Dame Beryl Grey

“I was pleased to read that you help dancers with their mental health problems.  Your being able to encompass their families and those involved in their lives must, I think, play a big part in ongoing support and recovery.  As an ex dancer, you are in a unique position to understand the strains and stresses of dance and performance and can draw on your personal experience to help and inspire others.  I wish you continuing success with your valuable work.”

Dame Beryl Grey CH, DBE.  ex Prima Ballerina of the Royal Ballet and Artistic Director London’s Festival Ballet (now ENB)

Testimonials

The help he gave me has changed my life completely and I am in a very different place now. I would recommend anyone struggling with any problem to see Terry, he really can help.

Sally

Dancer

Terry changed my way of thinking and in the short time I have seen him I have benefited hugely. I am now a more confident person and have a new positive way of thinking.

MJ

Musical theatre performer

During the first few sessions the main issues had been recognised and I have never looked back. I found Terry to be most insightful and he was able to turn my thinking around remarkably quickly.

DK

Musician

I am now in a place where I am much more full of energy. My IBS has nearly gone, I feel happier and less worried about things!

Claire

Choreographer/rehearsal director

I am finally feeling “normal” and “light” and stopped all that pretending, which has helped me tremendously in all the relationships with people.

Natalia

Dancer

I cannot overstate how useful my sessions with Terry have been. My outlook on life is sunnier as a result, I am working more efficiently, and my family and friends  have all noticed a huge improvement.

Paul

Musician

Terry has helped me immensely. I was extremely nervous going into counselling as I had never experienced it before and didn’t know what to expect but Terry made me feel so at ease.

AL

Dancer

Terry provided a safe space for self discovery.
After just a few sessions I felt I had shifted completely from where I was.
