“Goodmorning Ann Marie

I saw you a year ago and was clearing out a draw over the weekend and came across your business card and thought I would give you an update. Since last seeing you in July last year, I have found myself a new job. I left *** end of September and now work for a small *** as ***, there are five of us in the company so it is like a family and you are certainly looked after and thought highly of. ***** My family life has sorted itself out and I now think of things in a total different light. I no longer have stress in my life and am a lot happier.

Talking with you made me see a lot of things differently and how I approached things in my life and have changed my ways, which has made other people see me in a different light, so many many thanks for your guidance. No only have you helped me but my friends and family have also benefited.

Kind regards
**** “

“ Anne Marie,

Thank you for sharing the journey. I would not have wished to have travelled so far with anyone else – you supported me in finding my voice and setting myself free from the chains of my past. Like the butterfly, I have found my wings and have taken flight.
Gods Blessings on you,

With respect,”

“Hi. My name is ****** ** ***** and I was going through a bad phase in my life. I went to see my GP and he recommend to see Ann Marie... I was depressed, had no self-esteem or confidence. I felt that my life was over. When I met Ann, little by little my life changed for the better. She helped to see what I was worth and that life was only beginning... and she was right. I got stronger every time I saw her and my life changed. Today I'm a happy woman and confident as well..

All I can say is thank you Ann Marie for Everything..."

Ann Marie,

I have been suffering from, what I would call, severe depression for the last 5 years, to the point of wanting to stay at home, in bed, meeting no one, speaking to no one. Before that, all I can remember is feeling stressed most of the time, even during my weekend and my holidays, never being able to enjoy the present moment, or joy, since I was 15. I have been trying to seek advice and help from professionals over the recent years, but I felt I could not open up entirely and in fact I ended the therapies I was having since I saw them more as a chore and did not feel I was getting anything out of it. I was trying to convince myself that I would get better, somehow, on my own, and that my life would turn better, but I knew deep down I was struggling a lot, every day: at work, with friends, with family, with my husband.

This year, after what should have been a fantastic holiday in Egypt, I still felt extremely depressed. When I returned, I started to feel aggressive inside, and was considering ending this life of mine since all I was experiencing felt like a chore I could no longer cope with. I am 35 and I admitted to myself that I seriously needed help and could not sort this out on my own. At the same time, although I felt utter despair, I was hoping that life could be better, even for me.

My GP recommended that I see Ann Marie Clarke. I promised myself I would not give up this time, and this decision was made easier when I felt I could really open up to Ann Marie, whom I saw more as a loving friend than as a therapist after the second session.

I am enjoying my sessions fully and I feel love and energy from Ann Marie which gives me amazing strength. In a matter of 2 months, after seeing Ann Marie every week, I feel alive, I feel happy, I feel my life has turned for the better, I have made new friends, I have reconciled with members of my family I had not spoken to in years, I truly love people. I manage to compliment them for who they are, or what they wear, I organise fun activities for the weekend, I talk honestly to people, I no longer dread work on Sunday evenings! I live!! My family and my husband have noticed a terrific change in me. I am a real example of hope for anyone who is in complete despair with their life.

I continue seeing Ann Marie since I keep discovering ghosts in my past that have put so much inhibition on my ability to live fully and properly. But I now know I can fight them off!

Thank you Ann Marie and I look forward to seeing you next week.
