Ms Gretchen Robertson

When I started my therapy sessions with Gretchen, I had no expectations. I had been to therapy before and assumed it would be a similar experience. Little did I know that this would become such a fundamental journey of self-discovery and understanding. Starting from the beginning, I was able to explore childhood experiences—both positive and challenging—and understand how they have shaped the woman I am today. Gretchen provided a safe and supportive space where I could speak freely about my feelings and experiences, often encouraging me to go deeper in my reflections. Through our sessions, I have gained a much greater understanding of myself. Gretchen is non-judgemental, compassionate, and creates an environment where I felt truly comfortable expressing myself. Although my sessions were online, this did not affect my ability to process my emotions, speak openly, cry, or simply sit with my feelings when needed. Gretchen's active listening skills are exceptional, and her thoughtful approach enabled me to engage fully in the therapeutic process. My second experience with therapy has been a transformative one and has played a significant role in my personal growth. I am incredibly grateful for the support, insight, and guidance I received throughout this journey.

Gretchen was extremely helpful with supporting me to understand more about myself and the things that were affecting me. Gretchen has a very easy going manner which made me feel safe to share personal information and private feelings. I felt encouraged to share and Gretchen’s practical tips to support me with mental health recovery felt personalised and spoke directly to me. I found the whole of my sessions extremely rewarding.

I am in my 33 session and I can see so much progress, improvement and clarity. I am really proud of where we are so far.

Gretchen was kind, warm and understanding. I always felt able to share difficult things with her and would recommend her to anybody struggling with issues in their lives

Gretchen has given me the confidence and self-understanding I've needed to be more focused on the present and less anxious about the future. Her reflective and curious practice has brought me to a point where I no longer need weekly validation/reassurance in order to have a mind that is not plagued by anxiety and sadness. Those feelings are still there, but they are much, much quieter and easier to sit with and face.

Gretchen is a warm, caring professional who seeks to understand the individual and cater to their needs. She is really accommodating and offers fantastic insights. Would strongly recommend to anyone in need of support.

I had an outstanding experience with Gretchen. Her highly attentive and personally tailored approach has left me profoundly changed for the better, all the time very mindful of professional boundaries. I have been with different therapists over the number of years, and I am incredibly grateful to have had chance to work with Gretchen. Sessions with her are the one experience I keep coming back to in my mind. For anyone looking for individually tailored approach, on a number of different topics, coming from a wide array of tactics and options, I would highly recommend Gretchen.

We had a really productive time with Gretchen. She really helped us to understand each other deeply and gave great advice about how to work toward a truly loving relationship. Gretchen was a fantastic listener and offered a lot of insightful perspectives without any judgement.
