Testimonials

What our clients are saying…

Florence saved our marriage and our family. We first came to Nightingale at our wits end, struggling with cultural differences and the challenges of parenting a toddler and a new baby. We both felt separation was imminent, however Florence managed to help us through such a difficult time.

We would never have believed the changes that Florence has made to our relationship; we really thought we were on the verge of separating. Our relationship is a work in progress but 100% better than the 1st day we set foot in her room. Florence is very easy to talk to and has taught us that our differences in nature are what make us work as a couple. She has amazing insight. This is evident in how well she knows and can read us both as individuals. Florence has not only helped us with our relationship but, in turn, helped us deal with our own life experiences, past and present. We definitely know ourselves as individuals so much better. We can’t thank Florence enough and would recommend her counselling to anyone.

By the time we arrived at Nightingale it felt as though it was already too late. We could barely speak to each other without anger or tears and there seemed to be no common ground. Sessions with Florence gave us space and a safe place to talk. Slowly and sensitively, she helped us explore how we had reached this point and to think about how we might move forward. We developed a new understanding of what had led to our growing apart and empathy for each other’s feelings.

Working with Florence was such a positive experience. I would highly recommend her to any couples who may be considering counselling. Counselling seemed like a very daunting process prior to meeting Florence but she made us both feel at ease, and we left after each session feeling revitalised and positive. Our relationship is stronger than ever, and we are both eternally grateful for the work Florence did with us. Thank you so very much.

My visit to Florence was my first experience of counselling. I felt instantly understood and relief at being able to talk it all through which was balm to my soul. My husband and I visited Florence together which was so very helpful in seeing each other through different eyes. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nightingales to anyone in need of direction.

I used to think counselling was valuable for other people, but not something I would ever need. Five years into my second marriage, my husband and I were struggling with our relationship and the challenges of step-children. Luckily for us, our eventual frustration led us to Florence. From that first meeting, I felt a sense of confidence in her and in the process of counselling. Through Florence, we learnt to listen to each other, be honest about ourselves and find compromises. It’s hard to talk honestly about difficult feelings, but Florence always made it feel safe. I enjoyed her sense of humour and her direct, no messing approach. I have learnt so much from Florence about relationships, parenting and myself. I will always be grateful for her insight, wisdom and kindness – for me, it has been life-changing.

Our marriage had been going through a rough patch after 15 years together, we were keen to work things out but there was too much blame and upset to resolve and we needed help. Due to the intimate nature of counselling we needed to know that whoever we opened up to would work with us and guide us to conclude longstanding issues of conflict, trust and intimacy. Florence came highly recommended by a family member, and over several sessions she helped us break down and understand the reasons for our issues, allowing us to alter our behaviour and rebuild our relationship. Our marriage has been transformed… we have grown closer, have a stronger understanding and appreciation of each other, and the fun factor of our relationship has returned. Thank you, Florence, for helping us find each other again.
