Testimonials

“I successfully completed 15 sessions of CBT therapy with Henry Coombes. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Henry and looked forward to each of these sessions. Henry was an excellent therapist, who was very understanding and someone who I could easily confide with. Each of these sessions were very interesting, and Henry taught me simple but very effective techniques in dealing with my issues. CBT requires teamwork to be successful, and its because of Henry’s guidance I felt very motivated to work after these sessions. In general, I am going to miss Henry, I cannot thank you all enough for your support. I wish yous all the best, and I know future clients will reap the benefits.”

“Throughout my sessions I always felt I was in a supportive and comfortable environment. I can see that as the sessions developed over the 14 weeks they have lead to me feeling more aware about myself and have created a greater understanding of myself. My thanks to Henry.”

B. Former client 2024

“An excellent experience. I received therapy from Henry Coombes and he was incredibly experienced, able to adapt the sessions quickly, communicate complex schemas, techniques and patterns of behaviour in a digestible and simple way. During difficult experiential sessions, I had complete trust and faith in Henry and the process. The therapy I’ve received has led to significant life changes and I’m extremely grateful for his guidance”.
