Testimonials:
"I first came to Ian in the throes of alcohol addiction and my life felt beyond salvaging. Through my sessions with Ian I became sober and then began the hard work of recovery. Ian's counselling helped me work through the issues that had motivated my destructive behaviour. The sessions with Ian were often informative and helpful. Ian often challenged my thinking and thus provided a new perspective to the problems I believed inscrutable. I constantly draw upon my sessions with Ian and the knowledge I gained from them in continuing my sobriety."

It was a really dark place, when I started seeing Ian 18 months ago. I was feeling depressed, isolated and helpless and consumed by rage that wouldn't leave me, not even to go to sleep. These feelings had been around for many years, but came to a head after yet another failed relationship and a particularly tough period at work - I was literally falling apart with stress, working long hours covering the behind of a lazy line manager, who didn't appreciate me and over a number of years treated me very badly. I was struggling to remember who I was - I felt disconnected from the world and from myself and I didn't have the power or know how to change anything. Admitting I needed help was probably one of the most difficult things I have done, but probably one of the best. Setting time aside to go to counselling every week was a massive step forward itself - finding time and space for me wasn't something I had been doing much of! Through counselling I found the strength confidence and energy to reconnect with the world and myself, to channel my anger and metaphorically speaking, open my mouth and shout really, really loudly. It was tough and it felt like trying to move a mountain at times, but I've managed to reset my relationship with friends, family, my boss and most importantly, myself. My boss is now my biggest champion, and I've just been promoted which is a massive achievement. The anger, helplessness, self - loathing has now largely gone and I've now got the tools to do life and be me again. I couldn't have done it by myself and it really makes me really emotional to think about the distance I have come and what on earth would've become of me if I hadn't signed up for counselling. I am winning at life in a way I never thought I'd be able to do!

I'd just really like to thank Ian Michie for all the support he has given me over the past 6 weeks, it really has changed my life in terms of mental health and I cant thank him enough.
