Counselling enabled me to heal my trauma

"Having counselling with Elaine is the best thing I have ever done for myself.  She has helped me change my life, by enabling me to deal with the effects of several traumatic experiences I have suffered in the past few years, as well as problems from my teens, which resulted in me feeling depressed, sad and stressed all the time.  I am now enjoying the simple things in life and am able to see the beauty of everyday things around me, and I have now found my creativity, which was buried for so long.  I am happier than I have been for many years" JC.

Homeopathy revived my life!

 Before homeopathy I was on the brink of suicide, my stresses were work and home related. I thought there was no way out!

I battled with depression due to issues that were developed in my working environment and also at home as I was looking after a sick toddler and when I went to my G.P. they began to try and tell me that it was all in my head and that my child had behavioral issues. After him being admitted to hospital and them having to revive him a couple of times, I lost faith in conventional medicine. I took my child and myself to receive some homeopathy treatment and after being in despair for three years, our lives changed within weeks. My child began to spend more time in the nursery than in the hospital, and for the first time in three years I got a decent night sleep!  Coming from one of the most socially deprived areas of Manchester and being a single parent, homeopathy made me feel as if I actually had some worthDF.

Homeopathy cured my Colitis and Hayfever

 

I have used homeopathy for over 20 years with great benefit.  A potentially serious stomach problem has been eliminated during this time (colitis) and many minor ailments have either improved greatly or completely disappeared such as my hay fever.  When life knocks the stuffing out of me, affecting my health, homeopathy puts me back on track.  SB. Ashton Under Lyne

Therapy opened up many avenues, the greatest of which is now a relationship with my father that I would never have believed possible. I would recommend Elaine as a therapist to everyone. PC. Leigh

Ever felt held, challenged, supported and called to account all at the same time? ....I consider this to have been the essence of my experience as a supervisee of Elaine Bolton. A relationship where I could bring the worst and best of me both in my counselling work and personal life, a place where I was nurtured and soon uncovered neither the worst or best - to be just me.  A valuable relationship where I could feel my own growth of confidence and competence as a counselling practitioner that contributed to underpinning my counselling work. A valuable relationship that I further consider is reflected and acknowledged in feedback from clients and others. MW. MBACP

I started my sessions with Elaine because I was experiencing depression.  Elaine worked with me to pick apart the feelings I was experiencing and helped me get to the root causes of them.  Gradually over the weeks I felt the fog I was immersed in lift.  The sessions have increased my awareness of the patterns of behaviour that have held me back in life in the past and have given me the tools to combat them in the future.  I am now more focussed at work and my relationships with those closest to me have greatly improved.  Seeking help for the way I was feeling is something I wish I had done years ago.
