Testimonials

DT - 30's

"Working with Pippa has activated something in me which has fundamentally shifted the way I understand myself, my relationships and my potential.
She has received me, and the issues I have brought to therapy, with compassion and kindness at all times. Pippa has challenged me helpfully when appropriate and quickly identified and utilised ways to easily engage me; humour, visual descriptions and obscure film references.
It's clear that the client / therapist relationship is at the heart of Pippa's practice, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone considering counselling."
