Testimonials

I found therapy very fulfilling. As a man who lost both his wife and daughter to cancer within twelve months of each other the grief that I experienced has been at times unbearable, and without the kindness and support of the therapists I doubt whether I would have made it through. As a man dealing with grief, it is especially hard. If I can advise any other fellow in my situation - don't give up! Talking to a female therapist helps as your men friends cant help you!

Firstly I would like to say Hannah was a great help and she’s really helped me in loads of aspects and given me a different look on a lot of situations. I would highly recommend her to anyone ex or currently in the military and to just anyone in general going through problems in their life. She’s given me a different perspective on things and it’s definitely for the good. She should be very proud of herself for helping me get out the dark path I was on and for helping me realise a lot of things about my self.

Toby, Newcastle

It’s hard to put in to words. I could never thank Hannah enough. She has literally changed my life and all for the better. All of the problems I was having I now have a really good insight into, and a really good insight into how I got to the place I was in. I see everything from a different perspective now and think very differently about things. I feel like going forward I have everything I need and I’m confident I won’t get into that place again, but if I did I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up the phone and book in for an appointment. I think it might be the single greatest thing I’ve ever done.

I would like to say that throughout my treatment I found Matilda to be a highly competent, compassionate, professional who in my opinion give me my life back, and for that I will be forever grateful.

Phil, Tynemouth

I would like to thank your team for their professionalism and kindness whilst I recently attended your clinic. Tammy, you have taken me through one of the most difficult times of my life. I am a strong individual normally, but the physical and mental issues I have endured over the past year and a half nearly beat me. I can not thank you enough, I know I still have challenges ahead but I look forward to dealing with them head on with perspective, honesty and kindness.

Michelle, Houghton-le-Spring

I’ve been doing really well since our sessions, if you remember our sessions then you’ll appreciate how much of a big step it was when I went down to London on the train a few months ago, for a week. I wouldn’t have managed this without the help you gave me and I’m sure I’ll do more travelling in the future. I loved our sessions and couldn’t thank you more.

Jonny, Newcastle

Matilda has always been highly professional, easy to engage and work with. She has supported and encouraged me throughout a sometimes difficult and challenging journey and enabled me to move away from my comfort zone, towards a better quality of life/being. I thank her and highly recommend her as a Clinical Psychologist and Therapist.

Susan, North Shields

I strongly believe that the therapy has benefited my everyday life. I have had a dog phobia since childhood, which has prevented me from being around any dog. Since the therapy, I can now confidently visit my sister and friend's house (who have dogs) and not worry about being in the company of their dogs. In fact, I look forward to seeing the dogs. I can also walk down a street or an open area without extreme anxiety or being on the lookout for dogs. I would highly recommend my psychologist and the office has been very helpful and approachable.

Anonymous, Tynemouth

I just wanted to say the service you offered was amazing.

The office staff couldn’t have been more helpful and were always happy to help. They responded quickly and the person I initially spoke to put me at ease straight away and was wonderful. Any problems were always dealt with quickly.

Ellen was amazing and I cannot thank her enough.

Thank you for all of your help and I would always recommend you

Anne, Online

Please can you pass on my thanks to Dr Davison as he was superb in helping me reflect on and manage my mental health and I would highly recommend him for his bespoke, careful and detailed management.

John, works in healthcare

I saw Ellen for the first time in January 2023 after a heartbreaking breakup. Monthly appointments with her kept me going through the initial half of the year, and I was able to manage on an appointment every two months after that. Ellen also referred me to a practitioner in a different field for further support. I'm now a lot better & have learned a lot about myself. I feel more able to navigate dating and life in general, with my issues. If I ever need to go through this process again, I'm hoping Ellen will be there.

I have recently completed a course of therapy at Select Psychology. A prolonged period of insomnia following some major life changes was causing problems for myself and my family. I needed help but didn’t know where to turn. My daughter suggested Select Psychology. I was uncertain and hesitated, but am now so glad that I accepted my daughter’s advice.

The psychologist I saw (Caroline Murphy) was warm, kind, patient and reassuring and I felt immediately that I could trust her. She listened and I felt I heard. Gradually, making full use of her professional training, knowledge and experience, she helped me to many insights and self understanding. This enabled me to make adjustments to my thinking and self perception, and consequently, to the way I approached each new day. I am now able to actively enjoy life again and look forward to each day.

I feel so much happier and lighter. I can now feel excited and optimistic about things. I laugh a lot more and I am really noticeably able to handle things that would previously have lead me to spiral, with a much more positive outlook. I feel so free compared to before being trapped in my head of negative thinking. Looking back I really hadn't realised how bad I'd let myself get, and it's only now I know there was no need for me to living that way. Alison helped me to understand my core beliefs, where they have come from and how they effect me and most importantly how I can shrink down the bad ones and know that I deserve more from myself. This has had such a positive effect on my day to day life, which has inspired people close to me and that makes me feel even more grateful that I completed the therapy.

1. I feel I have more insight to who I am, that I am normal just wired a bit differently, that it's ok to be me and feel as I do. Clarke has allowed me to give myself freedom to enjoy life and take control over it. Through diagnosis of likely triggers for my behaviour I am more accepting and able to manage why and how I think in day to day life. This is all positive.

2. I am more relaxed, not anxious and feel emotions that are not scary. My family have noticed the changes already.

3. Your services are amazing, I should have come for help sooner. I feel safe in the knowledge that the door is always open. Clarke is a very approachable, friendly, calming professional who I would always recommend. He is amazing at his role.
