The Salisbury Practice

really nice staff who take care of the visitors. i feel very relaxed when i come and feel that slowly, therapy is helping me make improvements

I was unsure where the start when first thinking about therapy therefore I really liked the process of explaining what you were hoping to achieve and being matched with the right person. When you're entering into uncomfortable conversations, it was always reassuring knowing you'd have a welcoming face opening the door.

I have found TSP to be a calm and safe space. Always welcomed with kindness by Makaela or Dr Steve Holmes. Dr Steve has a kind professionalism that helps me to lower my defences and enable me to be kinder to myself, in turn making space for my physical health needs and work with them rather than fighting against them. It seems counterintuitive yet acknowledging health restrictions has meant I can do so much more. The strategies I have learned from Dr Steve will stay with me for sure. Thank you TSP.

From the initial phone conversation I was at ease. I was matched to a superb therapist who understood me straight away. Through her steady approach she managed to help me to see a way forward. I have been amazed by the whole process and the skills it has taught me to reframe my thoughts, have helped me return to my happier, creative self. I would 100 percent recommend therapy to all and will be forever grateful to Danielle.

I recently have been to a few appointments and they really helped me. The place was really nice and comfortable and the people were so friendly and helpful.

I recently completed a course of CBT sessions with Dr Sharon Pettit, focusing on managing my anxiety, worry, and rumination. When I first began, I struggled significantly with social interactions, often feeling socially awkward and fixating on past conversations. My mind would race with worries about things entirely beyond my control, pushing my anxiety levels to an all-time high. It felt like I was in a constant state of fight or flight, from the moment I woke up until I went to bed, leaving me completely drained. Now, almost six months later, I've gained valuable tools to help manage my thoughts and emotions. While I wouldn’t say I’m completely cured, I feel about 75% better and am now enjoying a much happier life. I've decided to take a break from CBT for the time being, but I'm committed to returning if I notice my anxiety levels rising again.

I always feel welcome and relaxed. The receptionist was friendly and appropriately chatty. And the appointments always start on time

Louise was so friendly, welcoming and listened to really understand our needs and met them accordingly

I can’t thank The Salisbury Practice, and in particular Dr Steve Holmes, for the excellent support and help towards managing my chronic pain. The care and kindness shown towards me was amazing and I have greatly benefited from seeing Dr Steve. The Practice is a calm and reassuring place where I was always welcomed with warmth and compassion. I would highly recommend The Salisbury Practice.

Louise has been so kind and patient with my daughter and my daughter has enjoyed her sessions.
