Testimonials

I found my time with OK Talk Counselling brilliant. Marina was very helpful and extremely caring and offered amazing support. I struggled with anxiety and the lose of a relative and relationship breakdown. I honestly can say the dark hole I was in at the time felt like it was getting deeper but with OK Talk Counselling’s help I found the light and the strenght to climb out. I will forever be thankful for this.

I had a negative experience at work which hugely impacted my self esteem, and because of Covid lockdown and my feelings of inadequacy I hadn’t been able to talk it through with anyone properly. I wasn’t sure if I was making a big deal out of nothing or if it was significant enough for counselling. But I made the appointment and am really glad I did. Marina was very empathetic and objective and helped me see myself in a different light. This has really helped me at work and in my personal life. Thank you!

It was great finally to talk to someone. Really lovely session I start to see now what’s going on with my thought process I can’t wait til next time. It was of very great help and support.

Marina was excellent. Helped me to work through my problems in a friendly yet professional & supporting way. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for CBT.

I went to see Marina about ongoing feelings of depression and anxiety I’ve experienced for the last 10 years. Marina was very empathetic and understanding, not only has she helped me deal with the current symptoms but also helped me find the root cause. I can’t recommend her enough.

So easy to chat with Marina when I can’t chat to others. She is a nice calm person and very attentive.

I’ve had a very good experience. I’ve found it easy to talk and open up and I feel supported. The techniques I’ve been given has been very helful and has already started to benefit me and help my mental health. I feel safe and comfortable talking here. Thank you.

I have found my counselling really helpful, because it has given me lots of techniques that I can use anywhere at any time when needed. Also they have been ejoyable as well which made a big difference.

It was good because we had fun and I learned that I was overreacting a lot when I though school was bad.

I have found it really helpful and I have felt a lot more confident with going out and doing stuff I wouldn’t normaly do. I have also become a lot less anxious coming into school and going out places. I have done a lot more since I have started these sessions and I liked a lot of them. It has made me a lot happier coming into school.

I have found my counselling very helful and it has really changed my character and my thoughts a lot and I would totally recommend it to other people who are having a hard time.

From my sessions I have really been able to learn more about OCD and gain lots of strategies that work for me. I have seen progression from when I first started the sessions and I can use these strategies to help me in the future.

I am 15 years old and have loved having counselling with Marina. I still have a long way to go, but she has helped me with trauma, coping strategies, understanding my brain and much more. She is a wonderful person that is always smiling and is always there to give suggestions, feedback or just a listening ear. She has made me realise many things and answered all my questions. I will miss her very much!

I have found my sessions really helpful. I feel like I can say anything and I am not getting judged at all. I feel really comfortable talking and I have definitely improved my mental health. I have even picked up tips on how my mind works and I can link my emotions with the reason why I am feeling like that.

Fun sessions and activities. I could talk to Marina about anything and it really helped instead of bottling it up. I didn’t have to worry about anybody else finding out about my issues. Counselling helped me through my problems. We played fun games that explored my feelings and emotions.

I would highly recommend OK Talk Counselling for young persons counselling needs, my daughter has benefited a lot from her sessions.

Our son has definitely made progress and come out of a really dark place over the past few months.

We have noticed a difference in our daughter. She is more sociable spending time with us and not in her room.

My daughter seems to be in a much better place since the sessions began/have finished. She said that they definitely helped with her confidence and for being able to deal with negative thoughts. I am very grateful for what you have done.
