My daughter, who was 16 at the time was under Bryony's care. She doesn't connect well with most people had an instant connection with Bryony. Bryony helped her tremendously and in fact she has never connected with another psychologist as she did with Bryony. I would highly recommend Bryony to anybody who is needing help and support.

I have worked through and will probably continue to work through a number of issues with Bryony. Perhaps not surprisingly most of these issues had their genesis in my childhood. What is perhaps very surprising is that Bryony is somewhat younger than my children, whereas I am an elderly male. Her lack of self greatly enabled me to be very comfortable opening up to her and her gentle direction and sage suggestions have helped me greatly.

I originally found Bryony through my fellow students at Stellenbosch University. Bryony has helped me enormously with the challenges that university brings and guidance through anxiety and depression. Bryony is a gentle, passionate and transparent psychologist that has been a major support over the past three years. Bryony’s expressions and examples have helped me implement her teachings in my everyday life. I enjoy my sessions with Bryony in her warm and comfortable office and would highly recommend Bryony to any individual in need of high-quality assistance in self-development. In many ways, Bryony has changed my life in terms of thinking and behaving for the better.

Bryony was my first ever experience with a psychologist and therapy. She was a great choice. Walking into her office the first t in me, I thought, being a naturally guarded person, that it would be difficult to open up and I would feel judged. This was not the case at all. Bryony's space, energy and demeanor makes opening up and being vulnerable natural and easy. She truly has helped me get to know myself better and I have seen the ripple effect this has had in the relationships around me. I like that Bryony is ready to be real with me and quite blunt sometimes. I really appreciated the way she gently challenged me. I am grateful how, even though, I don't have regular therapy anymore I still use the tools Bryony taught me everyday.

Bryony works with me in a way no other psychologist has before, completely calm and gentle but will be direct and harsh when I need it. She manages to get to the core of the issue before I even know there is an issue. I often find myself thinking "what would Bryony tell me now?" when I am going through a difficult patch in my day. Not only have I been taught how to understand and process my emotions, but I have also been taught how to cope with them when I do not have immediate psychological / emotional support in my vicinity. Bryony is incredibly inspirational and I feel I learn so many new things when I am finished with each appointment with her.

I had never felt very comfortable sharing my feelings, and was reluctant to try therapy. Luckily for me I chose Bryony. I felt instantly at ease in her space. It was inviting and peaceful, and so was she. She just made me feel comfortable and safe. Healing is a process and I could not have chosen anyone better to guide me through it. I can say confidently that Bryony's approach worked for me. What I like most about her is that instead of telling me what I should do or talk about, she guided me through the process. Giving me the ability to make my own progress and insights. It made me feel empowered and gave me a greater insight into myself, the people in my life, and my behaviour patterns. I now have effective coping mechanisms, and I will continue to implement these for the rest of my life. In my opinion, the best therapy is not the kind that seeks to 'fix' problems, it’s the kind that teaches you that it's okay to not always be okay. I’ve learnt, with Bryony’s help, that asking for help is a positive thing. It doesn't make you weak or broken, it makes you strong. Good therapy teaches you to face your demons, work through them, and learn ways to cope and pull yourself out of dark holes. That's what Bryony did for me.

As a student, Bryony has been an invaluable part of my university experience. She has provided me with a space to express and work through many different kinds of thoughts and feelings, and I have seen the positive effects of her guidance in my relationships, self-esteem, studies and overall mental well-being. I rest safe in the knowledge that I can overcome the challenges of university and beyond with Bryony there to support me.

Therapy is tough. You might think the initial leap of faith into the world of your psyche is the hardest decision you’ll make, but for me, staying in therapy is the hardest decision. Bryony’s clinical experience and general frankness forces me to deeply examine my thoughts and actions, often leading to overwhelming emotions like crying and anger. And every so often, after a particularly vulnerable session, I’m tempted to run away. But I choose to go back every time because she’s created a safe and compassionate space for me to grapple with my problems. She’s created a warm and homey environment, that nurtures vulnerability. If you put in the work, Bryony will teach you the necessary skills to identify and process your own problems, offering you a supportive smile along the way.

I’ve been seeing Bryony for over 5 years now. I had gone to a few therapists before and was beginning to think therapy wasn’t really my “thing” as I didn’t really connect with any of the therapists I had seen at the time. I came across Bryony’s website, read that she specialised in CBT and thought I’d give it one last shot. I am so glad I did! Finding the “right” therapist really is so important - Bryony and I clicked early on. She made me feel listened to, and really helped me validate my experience. Bryony has a very calming and kind presence, which makes her even easier to talk to. She is always very honest and supportive, but also gives you space to contemplate. I am so grateful that I’ve been able to continue on my personal journey with Bryony. I truly believe that therapy is the best gift you can ever give yourself – committing to therapy is promising yourself that you will give yourself the time and space that you need, and for me it has been the ultimate form of self-care.
