Client feedback

“Pippa encouraged me to see old patterns of behaviour from a different and more helpful perspective. It sounds like easy work but changing long-held beliefs and behaviour is never easy. However, due to her deep insight and kind support, I often left with a sense of clarity and optimism. I feel extremely fortunate to have had Pippa as my wise, unflinching guide.”

Client testimonial (January 2025)

“I have worked with Pippa across nearly three years, and her insights have transformed how I feel about my relationships with my significant others, helped me to realise how I have been stuck in relationship dynamics that are not meeting deep-rooted needs, and slowly shift those dynamics in ways that give greater scope for my needs to be actualised.

Pippa is an immensely accomplished, skilled psychotherapist. I feel listened to and attentively heard. Her interpretations are astute, provocative and affirming. Very valuably she also attends closely to the wider contexts of my life in terms of my gender, class and racialized social positioning and those of others around me; shedding light on the emotional experiences of these structural aspects to my life, but richly and without assumption or stereotyping. Her support has helped me to get through some of the biggest challenges that life has thrown at me.”

Client testimonial, April 2026

“Couples counselling with Pippa gave my wife and I a safe space to talk openly about our feelings and the challenges we were facing. She offered support and compassion without judgement. With Pippa’s input we both felt heard and were more able to hear and understand each other. She also helped me to better understand my own behaviours and patterns."

Client testimonial, May 2026

“The weekly sessions with Pippa, during a difficult time in my life, were fundamental in me being able to navigate my relationship, and the changes we were going though, positively and with hope and kindness."
