Testimonials - Michael Feldman Counselling

"I have been seeing Michael for about ten years. As a therapist, he is principled and adheres to the BACPs Ethical Framework. As a practitioner he is amazing and he has helped me deal with and face my traumas from the past.  He has done this by creating a safe space for me, in which  I could safely talk and work though my painful life experiences without fear of being judged.

Most importantly he held a confidential space where I felt safe to explore my deepest fears. As a therapist and as a person I find him very supportive, warm, caring and trustworthy and this is testament to our longstanding therapeutic relationship. In our work I felt accepted by him as a person in my own right, he was always there in my darkest hours, when I had nowhere else to turn. I trust him with my innermost feelings and he has been an invaluable support in my life without which I wouldn't be where I am today.  Our work together has enabled me to heal traumas of my past,  to strive and reach my dreams."

'Michael, you embody the innate empathic qualities that enable broken wings to get up and not just fly but soar high above the clouds.  I thank you so much for accepting me as I am and never giving up on me, even when I gave up on myself.  Most of all thank you for being my mentor and enabling me to overcome my childhood trauma and its underlying self-deprecation.  Most of all thank you for showing me how to increase my self esteem, self care and to stop self sabotaging.  You have truly empowered me to follow in no one’s footsteps but my own and to hold my head up high as I take my rightful place amongst my equals.  I am eternally grateful.’ – Lorraine

"I have been working with Michael for several sessions.  I find him easy to talk to and he understands.  He has certainly helped me with my issues.’" - Gary

"Having been referred to Michael for counselling, I can say through our sessions together ,that I have been able to slowly teach myself how to cope with my low moods and lack of self esteem.  In a pleasant environment I have been able to talk about my issues and identify how to adjust and learn how to behave in certain situations with other people, that before I would have found more difficult to interact with in a more understanding way.  I hope to continue my sessions on a long term basis, to carry on learning and believing in myself." - Mr S

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you.  Your help and support has been invaluable and life changing in so many ways.  I’m now confident that I can find the internal happiness that I’ve been looking for, for so long.” - NP

"Michael, I will never be able to thank you enough for your patience and kindness over the years.  I could never have survived without you, and I really mean that. There were times when I really didn't want to go on but you brought me back and taught me that I mattered.” Mrs LS
