Mr Chris Rankin

Excellent therapist, with many years of experience, very knowledgeable, understanding, kind and compassionate in his approach.

I came to therapy feeling pretty stuck, and to be honest, I wasn't sure if it was for me but from where I am now, it was the best decision I made for myself. I was dealing with a lot of shame, anxiety, and some big parts of my relationships that kept causing me problems. I didn't really know how to talk about any of it, but from the beginning, Chris made it genuinely easy to open up. No judgement, just real, honest conversations that actually went somewhere. For the first time, I felt safe to open up and began to feel comfortable. Over time, I started to understand myself a lot better. The shame that used to eat me up doesn't have the same hold on me anymore, my anxiety is much more manageable, and I handle myself and my relationships so much better than I used to. It has taken work, but having the right therapist in your corner makes all the difference. Really grateful.

Working with Chris was a very valuable experience. I really got to understand how influential anxiety was in different parts of my life. By finding out more about the relationship between my thoughts, feelings and behaviours, I was able to experiment with each of these and now I don't feel anxiety in the same way. Working outside has been an eye opener and I know this would be a preference for me if I go back to therapy. I would highly recommend Chris for anything anxiety related as he was very knowledgeable and comfortable to talk to and it didn't take me long to trust him and the work we were doing together.
