Rate Chantell Smith-Minns

Chantell has been absolutely amazing as my therapist for the last year and a half. She has been the non-judgemental, supporting, soundboard that I was looking for in therapy as I was dubious about joining initially. From day 1 I have felt heard and seen in a way that has led to me seeing myself in a different light. It is quite remarkable how Chantell accurately inserts herself at key points to help me think and provide a perspective which often focuses on what I need for myself. Her presence has helped me transform myself; I have more awareness of my own pitfalls and have started to insert a pause before I react or revert back to old habits, I have made so much progress with my comfort eating habits and managing my own meltdowns. I have learned to be more present in daily life and less dopamine seeking, less focused on worrying about the future/what I don't have, am learning to manage my neurodivergent needs, and finding ways to help 'fill my children's cups' with connection and quality time. I look forward to reaching a moment where I feel confident enough to handle life on my terms without support soon.

Chantell is always available to contact and will almost always reply in a few hours, even on the weekend. My weekly calls are always well structured, and she ensures to remember items that have been discussed in the previous weeks to see how they are developing.

A great therapist who knows when to give space to talk freely and provides timely accurate responses which makes you pause reflectively about your life. She has a great knack to listen and ask subtle thought provoking questions yet can help you guide yourself carefully without feeling overwhelmed. Your presence in my life in 5 months has transformed me to break conditioned cycles of behaviour, thought processes and see myself through a clearer lens. Chantell takes away the perceived stigma of therapy as you are completely relaxed and at ease throughout her sessions and never made to feel you're talking to a stranger.

Fantastic therapist. Very patient. Gives plenty of room to explore ideas. Regularly helps me see things about myself that I previously couldn't.

Chantell is always available to respond to messages, whether it be on her day off or over the weekend. She is always supportive and non-judgmental and very receptive to what I need.

I had 8 sessions with Chantelle for help with anxiety, stress and guilt. I feel worlds better and also feel she gave me the tools to help with anxiety in the future. She makes you feel very safe and valued, and I can't thank her enough! I'll miss our sessions.

Chantell is super kind, understanding and a pleasure to talk to. She has helped me regain my confidence which has allowed me to feel proud of myself. I am incredibly grateful for her help. The tips and advice that she shared with me will stick long into the future.
