“I was very apprehensive to start CBT due to never having anything like this before. But after just one session my worries subsided. The therapist was incredibly empathetic and compassionate. I felt extremely comfortable sharing my thoughts and never once felt judged. Instead, I felt understood, heard and seen. The tools have now become invaluable to me and my progress going forward.”

“You are fantastic at what you do. Incredibly down to earth, kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, practical and warm. I found you were always able to give great examples, explain things very well and always validated the way I felt and the things we spoke about. I felt listened to and heard, and that was really important. The tools you showed me are really bespoke to what I need help with, so were really well chosen. Thank you so much for your time and care. I will be keeping your details for if I ever need them again.”

“I will 100% recommended your services to anybody who needs them without a doubt. I will be forever grateful to you.”

“Thank you for the time you have spent with me over the last four months. I think I have talked to you more in the sessions than anyone else in the last two years.”

“I wanted to send you this to say how grateful I am for your support over the last few months. We have together looked at a lot of issues from my past and have had your complete empathy, acknowledgement and understanding has meant so much. I feel able to now carry on the path that is right for me and thank you most sincerely for getting me to this point. I will be in touch in the future should the need arise.”

“My expectations were exceeded. I couldn’t see how anyone could fix me in less than a year, never mind twelve sessions. It has given me some life skills that will benefit not only my anxiety but also my relationship with my wife. Your manner is great, you made me feel relaxed and was compassionate. You are obviously in the right job.”

“When I contacted Dronfield Psychological Therapies I was a little nervous and unsure what to expect. From the first meeting Katy put me at ease. I explained my issues which tended to centre around my anxiety. It was a bumpy ride to start with, and I began to wonder if my sessions were helping but as they say, things may have to get worse before they get better. Sure enough, as the weeks progressed, I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel and my confidence in myself and my ability to deal with anxiety grew with the help and support from Katy. The strategies we talked about, and I used made me stronger and this grew due to katy’s praise and confidence in my ability to overcome my problems. I continue to use these and build upon them and know if I am in need if further help, I can just make a call.”

“It's been absolutely Fabulous. I would recommend you to anyone. It's been a big help and has helped me get my life back together I'd have been lost without you.”

“I have recently completed a therapy course with Amy Mayfield I initially sought help to assist me with anxiety self-doubt and stress following a tough period of my life. Amy is a true credit to her profession through her guidance and advice I have now learned how to self-control my extremely busy mind. I would advise anyone that is considering speaking to Amy to do it immediately without any concern about being judged. You will not regret this decision, and it will be the first step towards a better life. Thank you again Amy you are brilliant.”

“I am Proof – Testimony from a client of Chloe Formby”

“I had suffered for years with misdiagnosis and bouts of severe depression / anxiety coupled with failed coping mechanisms, intrusive and unhelpful thought patterns.”

“Flowery words and compliments are one thing in a testimony or review but when you can actually quantify your progress it means you really were being treated by one of the best in the field. I”

“Due to past childhood abuse, I suffered trauma flashbacks which plagued my adult life. These episodes have drastically reduced to the point they no longer punctuate my weeks or months. Chloe painstakingly worked through processing the worst of the flashbacks and following this work I can now say I enjoy months of mental and emotional stability, where in the past my thoughts felt like a roller coaster.”

“My close friends and family have all commented at different times on the positive changes in me.”

“To my fellow sufferers,”

“Chloe’s approach is a combination of gently challenging unhelpful and at times damaging thought patterns and coping mechanisms, but she will also approach your traumas with deep empathy, offering comfort and understanding. Sessions are never the same or boring, she has the capacity to guide her clients with levity and humour. In some sessions we ended in fits of laughter at how ridiculous modern life can be and other sessions were conducted with extreme care when approaching more difficult topics and sensitive issues, in these cases she treats the with the appropriate gravitas and seriousness the subject matter deserves.”

“I can promise that it is worth the wait. Finding the right therapist is almost as difficult as landing your dream job so put aside past perceptions and bad experiences of therapy because they are not all the same.”

“Just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you have done for me over the past few months. When I first saw you, I was so low to the point where I thought I didn’t want to be on this planet anymore. I felt so awful since my accident, with constant flashbacks, insomnia, months off work. I felt isolated as I was unable to get out and see my friends. I was so skeptical about EMDR but had heard good things from my husband’s colleagues in the ambulance service. So, I really tried to go into the treatment with a mindset that I wanted to get better, I was fed up of feeling fed up. My. Word, the EMDR with you was magic! After a few sessions I was able to go back to my accident site and was even able to go back to work at the hospital next. To my accident site. Something I have not been able to do for the past two years. I finally. Feel like I am starting to get my freedom back and feel I can just go out in the car now and see my friends and family. So, thank you so much. It literally has been life changing for me.”

“It has really helped me to develop who I am today. I feel resilient again. It. Was really great. Thank you for being you. My mental health is way better. My PTSD symptoms have all gone. You have been really. lovely, I got on with you straight away. I am happy, content and enjoying. Life. I have come through a dark tunnel and now my life is bright again. It has motivated me to train as a counsellor and help others like you have helped me.”

“Just want to say thank you for everything. Listening. To me and not judging my rants! You were very down to earth but professional at the same time and I was made to feel comfortable and able to open up. I’d be reluctant before, and the stigma attached but now I won’t. think twice about it due to the positive experience at your place.”

“It’s done a great job in understanding and finding solutions to my problems. It was a safe space where I could be really honest. You made it feel easy for me to do. I like how you bring real world examples and situations, which made it more relatable. It has given me some good thoughts about how to deal with any challenges moving forwards. I have used lots of techniques and they have really helped.”

“Flowery words and compliments are one thing in a testimony or review but when you can actually quantify your progress it means you really were being treated by one of the best in the field. II am writing this review on my 1-year anniversary of sobriety, a journey I embarked on under Chloe’s capable guidance. Due to past childhood abuse, I suffered trauma flashbacks which plagued my adult life. These episodes have drastically reduced to the point they no longer punctuate my weeks or months. Chloe painstakingly worked through processing the worst of the flashbacks and following this work I can now say I enjoy months of mental and emotional stability, where in the past my thoughts felt like a roller coaster.”

“Chloe is an expert in her field if you are looking for skills based, goal-oriented CBT where you can see results in yourself within weeks and months however she feels unique in that she is also an expert in tackling past traumas. With deep empathy, patience and acute understanding, she can work with you on traumas and CPTSD through EMDR therapy. The combination of the two in the 14 months I was in therapy with her culminated in a life that is almost unrecognizably improved. I can attest that seeking therapy with a therapist that continues her training on the latest break throughs and studies in psychology will be nothing short of life changing. She approaches diagnosis and skills-based therapy, armed with the newest findings so you know that you are always on the receiving end of the best mental healthcare treatment in the country.”

“Chloe’s approach is a combination of gently challenging unhelpful and at times damaging thought patterns and coping mechanisms, but she will also approach your traumas with deep empathy, offering comfort and understanding. Sessions are never the same or boring, she has the capacity to guide her clients with levity and humour. In some sessions we ended in fits of laughter at how ridiculous modern life can be and other sessions were conducted with extreme care when approaching more difficult topics and sensitive issues, in these cases she treats the with the appropriate gravitas and seriousness the subject matter deserves.”

“I had six weeks of therapy with the lovely Chloe Formby. She’s helped me overcome my fears of driving after being in a serious car accident. If you need therapy, I would highly recommend Chloe. I would also like to thank her for her patience with me and making me feel comfortable and confident to talk to her about anything. I wish her well in the future.”

“It helped me massively. I was rock bottom and in a bad place. I had a dark cloud over me and dark thoughts. I never felt judged and felt I could be honest and open. It has given me strategies to see things in a more helpful way. You have been a rock and really helped, and I really appreciate it. Thank you for all your support and help over my therapy journey. It has helped me get back on the road to recovery,”
