Client Testimonals:
"Gained acceptance and closure"
I was struggling with anxiety, excessive worrying and overthinking. It felt like my brain had too many tabs open and I couldn’t concentrate on what I was doing. In therapy I learnt what the root causes of my anxiety was, & this in itself was incredibly helpful as I gained acceptance and closure through EMDR. I feel more confident in myself, and prioritize myself and my own needs. Before, I was worrying about other people to the detriment of myself. I don’t do this anymore. I feel calmer, am able to rationalize my worries into real/hypothetical thoughts, and have a bank of techniques I can use on any bad days or during moments of anxiety.
"New sense of confidence, understanding and empathy"
I have worked with Bea twice now and after every session come away with a new sense of confidence, understanding and empathy for my own situations. Bea does an amazing job at letting you figure everything out yourself with the right amount of support and assistance. I have never felt judged in any of the sessions and was truly comfortable and trusting of Bea.
"True self again"
"I was apprehensive at first but cannot believe how it has made me feel. I was worried that I had lost what made me ‘me’, but after 8 weeks I feel I have found my true self again. Beverley has been brilliant and really tailored things depending on how things were going".
"Friendly, warm environment"
"The therapy has helped me hugely. Its helped me deal with my thoughts, behaviours, mood and confidence by introducing various techniques to help them become more positive. I have recommended this service to others because a very professional, yet friendly/ warm environment has helped me deal with why I came 100%".
"learning to share more of myself with the world..."
"I feel better equipped to deal with life than I did before. I have better boundaries & can tell when a part of me is pushing me to do or avoid something out of fear or shame or imagined consequences. I can tell better when someone is being unfair to me and when I'm imagining they might be. I'm learning to share more of myself with the world in the knowledge that I can safely judge the risks of that sharing and my adult self can deal with any bad things that might happen".
"Six years down the line....helped me turn my life around"
"I went to Beverley having been diagnosed with OCD and was in a very low and desperate place. I was plagued by intrusive thoughts and unable to break the obsessive compulsive cycle. To say that Beverley helped me turn my life around is no exaggeration. From day one she was extremely open, kind and supportive, with absolutely no judgement. Something I also really valued, is that she always treated me like a normal, intelligent person. She always listened and took the time to understand my unique experience. Beverley took me through a course of CBT, using ERP techniques. This was a very collaborative effort and it felt like we were taking on the beast together. 6 years down the line I'm pleased to say that I am still able to manage my OCD well and live a relatively OCD-free life. I still use the techniques I learnt with Beverley on a regular basis. I can't recommend her enough."
"The things I have learnt I will carry forever"
"The main aim of my therapy was to help with my OCD, since therapy I have been managing so well and utilise all the skills I learnt. I am now at a place I didn't think I would ever be able to reach again. I believe this therapy has changed my life! I was in an extremely difficult place before mentally, and couldn't understand a way that I would ever feel like my old self. I've not only been helped to understand my mental illness and what can trigger me / worsen it, but also how to aid myself in recovery and how to continue doing this solo without therapy. The things I have learnt I will carry forever and will be forever thankful to Bea for how much she helped me and how much of a compassionate, non-judgemental and realistic approach was taken to everything".
"A new lease of life"
"My struggles with social anxiety have hampered many aspects of my life including my work life, relationships and friendships and it all came to ahead earlier this year. Beverley takes you on a journey of reflection and contemplation, identifying root causes and triggers as well as providing you with tools for future situations. She is non-judgmental, approachable and her experience in dealing with issues around anxiety are vast. The EMDR sessions were extremely powerful and have given me a new lease of life..."
"One of the best things I have ever done"
"I am able to compassionately support my patients at work without taking on their emotional distress, I did not have to go off work with burnout/ stress. I am more confident of myself and respecting my own feelings and needs. Bea is calmly supportive, very knowledgeable and has a way of guiding you to find solutions yourself within the sessions. She put me at ease and I always managed to have a laugh in the sessions, even after crying my eyes out! I believe that attending sessions at Creating Space Therapies is one of the best things I eve done. They have allowed me to be myself with others, respect myself and be truly compassionate"
"taught me how much I matter"
"I have been able to explore memories that felt "stuck" in a safe space; explore emotions & experiences in a way that has felt nourishing. I have so many new tools in my tool box to use when things are tough. [My life is] more vibrant, I can see that things aren't always positive or negative, they just are. It allows me to experience more variety of emotion & experiences without trying to push back. I feel able to set boundaries & care for myself with more confidence because this therapy has taught me how much I matter'"

"I was very impressed how quickly [you] picked up on my condition/ difficulties where others I had seen over the years had missed it. Each week we looked at lots of different ways to problem solve, look at the bigger picture and find ways to manage, that will continue to be useful to me from now on.

"I now have a practical toolkit to be able to manage my stress & anxiety. I have a greater understanding of how my perfectionism and procrastination add unnecessarily to my stress levels & can now recognise when this is happening. After 12 sessions I feel much more like my old self & with the insight and tools I now have I’d like to think I can become a better version of my old self living with far less stress & anxiety & focusing more on the here and now. I am really pleased with how many of my ‘issues’ we have tackled in the last 12 weeks".

"Very warm, approachable and down to earth."
" I went to see Beverley with issues relating to a lack of confidence/self esteem, over worrying & expecting a lot of myself in all areas of my life leading to anxiety & feelings of inadequacy & guilt. I have learnt to challenge previously held beliefs, accept things more & develop more positive beliefs about myself with her help & the use of a variety of techniques/approaches which all seemed to consolidate each other. Beverley is a professional with knowledge and experience in different techniques to help individuals. She is very warm, approachable & down to earth. I am really glad I chose Beverley to help me work through my difficulties. I have learnt a lot about myself and techniques to help me in the future. I felt supported throughout my therapy. It was helpful to receive follow up emails with links to resources & I would not hesitate to return if I needed help in the future".
"a trusting relationship"
"I experienced you as a very professional therapist who sets boundaries and who builds a trusting relationship with their client.

I am very appreciative of the relationship we built, I enjoyed being able to laugh with you and build on a similar sense of humour as well as talking through very difficult subjects!"
"I felt safe and secure"
"Beverley has helped me get through a really tough and confusing part of my life. EMDR was really beneficial and talking through issues with somebody I felt safe and secure with. I had an excellent relationship with Beverley, something which I’ve struggled with in the past, and she made me feel comfortable and not judged. I’m very thankful for the time, patience and care that Beverley showed. I trusted Beverley and she had improved my confidence and well being tenfold. I’d definitely see her again in the future if I had any issues, I needed help with".
"Put me at ease straight away"
"Bea was able to put me at ease straight away. There was never any pressure to be better, be fixed and therapy always went at my pace. There was a really good blend of theory and practical, the use of visuals made it easier to remember the skills and tools to use when outside of therapy".
