TESTIMONIALS

1. After trying therapy with several other people for months and not having much success, Rosanna helped me overcome the worst of my anxiety within only a few weeks. Since then, I have become much more confident with managing anxiety around food and travel with her help. She has also been super flexible with scheduling sessions and just all round great to work with. L.K

2. Rosanna is a fantastic therapist and I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions together. Therapy can be a difficult journey but from the first session, Rosanna was supportive and non-judgemental helping me to feel at ease which allowed me to be honest about the thoughts I'd been experiencing. She has great experience and knowledge of CBT and by working with her I've been able to learn how to better manage my anxiety and thoughts which has greatly improved my quality of life. I would strongly recommend Rosanna and CBT and advise anyone who is considering therapy to give it a go, it isn't easy but with the right support can make a massive positive difference. Thank you Rosanna!' R.J
