Really easy to book our first session, and I liked that we had the option to choose a therapist. We have worked with Claire for a good few months now and it’s made a real difference to our relationship. We’ve learnt things about ourselves and been able to reflect on how that impacts on our relationship, how we communicate and how we show up in those conversations.

It’s been hard work, but we’ve come away with the tools we need to take things forward and keep improving. Claire has been incredibly patient, especially when there was resistance from one or both of us - which there definitely was at times! The online set up worked really well for us and enabled us to be consistent. Really recommend.

Janine has been an exceptional therapist, she helped me and my girlfriend a lot during a very bad period, due to trust issues.
In few sessions she has been able to go deep our situation and find the roots of our problems, helping us to figure it out.

Thank you again!

I want to express my sincere appreciation for the support and guidance Trish provided throughout our sessions. Her calm, balanced, and compassionate approach created a space where both of us felt genuinely heard and understood. She has a remarkable ability to listen without judgement, ask thoughtful questions, and gently guide us toward clarity. Fantastic and professional service which we wholeheartedly would recommend

Janine very quickly identified past experiences that were having an impact on our current difficulties. Skilfully and easily she introduced the way these operated drawing from theoretical ideas which were pertinent and very helpful. Her relaxed and accepting manner made it easy for both of us to feel understood and appreciated. This has been really helpful for us at this late stage of our lives. Thank you!

Trish really helped us as a couple. She was warm and non judgemental from the very first session and throughout. She has helped us both individually and as a couple with identifying triggers and exploring more effective ways of communication. Would reccomend Trish's support to anyone in need of relationship support.

I started with couples counselling with Trish Mayne and then we went onto individual counselling and I had multiple sessions over several months. I really enjoyed my sessions, Trish gave me a safe space to discuss how i was feeling and I felt like I was heard and understood. I have finished my sessions feeling a lot more in control of my thoughts and feelings and feel as though I understand myself better.

Thank you Trish for all your help and methods on how to deal with certain aspects in my mind and thought process. Thank you for also helping me work through what was going on in my life and making me feel comfortable to be raw and open with my emotions and inner thoughts.

Trish was very attentive and great at recommending solutions and controlling the atmosphere. She is Definitely very experienced and caring to understand both sides and help navigate situations. She created a safe place and helped us understand our emotions. I am very greatful

Denese has been an amazing help to us when navigating some issues we were facing in the relationship. Helped us both feel heard and gave us tools we continue use. So grateful!

Claire really helped us and we will be forever grateful

We chose Denese MacDonald to help us get our marriage mojo back. We had become romantically disengaged and wanted to reconnect again.

Our first session with Denese turned the dial and immediately engaged and encouraged us. She is brilliantly insightful, sessions are structured, progressive and highly effective. What felt overwhelmingly complex to us has been carefully explored and explained with Denese – numerous ‘Eureka!’ moments which removed hurtful perceptions and replaced them with new understanding and clarity. She makes it all make sense.

We’re still a “work in progress” but already we’ve reached a whole new level of connectedness. We’re in a good place again and looking ahead happily now.

If you need seriously effective relationship help Denese MacDonald is truly outstanding.

I can not recommend this company and the therapist I worked with highly enough. Working with Maria has changed my life.

Working with Denese Macdonald at Online Couples Counselling has been such a positive and meaningful experience. From the very first session, she made me feel comfortable, listened to, and genuinely understood. Her warmth, kindness, and compassionate approach created a safe space where I felt able to open up without fear of judgment. She offers thoughtful guidance and practical support, and I always left our sessions feeling lighter, more hopeful, and better equipped to handle challenges. I’m truly grateful for her support and would highly recommend Denese to anyone looking for a caring and understanding counsellor.

We've had recent sessions with Madeleine Kingsley. It's made an enormous difference. She compassionate yet forthright to keep things on track. Great advice (homework) to work on after each session. Thoroughly recommend.

I wouldn’t go as far as using the cliché “Janine saved our marriage,” as that feels a little over the top. What she did provide, however, was a calm and supportive space where we could talk openly and honestly, with guidance that helped us both feel heard, understood, and validated.

We chose Janine because, unlike many other counsellors, she specialises specifically in couples counselling. Her experience and training were evident from the start through the insight, knowledge, and techniques she brought to each session.

In total, we had eight sessions over the course of less than six months, and that has given us the tools we needed to communicate more effectively and truly understand one another. Before counselling, we were both so caught up in our own frustrations that we struggled to really listen. Now, we are able to hear each other and communicate in a much more meaningful way.

The sessions are not inexpensive, but they are absolutely worth the investment. Another thing we really appreciated was that there was never any pressure to book more sessions. Janine never chased us or pushed us into continuing. It was entirely our choice when, or if, we wanted to book again.

We would highly recommend Janine to any couple who is experiencing communication difficulties and wants support in working through them.

We chose Claire after reading the wonderful reviews from other couples. Claire was the right fit for us, warm and caring and so easy to open up to. She guided us through the sessions, ensuring we felt safe and relaxed throughout. I had been nervous that my husband would find it difficult, but because of Claire’s lovely manner, it was a positive experience. She has helped us enormously and we are now communicating much better as a couple. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling. Thank you Claire!

I went to Claire for help with the anxiety I’ve struggled with my whole life. She made me feel at ease and created a space where I felt comfortable talking openly without feeling judged. She helped me understand the root of my anxiety and gave me practical tools and techniques that I can use in everyday life and in the future.

I’ve noticed a real improvement in how I manage situations that would have previously overwhelmed me. Claire is patient, understanding and very easy to talk to, and I always felt listened to and supported.

I would highly recommend her x

Couples therapy gave us a caring space to slow down, listen, and reconnect. With support from Elaine, our conversations softened, and we started finding our way back to each other with more patience and kindness. The changes were small but meaningful, and they’ve brought us closer than we’ve felt in a long time. It’s a step I’m truly grateful we took together. The process is reliable and seamless I would not hesitate to recommend this platform and especially Elaine to others. Its been so beneficial

Claire has done wonders for not only our relationship but our own personal mindsets and day to day living. I cannot recommend her enough.

Working with Denese MacDonald over the past year has been deeply impactful. Her ability to listen carefully and reflect back complex emotions with clarity made me feel genuinely understood from the start. She brings real compassion, warmth, and trust into every session, alongside a wealth of knowledge and experience that consistently shaped the work in meaningful ways.

I began therapy with Denese as part of a couple, and when it became clear that the healthiest decision was to separate, she guided me through that transition with care and steadiness. She offered practical tools, visualisations, and thoughtful advice that helped me navigate a difficult period with clarity and self-compassion.

While the healing and progress are ultimately my own, I know that without Denese’s guidance, experience, and support, this process would have taken years rather than months. I highly recommend Denese MacDonald to anyone considering therapy, whether as a couple or individually. She is an exceptional therapist and a steady, compassionate presence.

I had one to one sessions with Claire and they have helped me a lot to get back on tracks and find myself again. She taught me a lot and gave me strategies not just for now but for the future as well. Each session I had was useful. I would recommend this to everyone who struggles or unable to find the right help.
