I cannot thank this wonderful lady enough for what she has done for me. She sat and listened to my "issues" and came up with a plan that has saved my marriage and has made me look at life in a different way. She even helped me with my bad back which I have suffered with for years. I would 100% recommend Carol if you are looking for help, and I'll definitely be going back for my "MOT" soon. Thank you so much, Nigel

Carol gave me the confidence that I needed to get over my panic attacks and anxiety. She was personable, honest & knowledgeable. She taught me many techniques that I would never have thought of but truly work. Felt like I’d tried everything and nothing worked but I do feel like I have my life back on track thanks to Carol.

A year ago I was in a low place, very emotional and restless mind. I couldn't rationalise and was loosing trust in myself. I knew I needed to do something and so looked up counselling services near me and came across Carol. From my first email Carol was so easy to talk to, friendly and had such a calming presence. I only had three maybe four sessions but my goodness did they totally work, Carol taught me a few simple techniques to be practising at home and whilst in the sessions allowed me to be open and explore the emotions I was feeling with no judgement but with perspective. I went to my first session thinking I needed help in so many areas but actually working on my self esteem and confidence in trusting my own decision making has actually helped me in all the areas.
I had my last session at the end of march but was holding off writing my review as I was concerned that as winter approached I would fall back, I time I used to love but for a few years really struggled with, but instead I have felt the excitement of the festive season and have been able to enjoy this time of year again. The only emotion was the realisation that the last few years I was unwell but that now I was better and that was a huge relief. I have no doubt there will be times that are hard again but I have the techniques Carol taught me and I know Carol is just an email or call away. Thank you Carol

Carol led the MHFA course that I recently completed, Carol shared great knowledge and experience. The course was delivered in a calm and caring manner.

Carol was our trainer on a Metal Health First Aid Course. She shared her knowledge and experience freely with the group and steered the course through difficult topics with ease and care. A first rate and professional trainer - I do not hesitate in recommending her.

I attended MHFA Training for which Carol was the instructor. She was really great , her ability to share real life experiences made the training so interesting, the time flew by. It can sometimes be difficult delivering this sort of training over IT platforms but Carol ensuredtgat everyone was engaged , thank you!

Carol’s sessions are of huge value to the team and to me personally in helping us to develop the skills to protect and develop our mental health. Carol’s calmly delivered coaching, gained through personal experience and the acquisition of an incredible amount of knowledge through study make her an essential asset to a business. I thoroughly recommend Carol’s services to anyone.

I had an excellent session with Carol Hickson to help me address my phobia. Carol was thoroughly professional and supportive throughout our session, as well as being very insightful about the causes of my issues and how to address them.
I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who needs this sort of help.
Thank you Carol

Carol very kindly offered to work with me, as I’d been suffering from chronic pain for the past two years, sadly with no diagnosis, which was having a negative impact my personal and professional life.
Having now received a diagnosis, I realise that only surgery can cure my health issues, but Carol helped immensely in the interim, she listened, and was very supportive in my time with her. Carol showed me techniques to focus my mind away from the pain, which really helped me to relax.
Carol’s knowledge regarding therapies is vast and she ensures to listen to your situation, so that she knows the best therapy to use for you.
I really appreciate Carol’s approach, and also the practical advice that she gave to me, to use outside of our sessions. I found Carol to be a very thoughtful and engaging therapist, and would highly recommend her therapy service, covering Hypnotherapy, EFT, Mindfulness and Reiki to anyone!

I rarely write reviews however following working with the incredible Carol Hickson I felt compelled to do so. Carol has transformed my mental state and well-being. I have always been a resilient person but have struggled with various life pressures lately and recognised that I needed some help. Carol was lovely. She listened to me and I felt that she completely understood me and my situation. We had a long initial phone consultation which instantly made me feel like I was in good hands. Subsequently we worked in person as she introducing various strategies to help with my situation. I now feel equipped to combat what life throws at me. She is truly a approachable, compassionate and knowledgable professional and I can’t recommend her highly enough! Thank you Carol.

Human, compassionate, practical assistance. Nothing is too much trouble. I found Carol’s help invaluable

I was introduced to Carol by a mutual contact who thought we may be able to work Together professionally.
Although I warmed to Carol immediately, such a lovely and sincere person, I was honestly a little sceptical about how the therapy she offered would work. However, we got talking about my personal situation and Carol convinced me (in conversation not pushing) to book a session with her.
I'M SO GLAD I DID.
Like most people I've been on a bit of a rollercoaster with my mental health - particularly during the pandemic which exacerbated my situation.
One session with Carol helped me to overcome some issues I had been clinging to, rationalise them and ultimately move on from them and improve my mental health.
I genuinely cannot thank Carol enough for her support and help. Without her I'd still be holding on to experiences that only served to damage me and hurt people I love.
THANK YOU Carol.

I worked with Carol for several weeks, both individually and in a series of small group sessions. At the time I was suffering from anxiety due to issues with my youngest son and a stressful job. This had been building and ignored by me for several years, until I finally realised I wasn't coping. I found Carol to be empathetic and intelligent; she was an excellent support and coach, and the range of techniques and guidance she offered were very successful. The sessions were both extremely useful but also relaxing and enjoyable; I did not miss a single one! To this day, I use what Carol taught me, and her written materials have accompanied me to Vietnam, where I currently live and work; indeed, I doubt I would have made that move without her help. I would recommend Carol very highly!
I am now reading her book, which is giving me further insight, and is excellent. I will provide further review when I have finished reading!

I attended a therapy session with Carol recently and she used a number of techniques to get to the real root of the difficulties I have had. Whilst she was very empathetic, the session was quite light and I was able to put aside and move on from issues that I had been carrying round for many years.
If you want to engage with a therapist who will help you have a lasting resolution the issues you have, you should definitely get in touch with Carol.

Carol came to do a short introduction to tapping with an art group I was running. The group were looking at good mental health using crochet and other things to help lift mood. I found it really moving. Just a little simple tapping and thinking seemed to open up emotions. Carol cares about those she works for and is a calming force.

Life changing.
I have had the good fortune to work with Carol Hickson.
For me it has been life changing.
She has enabled me to identify & manage extensive issues with pain management, anxiety, self doubt & confidence.
I have recommended her services to others & would encourage anyone struggling with any manner of things to do likewise.

Carol is a wonderful, warm and welcoming person. She makes you feel totally at ease and safe. I had tried lots of things before but nothing worked. Carol made such a difference to my life. She is very knowledgeable and always studying to improve herself and others. Highly recommended

Very perceptive and reassuring. Feel totally at ease.

Carol is very knowledgeable and has some fascinating therapy techniques that really work. After just one session with her, I could feel the difference. I am not an open person and was anxious to try this but she put my mind at rest straight away and I'm looking forward to a few more to get myself thinking a lot straighter and coping better with stress in particular! Would highly recommend.

Carol was recommended to me by a friend as I am not a good sleeper because I have such a ‘busy mind’.
Having tried many treatments over many years I decided to seek help as it was affecting my general well being.
After my first session with Carol, she got right to the point. I have had a lot of grief and heartache in my life that I never really dealt with. It wasn’t as if I was made to relive my past just get more in touch with myself and try to accept the past and live in the moment.
She made me think and question myself and take out for myself and learn some techniques to relax myself.
I was a little apprehensive and didn’t want sessions to get too deep but I totally relaxed with Carol.
She just ‘gets it’, never judgemental.
If you have any problems or worries at all I am sure Carol can help you. Give her a try you owe it to yourself.
I am looking forward to another session and I feel so much better already. Also I learnt to use zoom!
