What some clients have said…
-
Dr Forde was brilliant. I entered into everything a bit of a sceptic; not in the science, but felt that I understood why I was feeling the way I did and so was unconvinced in the value of therapy. Dr Forde's techniques of focusing on the present, changing behaviours and circumstances, her ability to get such a firm handle of very specific topics and also retain such level of detail between our sessions made the whole experience so valuable - we never covered the same ground twice. I'm so grateful for the help I received - thank you.

My experience has been very successful this time, Lycia was truly amazing and I am so thankful I worked with someone who understood me and that I felt I could trust with my personal issues. I have seen great improvement within myself and my mental state over the past few months and am so grateful for this.

There are no words to give justice to the help I have received. Lycia has been absolutely fantastic and helped me so much. I feel confident now that I go forward and that enjoyment my life is not a sin. She helped me develop techniques to live my life on my own terms and to grieve everything that happened. I am very grateful.
As a result of the couple therapy that we received, the communication and overall satisfaction of our relationship has improved a lot. I enjoyed the sessions and felt respected, listened to and understood at all times - but also challenged where necessary in order for us both to grow. I had initially been reluctant to engage in therapy as I felt like I could not or did not want to open up, but I now find it much easier to do so and feel like I am reaping the benefits.

I never realised the importance of therapy but this experience has changed my life from something negative to something positive. I wish I had been offered this therapy earlier in my life as I have suffered from depression for a long time and until now have not been helped in this way. Dr Forde made me feel very comfortable and as if I was sitting with a friend.

I had an excellent therapy which gave me the tools that I need in my present and future. Before I felt like I was at the bottom of a well but now I can see the sunshine and the future seems bright. I have learned to experience joy and how to connect with others. I now have good self-esteem and am able to love myself for the first time in my life. In my culture therapy is not seen positively and so I was nervous about doing therapy. However, it has been a huge blessing in my life and transformed who I am today and who I will become. I really want to share with others the benefits of doing therapy. Lycia was extremely helpful, encouraging, a really good listener and from the start took the weight off my shoulders.

Our case involved lots of cultural and religious nuances and complexities, which Lycia approached with tact and sensitivity. She took the time to understand our case and provide pragmatic and meaningful solutions. She curated a well thought out keeping-well plan that we implement regularly. She helped us understand ourselves, and through, that, helped us understand each other. I was able to appreciate the level of commitment, empathy and desire that Lycia exhibited in order to provide us with the steps we needed for a meaningful and long-lasting change.

The therapy was really really helpful. I have learnt lots of skills. I have been given lots of helpful tools to tackle my challenges. I could tell Dr Forde was very experienced and understanding and so I felt in a safe place talking about my intimate things. I am really happy because I feel my life has improved a lot over the months of therapy. I feel more confident in myself and I am much more able to open up to others and build connection with others.

Lycia is an excellent therapist with an extremely high level of professionalism and dedication. Lycia is really kind and insightful so I really felt heard, and her professionalism was ever-present in that through every conversation I could see how she was weaving my troubles into how she was intending to coach me and guide me through the therapy. She always factored everything in and made it seem effortless, as a result I completely trusted her in the process. I feel a lasting change. I'm honestly really impressed and grateful.

Very positive experience. The therapy was structured with tools and processes and an agenda for each week but also incorporated some flexibility for more specific issues that may not have been part of the original goals. Dr Forde was professional and very attentive and made me feel like I was receiving very personalised high quality treatment.
