Barry has really helped me take stock of my life and to solve important issues. I would highly recommend him as he takes time to listen as well as gives helpful advice. After 12 sessions, I now put his advice into practise every day and I am feeling a much happier person.

I find sessions with Barry extremely helpful. He has a relaxed personality and is very easy to talk to. His knowledge of anxiety is wide-ranging - certainly better than previous psychologists I have spoken to. The advice he has given me has always been useful and easy to put into practice. In a nutshell I'd recommend him to anyone.

I am a couple of sessions into my time working with Barry and I am really looking forward to future sessions. Barry is a really calming influence who is guiding me through my issues with support, understanding and a deep knowledge of human behaviour. If you are thinking of seeking help /support I highly recommend Barry This is an update after my sessions with Barry. I can't thank him enough for his help. I am leaving therapy with Barry a more rounded individual with a much better understand of myself and what it is to be happy within myself. Barry is a great listener and has a great take on life through a lifetime of experience. He really has helped me and ultimately my family.

Barry has been an inspiration. I had visited a few therapists before starting with Barry, it was refreshing to find a therapist who actually listened and empathised and not just following text-book responses. I found his feedback and advice both illuminating and encouraging. He has literally saved my life and has totally changed the way I think about myself and approach and deal with challenging situations. Barry's calm demeanour and open friendliness has made my sessions feel as though I have been in company of an insightful good friend. Thank you.

Talking to Barry over the last few months has been crucial to my recovery from anxiety and I can't thank him enough. I've always considered that therapy wouldn't make a difference to me and that I could deal with the pressures of life by myself, but I honestly wouldn't be on the road to recovery without having attended these sessions. I have learnt so much about myself as well as anxiety, emotions and how to move forwards day by day. The difference between how I felt (and looked!) from the first to final session is phenomenal and I am now able to see a bright future ahead of me. Barry genuinely cares about people and obviously loves what he does; he is a wonderful therapist and I would recommend anybody unsure to give it a go - you won't be disappointed!

I received counciling from Barry Curruthers when I felt I was at my lowest point, he was Amazing with me and totally got how I was feeling. He gave me little things to try at home if life was getting to much which helped me so much. If I needed to see him he would always manage to give me an appointment. I would 100% recommend Barry if you are feeling you need to talk. Thank you Barry from the bottom of my heart Life is good for me now and I'm loving life, you helped me achieve that xx

Barry has excellent insight which I value, is a great listener and has been a great guide, aiding me in navigating through the issues I face.

I went to see Barry due to ongoing and debilitating issues linked to post Covid syndrome which had and continue to have a huge impact on my life and doing daily things I used to take for granted. Barry made me feel at ease and helped me to validate and understand my feelings and emotions and gave me superb advice on actions and thoughts going forward. By the time I went to see Barry, I had seen several medical experts about the effects of Covid and it was Barry who helped me to make sense of things and who facilitated me to gain a better overview of everything happening in my life and to understand my feelings and frustrations.

The sessions helped me to gain clarity and refreshed my vigour and determination to move forward and to strive to improve in a realistic timeframe whilst accepting the new norms in my life. Barry helped to reduce my anxiety and just made things make sense! I’m so glad I went to talk to him and thankful for the sessions as I feel more in control of the actions I need to take in the future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Barry, you’re an absolute star.

I cannot speak highly enough of Barry. For 30 years I have continued around a vicious circle of highs and lows with my mental health. I just wished I had seen him sooner. The best description I can give of where I am, is akin to being a passenger in a car. The car often went on long journeys, no rest breaks, driven too hard, too fast and with little thought for its long term condition. Quite often this car either ran out of fuel, broke down or crashed. However, this was never my fault, it was the driver (my condition) that caused it and as the passenger I had little control. For the last 30 years, I have received help to fix the car and have eventually been thrown back in the passenger seat and sent on my way, only for the same things to eventually repeat over and over again. By session two, Barry had given me control. It was as if he had handed me the keys to the car and was teaching me how to drive again. That way I had total control of the car and more importantly - NO ONE ELSE TO BLAME, not my condition, not other people, I was responsible. He worked me out in session one and spent the next five sessions teaching ME to drive more responsibly and giving ME the tools to fix and repair the car before any big breakdown or crash. Barry has done more for me in 6 sessions than anyone ever before, I even went onto present 5 school assemblies on Anxiety to our students as his impact on me was so profound. I have undone some of the silly and stupid 'OCD like' habits I had and feel much happier as a person, as a partner, as a Dad and as a teacher and am far more productive as a result. I have waited a while before writing this review, for no other reason as to assess if the change in my mindset would fade. Two months isn't long, but I can still hear Barry's words of wisdom ringing in my ears, I can still hear the analogies we talked about (I think I invented one or two new ones for him). Barry has helped me get my life back together and could not recommend him enough - 5 stars is not enough.
