Client Reviews

  • "Completing EMDR therapy has been life changing and really insightful.  I learnt a lot about myself and have been astounded at the impact of reprocessing memories I wasn’t even aware were affecting me.  Through EMDR I have been able to make and sustain a number of changes that I did not think was possible.  Dr Lindon was kind, generous and empathetic and her approach really supported my progress.  I have recommended EMDR to so many people following my really positive experience."

  • "With Dr Lindon's help and guidance, I was able to develop strategies that have since helped me deal with stressful situations that I would have previously struggled with and to help me with negative beliefs, thoughts and feelings I've held about myself for several years."

  • "Frances is a very skilled therapist who supported me to overcome some very complex trauma. She made me feel safe and able to explore my difficulties in a very containing way. I will be forever grateful for my therapy with her and would fully recommend her services."

  • "I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Lindon over a number of sessions, and the help I received was outstanding. From the very first session I began to notice a difference, and the improvements continued throughout. I was treated with warmth, dignity and compassion, and was made to feel completely comfortable and at-ease throughout. Dr. Lindon is a very genuine and caring lady. Highly recommended,  R. Smith."

  • Callum says "I have found EMDR therapy to be life-changing, I was initially sceptical of the process but I cannot argue against the results which have been immensely positive for me. I found Frances to be very empathetic and felt listened to throughout the process. This is, without doubt, the best thing I have ever done and my only regret is not doing it sooner."
