"Perry's sessions have been hugely helpful and life-changing to me. He has been an excellent EMDR therapist in terms of delivering the EMDR itself in a safe and effective way, but especially in terms of treading that fine balance between gently challenging and encouraging a client to move into areas that are worth exploring, whilst also not pushing too hard when someone isn't ready. He is very friendly, thoughtful and skilled and his combination of EMDR and CBT theory was hugely effective and powerful for me. He was able to identify and help me understand my key core beliefs more effectively than other therapies have in the past and the EMDR he delivered was massively powerful and helped me process the trauma, beliefs and all other accompanying emotions very effectively".

"I wanted to say again how very much I appreciate all your help over the last few months. I have a totally new understanding of my mental health and how low self esteem has affected every aspect of my life - I truly believe I could not have got to this place of understanding and ability to challenge negativity without my sessions with you, so thank you so much. The last couple of weeks have had some real challenges/triggers that I was able to combat with applying what I have learnt from you." TV

"The therapy sessions with Perry were excellent. Every session was interesting, informative and fun.
I felt that Perry had a fantastic understanding of how I was feeling and was able to help me challenge my negative thought pattern. I learnt some great coping skills that I have found really useful and will continue to use.
I cannot recommend both the therapy and the therapist more highly." PS

"When I first came to Perry, I was dealing with unresolved trauma from past relationships after having my trust broken on numerous occasions. I was in a new relationship and it was affecting us as I felt I couldn’t trust anyone again. Perry was kind and supportive through my EMDR, he gave me coping tools that no one had taught me in the last 10 years of therapy and built a formulation with me to understand what I needed to work on. He made sure I was ready to process my trauma in a safe and supportive environment. Going through EMDR was one of the hardest things I have done for myself but I am so glad I did it. The issue I bought to sessions was slowly processed and I can honestly say it now has less of a hold over me. I have days where the thoughts creep back in, but my body no longer treats them as threats, they sift easier through my mind and I am able to rationalise things so much better. It has benefited my relationship so much and I finally feel able to trust more than I did previously. I’ve regained some of my power and confidence and it’s all thanks to Perry." KB

“My experience has been that the sessions with Perry have helped immensely. On the administration side it is always clear what is needed, and sessions plans with plenty of notice. On the sessions themselves I appreciate so much the way in which it has identified where I need to look at how I perceive things and has made me re-evaluate the way in which I approach challenges and everyday life. Perry has been extremely patient and guided me through seeing why I have low self-esteem and how it has infiltrated my life. Whilst it is not resolved he has helped me identify ways to change and value myself and not the perceived views of other people. The topics discussed were sensitive and Perry was very compassionate and patient. I felt listened to and supported.” Anon
