very "healing"., Avril is an amazing person who is dedicated to her career and passionate about helping people. She connects with each client
in a very unique way making them feel special and worthy of life . Avril is a good listener and has the ability to digest information and then produce a platform from which to work from. Our sessions are evidently productive as each week unfolds.
Avril is the only counsellor I feel confident in recommending.

Avril has been a life saver for me! In the past I have tried a number of counsellors but have never felt comfortable. Avril set me at ease immediately, I felt connected, understood, and most importantly - respected. Avril has given me the tools to view my life from a new perspective and in doing so she has enabled me to tackle and overcome many issues that were preventing me from truly being present in my life. She is a caring and compassionate person with an incredible ability to connect with her client whilst maintaining professional boundaries. Avril provides me with the support I desperately need and I am forever grateful for that. I will always recommend her to others, whether it is for big problems, small bumps in the road, or simply dealing with the pressures of every day life - Avril has a remarkable ability to listen, empathise, and guide me in the right direction. I always leave her sessions feeling refreshed, energized and positive. Such a special soul who gives herself to others without question!

There are no words to describe how amazing Avril and her work is. She helped and guided me through so much and I can honestly say I do not know where I would today, had I not met her.

There is no problem too big or too small for Avril. She has this amazing skill of being able to create both personal and professional relationships with her clients, which for me, really worked as I felt so at ease with her. I felt like I was speaking to a human being, not a robotic therapist (my personal experience in the past).

She creates an open and safe environment for you, which naturally allows you to be able to trust and also to speak and work through your feelings freely.

I've recommend Avril to some friends who were also able to work through some issues with her and they couldn't be happier!

Thank you so much Avril, I'll never forget how you helped me and helped shape the person I am today. Keep shining bright, you're an incredible woman.
