Summer Therapy

I can’t recommend Laine highly enough. I reached out on Bark when I was really struggling. Last year was a really tough year for me and I was feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope. My health, self confidence and relationships were suffering.
As soon as Laine contacted me, I felt her support and understanding. It was nice to know there was someone there to listen and give me help and honest and open advice.
It took around 2 months of weekly sessions, but I am now in a much happier place. Laine helped me process what I was going through and get me back to the old me. Actually, not the old me, but a better version of me!
I honestly can’t thank her enough. I am forever grateful! ☺️ More...

I am so glad that I was recommended to get in touch with Laine a few months ago when I was ready to start my therapy journey. From the very first call Laine has made me feel at ease, she is very honest and truly wants the best for you. I have learnt, and continue to learn so much about myself and I can honestly say the sessions have had such a positive impact on my life. The entire experience continues to be truly empowering and I can’t recommend highly enough! More...

Laine was the perfect counsellor for us as we struggled with our relationship during the pandemic. She is so down-to-earth, and can deal with whatever you throw at her with insights into behaviour, habits and conditioning that result in aha moments and real change. We are in a great place now, and very grateful for all her invaluable help. More...

I was contacted promptly after my initial enquiry and the same day had a free telephone conversation . I have booked my first appointment later this week .

We came to Laine as our marriage was at rock bottom. Laine helped us get back to basics and to build our relationship back up. The improvement in a short time has been amazing and has really helped us individually as well as a couple. Can’t thank Laine enough. More...

We are having sessions with Laine and she has helped us so much! Our relationship was in a bad place and she has helped us by giving us the tools to change our behaviour to improve ourselves and our relationship. She is amazing!

I have been working with Laine for over a year now and I genuinely couldn’t thank her enough for all her patience and time. Laine can be the wake up call you really need when trying to break old habits and routines with relationships, romantic or not. Could never thank her enough, eternally grateful. More...

Laine is an amazing relationship counsellor. I have struggled for years in my marriage and have had two previous experiences with terrible counsellors, but Laine has helped me work through my situation. I can’t begin to thank her enough, I couldn’t have done it without her. More...

I’ve only had one session so it’s hard to review at present

I found Summer Therapy to be a great benefit to Jan and myself when we were going through a really bad time in our relationship. Laine doesn't mess around and will tell you like it is, even if it's hard to take. It's a real wake up call when you need it. She's really passionate about her work and takes a professional pride in helping people sort out their problems. More...

David and I had been struggling with our relationship so turned to Summer Therapy for help. What a difference we have seen. Laine is straight forward and tells it like it is which is exactly what we needed. We are at the start of a new chapter in our relationship and look forward to continue going from strength to strength. More...

Counselling has been my life for the past six months. Contacting Laine due to extreme unforeseen, unexpected deterioration of my father's health, resulting with extreme mental health problems and anxiety, affecting my capacity to focus and concentrate not only within work but socially as well. Led to a journey which opened up a whole new understanding of what I was missing. During this time I was bought to life through sessions which opened old challenging wounds yet provided me with the character, person that I am today. Thus a changed woman appeared. Far more understanding and certainly free of almost all of my old demons. Laine is a wonder, 'par excellence!' More...

I used the therapy after struggling with grief for two years following the loss of a loved one. The therapy has really helped me to understand my thoughts and feelings and help me feel clearer and happier in myself. Would highly recommend!

Skeptical about the whole therapy thing at first though after the very first session we have came on leaps and bounds, Laine helped us really both individually and as a couple! After a few sessions we have never been stronger, saved our relationship! Thanks Laine x More...

Summer therapy has been absolutely incredible for my partner and I. Liane is so down to earth and easy to connect with - my partner and I had a bad experience with therapy in the past and Liane has really changed our perspective on this. My partner and I are in the best place we have ever been since having our therapy sessions with Liane! I could not recommend Summer Therapy enough ☺️ More...

My partner and I have both found it very easy to work with Summer Therapy. Laine is easy to speak to and very open. She is non-judgmental and made it easy to reflect on issues. The sessions are led by the client and have been a great help. I would have no hesitation at all in wholeheartedly recommending Summer Therapy. More...

After an emotional break up my life was in turmoil. I was struggling to vocalise and comprehend what had happened and where to go next.
I can say with a hand on my heart, without Laine I would still be lost.
Compassionate, yet straight to the point - I can guarantee you will not be disappointed using her services.
Make the call - it will be the best thing you ever did! More...

I found it helpful to be able to say how my partners actions caused pain anger mistrust and anxiety but my partner could not be so open and found the session more difficult

I found my sessions with Laine to be very helpful as she is easy to talk to. She really is good at getting to the point and will be very honest. Her ability to give advice and ideas quickly in a thoughtful manner were good so you do feel you are accomplishing things with
her. More...

I found it helpful but my partner felt under attack

I contacted Laine at a time I was in desperate need for answers. I was going round and round in circles and my mind wasn't able to provide any way out. Throughout our sessions, Laine empowered me to reflect on my life in a way I didn't know was possible. More than just listening, the most valuable aspect of our sessions was the questions she asked me. She seemed to see right through the issues and figure out exactly what I had to ask myself in order to see the bigger picture. I would often be surprised by her questions, taken aback, and realise how meaningful my answer was going to be for what we were trying to figure out. My sessions with Laine were the most valuable hours I had this year in terms of self-growth, self-care, and knowing how to make better decisions. I always thought I was quite self aware and had a good understanding of who I was. But there were hidden layers that I could only discover through a profound dialogue with someone as experienced as Laine to connect the dots, see a pattern, and make me think about my issues from a completely different angle. Today, I carry the lessons I've learned with her with me and I feel at peace with my past, and empowered about my future. Thank you so much Laine. More...

I have been having therapy sessions with Laine for a few weeks now. I can honestly say that she has built up my self esteem and self worth. I have always been a person who listens and helps everyone else, but know with my own personal life, I hold things in. She has made me realise that it’s okay to say how I feel, and not feel I’m burdening others when I do. She has given me strength, helping me through a very long, on going and painful divorce. I look forward to off loading in my sessions, and not feeling bad when I do. I still have a long way to go, as I’m still holding lots of feelings inside, causing anxiety, and huge doubts. Laine is very clever and experienced, and is gradually breaking my barriers down. I would highly recommend Laine, with her vast experience. More...

Laine has provided a relaxed environment, where I have been able to speak freely without judgement. This has been essential for me to manage through some personal difficulties.
Laine has been full of good advice, helped me reflect and provide constructive ways in which to deal with difficult people.
I couldn’t recommend Laine enough! More...

I had 3 sessions with Laine and they were so helpful. She helped me to work through some really difficult stuff and helped me to overcome low mood and anxiety I was experiencing because of my trauma; I would highly recommend her. She was flexible with how many sessions I wanted to do and when I wanted to do them. She gave me some great coping mechanisms to take away with me.

I finally feel like I can move on with my life because of her help. More...

It was my first session wasn’t sure what to expect but I found it very helpful to talk to someone neutral, laine was very helpful and nice to open up to , look forward to future sessions

6 months ago, the thought of having counselling sent shivers down my spine! I just couldn't see myself doing it. My attitude towards it was ‘ I’m not having a stranger telling me how i feel, what do they know about me! ’. Well, after 10 or so sessions with Laine i can honestly say that I'm so glad i went ahead with it. It’s completely changed my outlook on my marriage and some aspects of my life. It really has worked for me. I can highly recommend Laine. She has helped save my marriage so I’m so happy that i went ahead with this! Thanks Laine :) More...

The consultation I had with Laine was very professional yet empathetic. She really knows the field well and I look forward to continuing sessions with her.

Laine has had a very positive impact on my mental health over the last 8 weeks. Really easy to talk to as she listens so well, and gives great insight drawing from a vast array of experiences and knowledge. She challenges and supports in equal measure and throws herself into every session as though it's her only session of the day. I'll be keeping them going to maintain what feels like a renewed lease of life. More...

I've only had one session but Summer is Professional and to the point with good advice which is what I need right now.

Really helpful, kind and supportive, during a difficult period. Laine helped my realise my worth, put up boundaries and work though my problem in a safe, supported way. I can 100% say it has changed my life, and I feel great.

Going to pop back to Laine every few months for a check in and 'MOT' for sure. More...

Laine helped me to see things from a different perspective and to be mindful of my own feelings and reactions. Thanks to Laine, I have developed really useful strategies. I now feel more positive and can see a clear way forward. Thank you so much Laine! More...

It has been wonderful to work with Laine on my relationship - the reason for contacting her. Her many years of experience make her a very intuitive and insightful counsellor, and we're on the journey to ironing out a number of issues as a result.

Truly wonderful. Laine is the best

Laine has helped me so much over the past couple of months with numerous issues I've brought to her. She's helped me not only with relationship troubles but also personal troubles. She's helped me deal with my anxiety in a huge way and has also introduced me to meditation which has also had a truly positive impact on my life. I couldn't recommend Laine enough, she's fantastic. More...

I have found Laine’s sessions very helpful, not only relationship counselling but also doing it alone. Speaking with Laine I feel that I’ve been supported by her and given the tools needed in order to move forward. Can’t thank you enough for your help. I would totally recommend her! More...

I would strongly recommend Laine's help to anyone who feels they may have lost their way. Laine helped us to see our problems a little clearer and put things right

Laine has really helped us put things into perspective, offered insightful observations around our personalities and how these traits influence the dynamics of our relationship and enabled us to come with some strategies to begin tackling our problems. It’s been hard work but Liane has held the space confidently and allowed is both to feel heard. Highly recommended! More...
