Testimonials
Previous counselling clients:
“My journey with Becky was just amazing. Becky was so very patient. Some weeks, all I could do was cry. She remained patient and she allowed me to release everything that was hurting. She was so kind. She would always look as though she cared - because I felt that she really did. She never ever made me feel like I was a pain. She listened. Week after week, she listened. She supported me. She offered various ways of overcoming difficulties. I felt safe enough to dig right into the dirt to share the darkest parts of my life. She encouraged me to do this...why? Because she knew it would help me to break the disgusting weight of shame and disgust I felt. It did just that. Something broke the day I shared that awful stuff and put it in the light. I eventually came to a place where I just knew that I was ok. She even offered to reconnect if I needed to.”
"I saw Becky for just under 18 months and we spoke about all facets of my life. She helped me to deal with my anxiety and feelings of inadequacy, and has given me excellent tools to move forward with my mental health journey. Through various techniques and approaches, Becky took me through so many emotions and challenges I faced but didn't know how to deal with on my own. Throughout the journey, she's enabled me to feel courage and empowerment about myself and I can't recommend her enough as a therapist; her compassion, intelligence, and integrity made the whole therapy experience comfortable and easy."
"I worked with Becky over an eighteen month period. I found the relationship to the best experience of a professional relationship I have ever had. I had struggles with figures of authority and great difficulties with trust. Becky was warm, compassionate and empathic to my needs, which allowed me to develop trust and begin having healthy relationships. She really created a space, empowering me in discovering myself by dealing with and processing the trauma and loss from my childhood. I fully endorse her professionalism, work and heart for other people. A really positive experience!"
Creative Group Therapy attendees:
“This group has been my favourite weekly appointment. It’s given my peers and myself an opportunity to express ourselves and our feelings, in a calm and peaceful place. I’ve noticed that it’s not always easy to verbalise our thoughts and feelings, but it often comes out naturally through art, creative writing, crafts etc. A very useful group!”
“It was really good to get everything that whirls around my head onto paper.”
“Creative writing sounded really daunting to me and I wouldn’t have tried it on my own as I’d have been too self-critical. But I loved doing it in this group – everyone dropped their walls and got vulnerable. Sharing together is great for relationships, I got a lot out of being heard and accepted. Sharing creativity is really therapeutic.”
Training attendees:
“This is the best training I have done in a long time. Becky was engaging, knowledgeable and her passion for the subject came across in the training. I was left feeling very upbeat, with tools and ideas for helping with and engaging with my clients, and which will also help me in my personal life. Thank you so much."
"Really good learning experience. Becky was very professional and knowledgeable and delivered the course brilliantly. Good group work and conversation, it was interesting."
"The training about addiction was excellent in providing both a broad overview of the different theories about addiction as well as giving a deeper understanding of the various mechanisms involved and treatment approaches."
Previous consultancy client:
"Becky has helped us enormously as we have sought to develop a common understanding around the theories of addiction and recovery and how these inform Yeldall Manor's unique model of recovery. Her expertise in the field of addiction has helped us to integrate the important contributions to understanding addiction that each theory brings and to articulate Yeldall Manor's approach."
