Family planning counselor

I've known Katherine for a long time and she is absolutely AMAZING. Super knowledgeable and just a massive help to anyone struggling with fertility.

I cannot recommend this counsellor, as her counselling skills appear questionable, for the following reasons:· Inability to show any compassion when I described the challenges I had faced this a.m. to get to her, after she had changed the appointment to an hour earlier· Confuses 'constructive criticism' with 'aggression'· Confuses a 'preference' with a 'refusal'– my preference was face to face, rather than online, at least initially· Appears to have no insight into other people’s challenges, described to her e.g. being a carer, etc. Admittedly if you are not familiar with certain life challenges, then it’s best just to listen to your client & look it up later?.....· Jumps to conclusions far too quickly, for a counsellorOn top of which she appears disorganised & unprofessional, for the following reasons:· Offered times she was available & then had booked the session she offered me, so had to rearrange my session· Advised she only worked Mon & Fri, yet she offered me Wednesday evening as well & then advised she also works Thursday evenings, but was full· Advised she would have to finish at 10:50 when it was already 11:10 & when I suggested this was incorrect, her response, given she is a counsellor, was disappointing. Counsellors usually explore why you are saying something, rather than being defensive & justifying your mistake. What’s wrong with a ‘oops, sorry yes'· Wasn’t prepared to & didn’t answer my call, when I was 5 minutes late, because I was struggling to find her venue.· Wasn’t prepared to & didn’t answer my door knocks, instead I waited outside her house for 5 minutes & then had no option but to loudly rattle her letterbox, as there was no door bell & the door knocker was covered in decorative & other stuff, so not usable.· Decided to mop her floor just before I arrived, rather than answering her phone or being ready to listen out for the door. Clearly no idea on Health & Safety or the responsibilities associated with Public LiabilityAngie’s interaction with me, as a flustered person having just dealt with some major challenges, before I arrived, was far from ideal for a counsellor. Her interaction with me after I text her my feedback was also far from ideal for a counsellor; she clearly wasn’t interested in the constructive feedback & blocked me. It’s no skin off my nose, but does demonstrate Angie’s need to brush up on her skills set & quality of service provision.I made the mistake (for which I take full responsibility) of assuming she was local & then when I realised she wasn’t, advised her that I would need to explore (with her) other options, such as online, different days, etc. for ongoing weekly sessions. This exploration opportunity was abruptly taken away by Angie.All in all, a very disappointing experience and a total waste of my already very limited & highly valuable timeWhilst it's good to hear Angie has some more positive reviews, since my review, it's important to appreciate & remember that highly vulnerable people need to be protected from unprofessional behaviour, which I experienced, that could've sent me over the edge.Angie, as a professional, has the option to resolve this in a professional manner, given the constructive feedback provided

I highly recommend Gabriel to anyone that suffers from anxiety & or panic attacks. Friendly, caring & down to earth man.

Myself and my husband did the 5 hours Kick Start fertility day with Kathryn. I can honestly say it was such an eye opener. After 5 years of trying, miscarriage and failed IVF we both felt really lost and could not see a way out. After that one day with Kathryn, we left feeling full of hope again and we now know there is still so much we can do on our journey to healthy pregnancy. She was able to help us shift our thinking to a much more positive space. She gave us the tools to make lifestyle changes that I know will help us conceive. Thank you Kathryn!

You're a great coach and I deeply value the time we've spent together and the progress you've helped me make in my life. I wouldn't be this far along in my goals or have this much courage to push forward without your support.

CBT Conversations limited were on hand at a time of need. They were very professional and made me feel at ease in a very difficult time. Just being able to talk to someone who can not only give you their professional advice but also their support and guidance. Thank you so much. Great company and very professional and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

I drove for 15 miles to get there to be told that there is no longer drop in clinic. Even though the website still say’s that there is. Even though the lady behind the desk was apologetic it did not detract from my poor experience. Apparently you now have to call on the day which you want an appointment like the doctors surgery. From my experience that system is a fail, as you never actually get seen when you need.This is a real shame as previously I have always had good experience with the York clinic.

Gabriel is a great therapist. He's been following me for the past month and his help is making a real difference for me. I would definitely suggest him to anyone keen to approach cbt.

Polecam tą firmę zawsze można liczyć na Pania Katarzynę, obsługa sprawna i bardzo miła, pomocna w każdej sprawie

The staff were really helpful and offered to have a look eventhough my problem didn't seem to be STI related and pointed me in the right direction, thankyou so much!
