Carol Gordon Counselling Shirley, Croydon CR0 7NN

"Jazz held my hand through the exploration, the growth, the healing and the space to just exist. I was at a pretty low point when I reached out to Jazz. It was important to me at the time that she was relatable, had a great sense of humour, was so open and so honest. Back then (around a year ago) I couldn't actually see myself where I am right now - navigating through life from a different standpoint and through a different lense. Jazz was gentle enough in helping me to address certain issues; yet firm enough in reminding me that I was always in a safe space. I know I can always come back to regular sessions should I need them and I'm certain there will be a great sprinkling of positive experiences to share also. I'm so glad I was brave enough to make that step - Jazz made it so easy. Thank you Jazz!"

"I approached Jazz at a time when I was really at my lowest. I had experienced couples counselling before which I think was a real eye opener for me in-terms of realising I needed to work on me! COVID-19 happened and I felt trapped, lonely, overwhelmed, sad amongst other emotions...I reached out to Jazz who has provided a safe and comfortable space for me to express what I was going through. It has been a tough journey with lots of tears but I am so grateful to Jazz for her expertise and guidance that has brought me to a better place in my life. It’s amazing how Jazz enabled me to find the answers to the many questions I had (some of which I wasn’t even aware of to begin with). I am in a much better place, a happy place thanks to Jazz! Reaching out to Jazz was the best decision I made in 2020 and her being the warm, welcoming, accessible, attentive, professional that she is has made my journey through therapy a very worthwhile one."

"Throughout my brief time with Jazz, I always felt seen, heard and understood. Jazz has an energy which made me feel at ease and comfortable to explore the parts of myself which I didn't always give attention to. Even now, months later, I continue to reflect and grow based on things which I feel were discussed in sessions. I would highly recommend Jazz to anyone who is open to discovering more about themselves. Thank you Jazz, truly."

"Jazz has been my Supervisor during my studies in counselling. From the first session I felt a connection with Jazz and I had found exactly what I needed from my supervisor, understanding, kindness, professionalism and guidance. Throughout our sessions I constantly became more confident with my clients and enjoyed counselling more. I would highly recommend Jazz!"

"I have worked with Carol, as a supervisee, for over 8 years and greatly value our relationship and her guidance in my work. I experience her as deeply intuitive, insightful, courageous, creative, sensitive and generous. Her challenges have really helped me to grow and her honesty and truthfulness have been a very important part of our alliance. I would not hesitate to highly recommend her and her astute awareness of diversity issues makes her a precious resource for anyone who has the privilege to work with her."
