I was scared at being vulnerable.As soon as I spoke to Tanya on the phone I knew that she was someone I could open up to and she could help me.Each session helped me massively and I have now been able to move on from traumatic events and have tools to help me deal with my anxiety.Tanya is so down to earth, kind and easy to talk to; I could not recommend her enough.If I ever need therapy again I know I will be contacting Tanya straight away.Thank you Tanya for everything!

I have suffered with pain in my neck, shoulders and clavicle due to arthritis for the last three years, but the last eight months have been the worst. I was not able to sleep and was able to less and less physically each day. I booked in for a session with Tanya who immediately put me at my ease as she was so easy to talk to. She was able to get to the root cause of the pain I was in and incredibly I am now pain free! I am able to get a good nights sleep for the first time in months and feel I can now start living life again. I would recommend New Life Therapy to anyone who is suffering with every day pain caused by arthritis and other such ailments.

After suffering with hay fever for years and years and taking over the counter medication, which did nothing to relieve my symptoms. I went to see Russ, which greatly improved my symptoms which then cleared. I can highly recommend the therapy, great support and information that was given was invaluable. 100% recommended. Thanks Russ 👍🏻

I have suffered for a few years with sharp pain in my elbow which I tried to fix with massage and physio therapy. I was recommended through a friend to see Russel. Even though I was skeptical at first I met with him and I can honestly say I have not experienced any issues with my elbow in any way since. I would highly recommend as this has changed my life for someone who works a physical job everyday. Thankyou so much

My sessions with Tanya have been really successful, with some very painful experiences that I have been through I’m my life, that I no longer have the pain when I think about.It is such a natural way to re-write the pain in our bodies “that stay if not dealt with” and I believe is the reason why many of us get illnesses.You DO NOT go under hypnosis, you just relax and she talks you by changing the way your body feels when you think about the situation.It’s calm, relaxing and so simple..I could recommend this therapy for any issue, painful past situation (PTS) and so so many more.She had also helped my 15 year old in such a way, it’s given her her life’s worth back..She had anxiety, anorexia and 8 years of bullying, death of a close relative and also a very personal issue that’s all Been dealt with.Thank you from the bottom of my heart Tanya, thank goodness we found you.

I first went to Russ after experiencing multiple panic attacks and feeling lost within myself and life.At first thinking of phoning a therapist I felt embarrassed and nervous, was I being dramatic? Did I really need help? But as soon as I had the first session with Russ I knew it was the right decision. I instantly felt relaxed, the weight of the world lifted from my shoulders and I suddenly realised.. things were finally going to get better.Russ helped me understand myself and get over past situations that had left me scarred and anxious. In total I spent 4 sessions with Russ and the positive effect he’s had on my life, my business, my relationships with my friends and family and overall happiness has been incredible. I have since recommended Russ to my friend and family member who have also benefited massively.In summary, I can not recommend Russ enough. He has helped me overcome the hardest times of my life, given me a greater understanding of myself and that has given me the power to positively progress forward in all areas of my life. But most important he helped me become happy again. Genuinely the best investment I have ever made.

I reached out to Russ after having a rough months, dealing with a few deaths, a break up and other issues that took its toll on me mentally.I have never attended/ considered therapy before but straight away I connected with Russ and felt comfortable to talk.Through our sessions, I discovered that I was struggling with issues from years back which I brushed a side but were impacting my everyday life and how I dealt with things. I can now manage these emotions and instantly I felt relief!After only 4 sessions, I'm feeling back to my normal self and would urge everyone who is struggling to seek help via New Life Therapy.Thank you!

I honestly can't thank Tanya enough! I have to admit I was slightly sceptical that this kind of thing would work for me, but I am absolutely blown away at how much this has helped me.

Having had a fair few sessions with Russ I can safely say he has saved my life.

Can't rate Tanya highly enough. I've been suffering with pain in various parts of the body after being knocked off my motorcycle over 15 years ago. After my initial visit the continual pain in my shoulder has stopped. She has helped me process feeling & thoughts in a different way, which in turn helps me to relax and also reduces the remaining pain. You feel relaxed talking to her and you can talk about anything in absolute confidence. Wish I had found her years ago!!

I went to Russ after a very difficult time in my life which I buried and ignored until I couldn't ignore it any more. I was a shell of myself and suffered badly with depression, anxiety and low self esteem, after only 4 sessions I am feeling like my old self and excited to see what my new future brings. The change from seeing Russ has been incredible and I can not recommend him highly enough for all that he has done. The environment is comfortable and there is no rushing the session meaning the sessions ended naturally and I didnt walk away feeling only half a job was done. Thank you so much for everything!

I've seen Russ a couple times now for physical pain and stress/anxiety. He is amazing, instantly made me feel comfortable and relaxed from day 1 considering I struggle talking to anyone about problems. Each time I've left feeling fresh minded, in control and happy with a healthy balance restored. His work is mind blowing, I can't reccomend him enough.Thank you for all your help and giving me clarity when things have seemed so clouded.

I was sent to Russ through my work for something I had battled alone for 20 years and had come to a head.Russ’ manner, approachability and down to earth attitude made it easy to talk to him.His techniques were nothing short of amazing and he has given me the strength and tools/mechanisms I need to maintain a mentally healthy life.In my opinion Russ is amazing. My unreserved thanks to him........ and in true Russ style ....... 👊

I had a session with Russ at new life therapy as I was pregnant and very anxious about giving birth. In the session he helped me to identify why I was anxious and helped me to relax about the thought of giving birth and empowered me making me much more positive about the experience. He gave me a visualisation technique I could use at home which I did and this helped me to relax when thinking about the birthing process. I had a really positive birthing experience and I really do believe this was thanks to my session with Russ. I would highly reccomend.

Where to start with this review... Russ has helped in more ways than one!He has helped me give up smoking after just one session!He has helped me get through a very difficult time in my life. After 8 weeks of seeing Russ I had gone from being in my lowest mindset to becoming a happy, strong and content individual.Russ has helped me on my journey become more spiritual and understand what really matters in life. I have not only got through a difficult time in my life, but I have become a better happier person. 🙏🏻Russ is very professional and friendly. At no point did I feel uncomfortable with Russ, he is easy to talk to and very understanding. He has a professional space for sessions and many different techniques to help you overcome various issues.I would highly recommend Russ, and cannot thank him enough for all his support and advice!

I was lucky enough to be put in touch with Tanya at a time when I felt like I just couldn’t cope anymore. In just 6 short sessions she helped me to change my outlook on situations life had put me through. My healing started almost immediately, and I have been left feeling stronger and more able to cope, than ever before. I would recommend Tanya in a heartbeat to anyone. She has helped me and my family. Thank you Tanya

I was was anxious about my first session as it was something I had never done before. After my first session, it was something I knew straight away was going to help. To be in an environment feeling welcomed, relaxed and completely comfortable was for me personally just as important ! Russ calming nature and knowledge really opened my eyes about things I just didn't understand, he helped me understand these things I never thought I could, for that I am so grateful. I was in a severe rut and suffered with a lot of things. To finally understand this and now live every day with a natural happiness is because of this Gentleman. I would highly recommend New Life Therapy to anyone.

Russ is a great guy! I was tentative about my appointment but he is so easy to talk to it’s like you’ve known him for years! Suffered with CFS and working with a specialist but even with all the progress I made I could never will myself to get up in the mornings. After seeing Russ I am back waking up at normal hours and while it’s not a miracle cure, you need to put the work in still to maintain, having my mornings back and not having the constant brain fog has contributed innumerably to the progression I am making with my graded exercise.Thanks so much again you legend.

To all of you reading this post, don't hesitate to get in touch with these guys.Russ helped me on 2 occasions.Firstly how many smokers out there want to quit? I thought I would always smoke. After just 1 session somehow I just felt I didn't smoke anymore. Its nearly a year on now and although I still fancy a cig, I just feel that It it gave me the help I needed to quit and stay that way.Secondly how many of you suffer from joint pain etc? I had a very sore should for a year or so before I chatted to Russ. The pain reduced by at least 70% after the session. What an instant result! Its now 6 months on and coping with my shoulder pain fine now. Its not completely gone but thats my own fault, we all gotta work.Russ and Tanya are probably the easiest people I know to feel comfortable around. So I recommend to anyone who needs help, get in touch. Im sure you will be relieved that you did!

My fourteen year old son has suffered with chronic fatigue for sixteen months. He managed to drag himself to school for a couple of lessons a week on a good week, which would completely wipe him out for days after. His illness was devastating for the whole family as we witnessed the life being sucked out of him with no apparent end in sight. Two weeks ago we approached Russ who has completely transformed my son's life. The day after his first Skype appointment my son jumped out of bed, was eager to return to school and we saw a glint in his eye that we hadn't seen for the past sixteen months. He has seen Russ three times and is now going to school for four out of six lessons daily and not crashing as he used to. I expect he will return to full time school over the next week or two. He has his social life back, a bright future ahead of him and we have our gorgeous son back. We can't thank Russ enough for his expertise and compassion and would highly recommend his services.

Tanya is a very caring and knowledgeable counsellor , nothing is rushed and she has a calming influence. I started to see Tanya at a very dark despairing time in my life, I felt immediately comfortable with her and able to speak open and honestly, something I have never done before. I would highly recommend Tanya and would definitely return in the future if the need ever arises. .....Thank you Tanya.

I cannot say enough good things about Tanya. I have asked her for help when I was waiting for an operation. She helped me to deal with stress and fear I felt at that time. Tanya is a warm, compassionate and caring listener. She has so much knowledge and understanding to share with each of her patients. I highly recommend 'New Life Therapy' to everyone!

Having had a sudden death in the family, I was having difficulty processing what had happened when Russel from “New Life Therapy” was recommended to me.I found Russel to be caring and professional every step of the way. His approach to counselling wasn’t to just get me talking, he allowed me to do that and grieve. However, the next step was new to me, Russel then went on to give me the skills to move forward, which ultimately was the therapy I needed.I can not recommend Russel and Tanya highly enough.

I reached out to Russ after having a rough months, dealing with a few deaths, a break up and other issues that took its toll on me mentally.I have never attended/ considered therapy before but straight away I connected with Russ and felt comfortable to talk.Through our sessions, I discovered that I was struggling with issues from years back which I brushed a side but were impacting my everyday life and how I dealt with things. I can now manage these emotions and instantly I felt relief!After only 4 sessions, I'm feeling back to my normal self and would urge everyone who is struggling to seek help via New Life Therapy.Thank you!

Tanya is amazing! I felt so comfortable opening up to her, she has made me feel so much lighter after finally letting go of traumatic memories built up over time. She’s also opened up my mind to really understanding my thoughts and feelings which has helped me so much! Cannot thank and recommend Tanya enough!

I honestly can't thank Tanya enough! I have to admit I was slightly sceptical that this kind of thing would work for me, but I am absolutely blown away at how much this has helped me. I am a better person, wife and mother because of it. I thank my lucky stars I found Tanya and so grateful for everything she has done for me and my family x

Brilliant! I was feeling really lost and struggling with anxiety. New life therapy really helped me to understand why I was getting anxiety and helped me to deal with it. I’m so thankful to Russ and highly recommend!

Having had a fair few sessions with Russ I can safely say he has saved my life. Suffering with depression and PTSD was a hard few years but Russ has helped me turn my life around and I will never find the words to thank him enough. So welcoming and understanding and non judgemental to everything. Thank you Russ.

Tan helped me to deal with deep seated insecurity, trust issues and fear stemming from events many years ago. I still cannot believe what a profound effect her sessions have had on my life. I would recommend New Life Therapy to everyone (and I do!)

Can't rate Tanya highly enough. I've been suffering with pain in various parts of the body after being knocked off my motorcycle over 15 years ago. After my initial visit the continual pain in my shoulder has stopped. She has helped me process feeling & thoughts in a different way, which in turn helps me to relax and also reduces the remaining pain. You feel relaxed talking to her and you can talk about anything in absolute confidence. Wish I had found her years ago!!

I went to Russ after a very difficult time in my life which I buried and ignored until I couldn't ignore it any more. I was a shell of myself and suffered badly with depression, anxiety and low self esteem, after only 4 sessions I am feeling like my old self and excited to see what my new future brings. The change from seeing Russ has been incredible and I can not recommend him highly enough for all that he has done. The environment is comfortable and there is no rushing the session meaning the sessions ended naturally and I didnt walk away feeling only half a job was done. Thank you so much for everything!

I went to see Russ, after feeling like everything I have tried to get my lifestyle and mind healthier had failed. This was basically my last resort, he made me feel right at home from the moment I met him.Thank you so much for helping me get to the root of my issues and helping me learn how to deal with them, in a healthier way.I couldn't recommend him enough!

I've seen Russ a couple times now for physical pain and stress/anxiety. He is amazing, instantly made me feel comfortable and relaxed from day 1 considering I struggle talking to anyone about problems. Each time I've left feeling fresh minded, in control and happy with a healthy balance restored. His work is mind blowing, I can't reccomend him enough.Thank you for all your help and giving me clarity when things have seemed so clouded.

I was sent to Russ through my work for something I had battled alone for 20 years and had come to a head.Russ’ manner, approachability and down to earth attitude made it easy to talk to him.His techniques were nothing short of amazing and he has given me the strength and tools/mechanisms I need to maintain a mentally healthy life.In my opinion Russ is amazing. My unreserved thanks to him........ and in true Russ style ....... 👊

I had a session with Russ at new life therapy as I was pregnant and very anxious about giving birth. In the session he helped me to identify why I was anxious and helped me to relax about the thought of giving birth and empowered me making me much more positive about the experience. He gave me a visualisation technique I could use at home which I did and this helped me to relax when thinking about the birthing process. I had a really positive birthing experience and I really do believe this was thanks to my session with Russ. I would highly reccomend.

Where to start with this review... Russ has helped in more ways than one!He has helped me give up smoking after just one session!He has helped me get through a very difficult time in my life. After 8 weeks of seeing Russ I had gone from being in my lowest mindset to becoming a happy, strong and content individual.Russ has helped me on my journey become more spiritual and understand what really matters in life. I have not only got through a difficult time in my life, but I have become a better happier person. 🙏🏻Russ is very professional and friendly. At no point did I feel uncomfortable with Russ, he is easy to talk to and very understanding. He has a professional space for sessions and many different techniques to help you overcome various issues.I would highly recommend Russ, and cannot thank him enough for all his support and advice!

I was lucky enough to be put in touch with Tanya at a time when I felt like I just couldn’t cope anymore. In just 6 short sessions she helped me to change my outlook on situations life had put me through. My healing started almost immediately, and I have been left feeling stronger and more able to cope, than ever before. I would recommend Tanya in a heartbeat to anyone. She has helped me and my family. Thank you Tanya

I cannot thank this man enough! I have experienced several extremely difficult circumstances that left me in a bad way. I thought I could deal with these myself and didn't believe anyone could help. However I was so wrong. I will be forever grateful for the help support and advice I received and cannot recommend this man enough

I was was anxious about my first session as it was something I had never done before. After my first session, it was something I knew straight away was going to help. To be in an environment feeling welcomed, relaxed and completely comfortable was for me personally just as important ! Russ calming nature and knowledge really opened my eyes about things I just didn't understand, he helped me understand these things I never thought I could, for that I am so grateful. I was in a severe rut and suffered with a lot of things. To finally understand this and now live every day with a natural happiness is because of this Gentleman. I would highly recommend New Life Therapy to anyone.

Russ is a great guy! I was tentative about my appointment but he is so easy to talk to it’s like you’ve known him for years! Suffered with CFS and working with a specialist but even with all the progress I made I could never will myself to get up in the mornings. After seeing Russ I am back waking up at normal hours and while it’s not a miracle cure, you need to put the work in still to maintain, having my mornings back and not having the constant brain fog has contributed innumerably to the progression I am making with my graded exercise.Thanks so much again you legend.

To all of you reading this post, don't hesitate to get in touch with these guys.Russ helped me on 2 occasions.Firstly how many smokers out there want to quit? I thought I would always smoke. After just 1 session somehow I just felt I didn't smoke anymore. Its nearly a year on now and although I still fancy a cig, I just feel that It it gave me the help I needed to quit and stay that way.Secondly how many of you suffer from joint pain etc? I had a very sore should for a year or so before I chatted to Russ. The pain reduced by at least 70% after the session. What an instant result! Its now 6 months on and coping with my shoulder pain fine now. Its not completely gone but thats my own fault, we all gotta work.Russ and Tanya are probably the easiest people I know to feel comfortable around. So I recommend to anyone who needs help, get in touch. Im sure you will be relieved that you did!

My fourteen year old son has suffered with chronic fatigue for sixteen months. He managed to drag himself to school for a couple of lessons a week on a good week, which would completely wipe him out for days after. His illness was devastating for the whole family as we witnessed the life being sucked out of him with no apparent end in sight. Two weeks ago we approached Russ who has completely transformed my son's life. The day after his first Skype appointment my son jumped out of bed, was eager to return to school and we saw a glint in his eye that we hadn't seen for the past sixteen months. He has seen Russ three times and is now going to school for four out of six lessons daily and not crashing as he used to. I expect he will return to full time school over the next week or two. He has his social life back, a bright future ahead of him and we have our gorgeous son back. We can't thank Russ enough for his expertise and compassion and would highly recommend his services.

Tanya is a very caring and knowledgeable counsellor , nothing is rushed and she has a calming influence. I started to see Tanya at a very dark despairing time in my life, I felt immediately comfortable with her and able to speak open and honestly, something I have never done before. I would highly recommend Tanya and would definitely return in the future if the need ever arises. .....Thank you Tanya.

I cannot say enough good things about Tanya. I have asked her for help when I was waiting for an operation. She helped me to deal with stress and fear I felt at that time. Tanya is a warm, compassionate and caring listener. She has so much knowledge and understanding to share with each of her patients. I highly recommend 'New Life Therapy' to everyone!

Having had a sudden death in the family, I was having difficulty processing what had happened when Russel from “New Life Therapy” was recommended to me.I found Russel to be caring and professional every step of the way. His approach to counselling wasn’t to just get me talking, he allowed me to do that and grieve. However, the next step was new to me, Russel then went on to give me the skills to move forward, which ultimately was the therapy I needed.I can not recommend Russel and Tanya highly enough.
