“Angè taught me how to tackle anxious thought patterns that had been negatively impacting my life for years. I use what she taught me in our sessions daily and I am much better equipped to deal with all sorts of challenges. I would recommend Angè to anyone looking for a psychologist - I wish I had gone to see her sooner!”

- Anonymous Client

“In the beginning I was also scared of the idea of going for therapy. I felt like a failure for needing it but today I can talk openly about it because this sessions have helped me immensely. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I made for myself and my mental health. Ange creates a safe and trustworthy environment where one can talk about everything. She has helped me to deal with all my emotions. Today I am a strong woman because the sessions helped me to deal and heal. Today I realise how important it is to voice your feelings and be aware of your emotions and to never keep everything inside you. It is difficult to be vulnerable and to open up but it is so needed for recovery.”

- Anonymous Client

“Starting therapy has been the single most important decision I've ever made. Even though I was terrified to book my first session, as soon as I started I could see how welcoming, kind, and rehabilitative the space is. I now see my weekly sessions with Ange as a highlight of my week.”
