Our Valuable Feedback
“Katherine has provided exceptional support that was fundamental in processing my experience and healing. I could not recommend Umbrella counselling more, especially to those who may be unsure or reluctant as to whether counselling is ‘for’ them. The sessions have been incredibly enriching and have provided me with the skills I need to continue to move forward.”
“I was very happy with the counselling I got from Katherine. She was very comforting, helpful, and understanding. It was the best round of counselling I have received and would recommend to anyone who needed their help”
“I would 100% recommend this counselling service to anyone that needs it. It’s done wonders for me as a person; I feel like a new and improved version of myself compared to who I was when I first started attending my sessions.”
