I’d like to thank you for the wonderful service you provided to me, I can’t stress how important it was to be able to access this support.
The entire team at HCCG were incredible from Day 1 to my last appointment, I couldn’t have had better care.
The sessions were very supportive, unbiased and non-judgmental.
..found the whole process very powerful…I’m amazed at how much I learned about myself.
..wasn’t sure what I was going to get out of counselling but it was so helpful to unpick my thoughts.
My counsellor was so kind, helpful and understanding. It was the best counselling I have ever had.
My counsellor helped met to really contextualise my grief and depression…I feel hugely better thanks to these counselling sessions.
I am so impressed with HCCG. They provide affordable and effective professional counselling in a nice environment. It has definitely changed my life for the better.
I was in a very bad place and being very negative about ever finding someone who could help me. The counselling was my light. I would definitely recommend this.
My counselling helped me feel much more positive and clearer about things – thank you.
I have been coming for counselling sessions to help with my anxiety and depression I found it really helpful to see someone who I felt really understood how this makes me feel. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for some extra support.
Attending counselling sessions had a huge impact on me and I wish I had sought it out sooner. My counsellor helped me develop tools that helped me cope better…I would recommend this service to anyone.
In my experience, HCCG provides excellent counselling for an affordable price.
I found my counselling a very positive and helpful experience.
