What my clients say...
"Help when no one else would listen. Treated at all times with total compassion and respect.
Thank you so much for your help and support."

 “Faced my fears, was accepted and I value my self more now. Being heard and understood, I feel stronger in mind and know I have the right to be. Jan was a rock to come to once a week, a safe place.
A place to reflect and understand. A gradual realisation through the weeks.”

“As a long-term client of Jan's, our work together has guided me towards greater peace of mind and perspective, supporting me in developing skills and behaviours that allow me to better face the challenges of my daily life and to take steps towards my future goals. Jan provides a calm, compassionate and accepting space, and she knows just when and how to challenge me. I can honestly say I wouldn't be where I am in my life without the work I have done with Jan, and I will only ever be grateful that I found her.”

“Through talking to Jan, I feel I can see issues more clearly – and how to resolve difficulties.
I wish I’d met Jan earlier.”
“Jan’s compassion and understanding has been wonderful. What started out as a very painful process has been something I actually look forward to each week. I cannot thank Jan enough for being there to help me through the most difficult time in my life. It’s certainly been a journey with bumps along the way- and can’t recommend her highly enough.”

"The most helpful aspect was making sense of where I am in life and why I felt the way I did, it isn't a fuzzy mess or fog any more. It was hard making that first step but so worth it. The sessions were helpful but also tough - I confronted lots of emotions and feelings I had no idea were there. I had no idea how to choose a counsellor but am so glad I chose Jan."

"Jan provides the environment and behaviours for a healthy and boundaried therapeutic relationship. In person or online I am treated with care, compassion and challenge where needed, and this has been invaluable to me. I have addressed many of the biggest challenges in life though my sessions with Jan. They have included trauma, PTSD, bereavement, bullying, loss of work, difficulties in relationships and friendships and building resilience and sense of self, through the ups and downs life brings. I highly recommend working through issues with Jan." 

“The service was professional, efficient and everything counselling should be … first class. I explored my difficulties, searched through them in a safe, trusting place and it was worth the pain, soul searching … a life changing experience.”

“In my opinion Jan Royle is an excellent counsellor, we have always worked together in a very strong partnership. As a result of this it has enabled me as the client to gain the insight l have needed to work through my very complex psychological problems. My journey with Jan is allowing me to manage in the outside world and from our very first session till present, it has been life changing.”

“I first went to see Jan, 6 years ago, after suffering with anxiety in the workplace which was starting to take over other areas of my life. The work we’ve done together has helped me find my voice and given me the confidence to make life decisions I would never have felt possible before. I would highly recommend Jan, she instantly made me feel very comfortable and understood. I never hesitate to get in touch if I feel I need to.”

“I would highly recommend Jan Royle for EMDR and counselling. I have tried counselling before, and did not find it that helpful. Jan listens so well it makes me feel understood and she has a lovely, warm nature which leaves me feeling like my life is making progress after each session. The EMDR has changed my life forever and has been very effective in helping me resolve my feelings towards long standing issues that I have suffered with for many many years. I hope that if you are reading this review, you will find the same life changing experience with Jan."
