Testimonials

Cath made me feel really relaxed. I was having trouble dealing with loss, and she helped me feel much better about it. She’s really nice and really understanding as well. She taught me how to express my feelings more.

My daughter was assaulted and I was traumatised, I couldn’t continue to function normally, I would relive the experience and be overwhelmed by sadness and anger at what she had gone through. For all of us I needed to move to a better place. I went to see Cath Edwards, I felt safe and supported in her space and we worked through what I had made it mean.  Her gentle kind approach combined with great skill helped me to reframe the situation and to let go of the trauma around it. I am so very grateful I found her.

Cath supported us all through a time of family crisis, when no one else seemed to understand. With her loving intuition, wisdom and skill she has guided us to a safer, calmer and much happier place.

 

Sent with all my love and gratitude

When I first saw Cath I was lost, confused and deeply unhappy, I was in an unhealthy marriage that left me powerless and hopeless. I needed support and guidance and in Cath’s sessions I found it. In a relatively short period of time I began to feel capable and strong, I identified the patterns of thinking and behaving that where holding me back, I understood the limiting beliefs that had lead me to my current unhappiness and started to see their lack of substance,  I had bought a story about myself that wasn’t true and it was holding me back form feeling happy.

 

Within 6 months I found the strength to leave my marriage, I went from casual work to full time work in a new career that I had to study for, I had energy and passion and felt capable and strong. I needed constant support to make these changes and Cathy went above and beyond, being available for telephone support whenever I needed.

 

Cath has worked with all of my three teenage children, helping them and guiding them through this huge change in their lives, I have noticed that they are less anxious and depressed and more loving and open. I am so happy that they have gained the skills to make themselves happy. Cath was always there for them, holding them through a very emotional and challenging time.

 

Eventually Cath worked with my ex-husband alone and in group sessions with me to help us work together as parents.I never realised how happy and peaceful life could be, I know the therapy with Cath has done this for me.

 

Cath is a very insightful, talented, caring and compassionate therapist. I loved how professional Cath was, I always felt that she was there for me, in every session. I also found Cath very knowledgeable, she has a good grasp on how and when to use different treatment methods in therapy.

 

I would whole heartedly recommend Cath she is remarkable therapist

Cath had come highly recommended, so I knew I was in good hands when I booked an appointment with her to help me deal with two traumatic episodes life had thrown at me. But I underestimated the difference it would make. I felt truly listened to and understood, and the techniques Cath is highly skilled in using worked to dramatically lessen the intensity of emotion I was feeling in relation to the trauma. I haven’t forgotten what happened, but I can move on with my life now and experience joy again.

Cath is a life changer. I cannot express how grateful I am to have found her!
After many ineffective sessions with councillors and therapists of 10+ years, Cath walked into my life.

 

I felt instantly comfortable and safe around her.

 

I am a victim of repeated childhood trauma, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, but in my family we didn’t talk about it. Anything difficult or uncomfortable was ignored and after years and years of being ignored I had started to believe that maybe I did just have ‘a vivid imagination’

 

But there were flashbacks, and mood swings, and triggers. I had been carrying this around with me for over 15 years, and it was impacting my friendships, my relationship, and my work.

 

This had such an impact on my life, that I didn’t want to live anymore. I was so manipulated and controlled by the people around me that I felt I wasn’t worthy enough to take me own life, and instead found myself planning an accident I wouldn’t survive.

 

I started to see Cath regularly and she helped me work through my trauma memories. It’s not just sitting in a room talking about your feelings, she’s able to help through many different proven trauma therapies, the most effective for me being………

 

I am now a different person. I still know my trauma, but it doesn’t control me anymore. I have been able to strengthen relationships with family members, forgiving them for the pain that they indirectly caused. I am able to have intimate relations with my husband without panic attacks and flashbacks. I am able to work a full day in the office without breaking down. I am able get out of bed each day and keep going.

 

I’m here because of me. I survived my trauma and came out the other side on my own.

 

But until I found Cath, I was just going through the motions. She has helped me to let go of the guilt and self-hatred I was carrying.

 

Because what someone else does to you or around you is never your fault
