The Salisbury Practice

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.

Inside the building is so cosy and serene. The team are lovely and Ania was everything and more

The Salisbury Practice offers a calm and quiet space for you to connect with yourself and your therapist, away from busy daily life.

My GP recommended TSP which was encouraging in itself and yet again the GPs judgement didn't let me down. I phoned and spoke with a member of the admin team which went really well and I say that as someone who isn't a fan of making phone calls! They listened to why I was calling and explained what would happen next. Again, really helpful as I have struggled with uncertainty. Feeling confident there was a plan and an idea of when I would I hear back was important. I had a call from a clinical psychologist pretty much bang on when it had been booked for. They were kind and knowledgable and I felt involved in the decision as to who I would see, for what, and when. Yes I remained a tad nervous but no surprises there, afterall anxiety was one of my trip hazards! I find myself not being able to fault any team member I've had interactions with. Your attention to what matters, communication and seeing me as an individual, has been refreshing and for the first time in my life I have been able to discover who I am, give myself credit for my achievements and dare to dream and grow personally and professionally. Even though therapy is not always easy or comfortable, I've experienced kindness, respect and a safe place. I will always be grateful.

On behalf of all our family, we just wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for the incredible support you’ve given to our Daughter over the past year. Your care, patience, and expertise have made such a meaningful difference in helping her understand and manage Trichotillomania. The safe and supportive space created during her regular sessions made her feel heard, encouraged, and understood—and it’s been transformative to watch her confidence grow and her resilience strengthen. We’re so grateful for your commitment and compassion shown through her journey and it also helped us as parents to ensure we were equipped to provide her the best support possible. You not only helped Bella navigate a difficult challenge but also empowered her with tools and self-belief that she’ll carry with her well beyond this chapter. So much so, that it’s inspired her to perhaps one day be a psychotherapist! Our daughter also wanted to say a few words: I loved going to see you and you helped me so much. Because of you I am better and much happier now. Thank you so much Andrew for all of your support and help. We can't thank you and everyone at Salisbury Practice enough.
