  • I was at my lowest point when a friend introduced me to Tori. I wasn’t really looking for help or guidance initially – more a listening ear, I felt I had bored my friends and family enough! Tori immediately put me at ease. The initial meeting with her gave me time and space to put into words the sheer stress and anxiety I was feeling (and trying to hide from the world). Tori listened sympathetically with no judgement. Her approach is gentle – but very straightforward. She made it clear from the get-go that she was here to help me put into place a plan that would turn my life around for the better. She wasn’t kidding. After the first meeting a felt like a weight had been lifted. Her ability to read between the lines and come up with innovative techniques to help me cope when all around me felt like it was crumbling honestly saved me. I cannot recommend her enough.

  • My wife announced out of the blue after 12 years of marriage that she had met someone else and was leaving me. From that moment and for 12 months afterwards I walked around in a fog (whilst trying to hold down a job, co-parent our children and navigate a divorce that I didn’t see coming). I didn’t have a clue what lay ahead – until I had my first meeting with Tori. Immediately I could see that she meant business. Her approach is sympathetic but direct. I had spent money on a counsellor prior to my sessions with Tori and felt like I was getting nowhere. They simply wanted to talk about my feelings… whereas Tori is more intent on taking each concern and turning it on its head to create something more positive. I used to joke with her and say she should be a police negotiator! She is less about looking at the past and more about striding forwards, but in a sensible and realistic, step by step way. Nothing ever felt too challenging as she is very careful to stick within the comfort zone of her clients and work with them at their own pace. Six months on I can honestly say I would not be where I am today without Tori’s help, she really is top of the game in her field.

  • I sought Tori’s help when I was feeling stressed and anxious about the state of my marriage. I was in a state of 50/50 limbo as to whether I should walk out on my husband of 14 years or stay and try and make things work. Tori was amazing. She listened patiently as I detailed out all my concerns and in the first session helped me to make sense of the worries spinning through my head. Together we listed them out and worked through each one in a methodical and almost business minded approach. She helped me regain some of the clarity that had been missing for months and flipped many of my thoughts and feeling on their head to help try and see them from another perspective… my husband’s – something I would never have been capable of doing alone. After a few sessions I felt ready to sit down with my husband and discuss our relationship in a calm and positive way. With Tori’s help we both agreed to commit to a three-month plan whereby we jointly worked on areas that we agreed needed focus and where changes had to be made. Whilst Tori is not a couples counsellor she was fantastic at helping me make some big decisions that I didn’t feel capable of making alone.
