From the bottom of my heart thank you. Speaking with Poppy helped me unpack my hoarding memories, accept my new ones and manage them. Poppy has made me see my true importance to myself.  I can now chose my own path and not the path people chose for me.

I’m so pleased my GP referred me to Poppy and I’m so grateful she came into my life. It’s made such a difference to my wellbeing and I can’t thank her enough for her insight and the relaxed way she taught me to understand myself and the people I am fond of.

Poppy was recommended to me by a friend after I suffered from dreadful flashbacks relating to historic domestic violence. Not only did Poppy help me with dealing with the violence, she also helped me with all the other historic — and more recent — traumas that I had never processed or even talked about. I can honestly say that she has saved me from a lifetime of depression, anger and extreme sadness. I have found a new lightness and joy that can be totally attributed to Poppy and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

My husband and I had reached a crossroads in our relationship leaving neither of us satisfied and close to breaking up. We were recommended to Poppy by a friend for couples counselling. After several sessions, we now have a better understanding of one-another’s needs and desires. Our communication has opened up and we are no longer afraid to address issues as they arrive; this strength has given us both individually and together a new lease of life. Thank you Poppy, truly.

The difference Poppy has made to the quality of my life cannot be underestimated. I was referred to her following an incurable cancer diagnosis because I felt distressed.

Through her supportive, and at times challenging counselling, she has turned my focus to living. She has been rock solid in her support as I have re-assessed priorities, communicated better with my children, negotiated work issues, and dealt with the roller coaster of treatment. The impact of Poppy's skill and compassion is not only felt by me, but by my family and employer. Thank you Poppy!

Counselling with Poppy has made such a difference to my life, having everything explained to me, deep rooted issues that are now out in the open and worked through. I would recommend Poppy for everybody, she has been a life saver.

Counselling with Poppy has helped me face my difficult, turbulent and sometimes chaotic life, enabling me to recognise, acknowledge, and work positively to resolve issues past and as they arise. Poppy has helped me become quite brave and more open about how I am feeling. I am so glad I was referred to Poppy, our sessions have been a valuable part of my recovery and healing.

I would like to place on record my heartfelt thanks and praise for Poppy Bishop my counsellor, I needed objective support and assistance after the death of my father, counselling with Poppy far exceeded my expectations. it has been a very enlightening and uplifting experience. she has been astonishingly welcoming, supportive, understanding, open, honest and has made me a better person for all of those traits. I have been amazed and privileged to have had her help and guidance through very difficult times.

I was diagnosed with stage 3a Prostate Cancer in February 2015. I had a radical prostatectomy 8th June 2015 and though the surgery was successful I was left with a number of physical issues which left me totally devastated. At 57 I felt life wasn’t really worth living, I felt the surgery had destroyed the meaning of life for me. I was referred to Poppy Bishop and with her help I became motivated to come to terms with the attendant side effects of all the treatment. She helped me find the positivity and strength to help heal the trauma. Poppy has great qualities of perception and understanding and I never felt any self-consciousness about telling her about any experience be it sad or happy. Without Poppy’s help encouragement and support I honestly feel I would not be here today and I would thoroughly recommend her services without any hesitation.

I can never repay Poppy Bishop for the help she has given me. There is no price tag for that. Without her support and insight I wouldn't have the belief in myself that I have today. Thank you so much Poppy!
