Sula's knowledge and experience are really valuable, she is very intuitive and picks up on small things I say which I don’t realise have significance and has more insights into them. I feel listened to and understood and appreciate my sessions being personal and tailored to my needs. Starting sessions with sula has made a big difference to my recovery and I only wish I had started it sooner."

Client with chronic UTI
This was my first experience of therapy and I am so glad I found Sula. She is extremely good at what she does and helped me to pinpoint the issues I was facing and to provide really effective ways to manage them and to shift my perspective. I looked forward to our sessions and found them really effective in a short time."

Client with colitis
It felt like a safe space to share what was on my mind and my experiences. It felt really good to have someone who was properly listening to me and validating my emotions. I mentioned some things to Sula that I had never mentioned to anyone and it helped remove some of the shame, which is very helpful. I never felt judged when I was speaking to Sula, even though it was quite hard at times."
