'I have been consulting with Katy Heath regarding some deeply painful life experiences. Katy has been wonderful in helping me to find clarity and a way out of the grief and negative thinking.

Her gentle and caring nature makes me feel comfortable and able to trust her to share honestly and openly about what is happening for me. Katy is deeply compassionate, and I find her to be extremely insightful.

Katy has helped me find the beauty amongst the crap and I have never left a session feeling like things are unresolved. Of particular help to me are the briefings of the session Katy later emails to me. I don't always remember after the session the gems we discover and what we have discussed and explored, and these briefings are a wonderful tool for my healing journey.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Katy Heath to anyone seeking help and guidance through life issues.'

'I have been a client of Katy’s for the last 2 years. From my very first phone call and meeting I felt confident that I could trust Katy with my story and knew I was in very safe hands. My personal life had completely fallen apart and over time Kate showed me ways to cope on a daily basis and helped me rediscover the strengths that I had forgotten I had.

Katy was an integral part to my healing, both mentally and physically and has given me a better understanding of myself, my needs and my wants. Her empathy and belief in me as an individual were very inspiring and she has always been with me along my very difficult journey.

When Katy took leave over Christmas and travelled overseas, she even checked in on WhatsApp just to ensure I was doing well.

Katy’s innate understanding of all aspects of human relationships is very inspiring and was a major factor in helping me believe in myself again.

Counselling is always a two-way street, and I have to say if you are willing to put the work in, Katy will walk beside you every step of the way.'

'Katy was a thoughtful listener and helped me to gain greater clarity and emotional ease with the topics I brought into our sessions together. I really felt her ability to stay present with me and to offer insightful reflections and compassionate hearing. It's helpful to know support is available from her, and the flexibility of booking sessions was appreciated too.

Would recommend.'

'My wife and I had been married for 63 very happy years. We had had a wonderful life with many adventures. Her death after a long illness was expected, but still a massive trauma. I was over-whelmed by depression and unremitting anxiety. There was nothing to live for. Then Katy arrived.

Katy is a brilliant counsellor. She immediately saw the state I was in and commenced a walk along a pathway that would help me rebuild. After outlining the existing problem, and investigating my past history, she set treatment in motion. She had me thinking, relaxing, reading and researching my own past. She laid out the path and took me along. This was thorough. A couple of blips that happened outside appointment time were dealt with. It seemed that my problems had been taken in by Katy and dealt with as she led me through therapy.

I have met many counsellors in my work over many years. Not only is Katy obviously of superior knowledge in her profession, but she also has the gifts of empathy and concern for clients. I have been left with the feeling that she has taken every effort she could in caring for me. I had nothing to live for. My life was in a hopeless muddle. She picked it up and carefully sorted it out. Katy has shown me that she is a superb therapist.'
