Testimonials

A simple thank you does not measure the gratitude I have for all the help and care you have given me. You have given me hope again when everything seemed black. I have found peace within myself and much much more. You have been such a support to me and the work you do is wonderful.  A.G.R.

Eilish has a very warm presence about her, this was one of the first things I noticed when I met her. I was so nervous in the first session but it wasn’t long before she made me feel at ease. She is very empathetic person and I always felt heard. Lara

 

I want to thank you for the constant support you gave me through some very difficult life transitions. I look back at how hard I used to be on myself and I feel sad for that person. Thank you Eilish for helping me get to know myself and accepting who I am, something I struggled with my whole life. I always thought there was something wrong with me and that I needed to change who I was so others would accept me. I now realise from the work we have done that it was me who needed to accept me. You thought me how to be kind to myself and to love myself and I am forever grateful. C.M  Gra Mor

Thank you for picking me up when I was going through a very difficult period in my life. Before I came to therapy I felt lost and afraid and I had no self confidence or self worth. Thank you for believing in me and giving me strength to believe in myself.  I still think of you often. The advice and tools you have given me often echo in my mind when I am going through difficult times.  I cannot thank you enough. Shaz

 

Eilish was a very good listener. Unlike experiences I have had with previous therapists, I always felt she was actively listening and very involved in the sessions.  She was also not afraid to challenge me where appropriate which I appreciated. Brid

 

I had been feeling depressed on and off for years, often finding it difficult to get out of bed in the mornings, I had lost interest in most things  and my work and relationships were suffering.  I was prescribed antidepressants by my GP which helped a little, but they also seemed to dull my other senses. Coming to therapy was initially one of the hardest things I have ever had to do but also one of the most rewarding. It made me re-evaluate my relationships with friends and family but most importantly myself. I would highly recommend Eilish as a therapist. Anonymous.

I found Eilish to be a very professional and supportive therapist. She didn’t spoon feed me but rather gave me the awareness and tools to think for myself and pull from my own resources. I found her to be highly intuitive often making me aware of things I could not see in myself. P.M

 

I was in therapy with Eilish for 2 years and I am so grateful for the changes it brought to my life. She helped me overcome so much some things I battled with for so many years. My relationship was coming to an end at the time and it was only looking at my own behaviours in therapy that made me realise how much I was contributing to the problems in the relationship. I am now happily married. Sincere gratitude. Anonymous

 

I was always afraid of my anger I didn’t know how to express my feelings. Anger was the most emotion I could get in touch with. If things were not going my way I would get irate with family, friends, work colleges and then feel guilty after. It was a vicious circle I was becoming bitter and I hated myself more and more every day. It got to a stage that it was affecting my relationships and I was afraid another person would walk out of my life if I did not take action. A friend of mine recommended Eilish to me and I feel she saved me from many more years of battling this relationship I had with anger. I learned from therapy that my anger was coming from more of a hurt wounded place. I used to be afraid to talk about my anger I was embarrassed and ashamed of it. Eilish thought me that it is ok to feel angry and that it was learning how to express this anger in a healthier way. Expressing my anger in a healthier way meant being more direct and communicating how I really felt. It has been so much more beneficial and productive for me than losing my temper ever was. I am actually heard more now than I ever was before and I notice I am getting more respect from those around me. I cannot express how much therapy changed my life and I cannot thank you enough Eilish. T.P

I used to be a happy, care free person full of life but since coming into my 30’s I have found life has become a lot more stressful and at times very overwhelming. My head used to get very clouded, small things seemed a lot bigger to me. Eilish did a lot of work with me around self care and coming back into the present moment. I still have to work on my self-care and some days are more challenging than others but I feel my life is a lot more manageable now. Sarah

I cannot give enough praise and thanks to Eilish for helping me work through a few major issues in my life. She is such a good listener but not just that she really challenges you to think differently and find a healthier way of dealing with the difficulties in your life. There is something very genuine and real about her. SJ xx

Working with Eilish made me realise a lot of my present issues were related to my past. I was still holding onto a lot of baggage from my childhood. I always avoided thinking about my past but talking through it actually allowed me to release some of the pain allowing me to move forward in my life. Unfortunately I lost some valuable relationships along the way but I feel much stronger now and I hope I can repair some of these past hurts. Eilish has taught me how to change some of the self destructive patterns I had and replace them with positive, healthy ones. Thank you. Martin
