Sian at South West Therapies, CBT and EMDR in Devon

I have had a couple of therapists over the years, but no one has ever matched Sian. She listens, remembers, asks the right questions and gently challenges in the right ways. She has helped me enormously over the past year with working on specific behaviours and shifting my mind set. Hugely appreciative of her and I would highly recommend. Thank you Sian x

Sian has been brilliant over the last few months! Super friendly, easy to talk too and always made me feel comfortable. She helped me develop new skills and adopt new habits to help with my anxiety. I always felt a bit better after every session. Thank you Sian!

Sian has been brilliant for my daughter’s anxiety - helping her with strategies to get through her exams and beyond. Kind, understanding and caring - my daughter has always been in a better place after speaking to Sian - and the therapy seems to be making a really positive impact overall. Sian is highly professional and responds speedily to communications from me as a parent too.

I was one of Sian’s patients on a 12 week course of CBT and I thought it was important to share how invaluable her service was for me. I have suffered for a number of years with depression and PTSD and in previous years I had undergone long courses of therapy with a different service providers and I can honestly say that I had made no substantial progress until completing the sessions with Sian. I don’t say this lightly because if you are someone that suffers with mental health you’ll know it’s not a linear journey but Sian has now given me tools that I keep to stay on the right side of my mental health and they work. I’ve looked for a long time to find help that made a difference to my mind and I was lucky to find it in Sian’s services. Thank you Sian, your service truly was life changing for me and I will always be grateful to the positive changes I’ve made as a result of our work together. A fantastic therapist.

My sessions with Sian came at a fairly critical point for me, in particular, GAD, and I am happy to say they've been incredibly helpful. Her direct but non-judgemental manner made hard topics easier to address head-on, which I really needed and appreciated. Reliably astute observations allowed me to really stop and consider my perspectives in a way I hadn't even considered before. They also left nowhere to hide, which is exactly what one wants from a therapist! As a patient you will need to put effort into your recovery, however with Sian treating you, you will reap the rewards. I will not hesitate for a second to go back to Sian if I ever need treatment again in future.

Sian was a wonderful person, very kind, patient and helpful, great at listening and taking in what was discussed and offering thought provoking questions and advice. After just 8 weeks there was a noticeable difference in mood and thought reflection, highly recommend giving CBT with her a chance!
