Having struggled with anxiety/low self-esteem since a child and having gone through a number of emotional/stressful situations that were really starting to take there toll on my mental health and well-being at the age of 51 I felt that I needed to seek some professional help to help me manage how I was processing my emotions and feelings.

I was recommended ‘The Reach Approach’ by a friend, so I decided to make contact.  I’m so glad I did! I have been working with Hayley for around 9 months and during this time I think I’ve just about shared my life story.  Hayley has been fantastic.  She made me feel extremely relaxed and comfortable during the sessions, which enabled me to really open up about how I’ve been feeling.  Hayley has made me look at my anxiety/confidence issues and address the reasons why I was feeling the way I was. During this process I have learnt so much about myself.  Hayley has given me the confidence to start believing in myself again and manage/process my anxiety levels.
