Testimonials

“Natalie Harman has been an excellent source of support and encouragement at the end of my emergency medicine training. I was unsuccessful at my 1st attempt of the emergency medicine fellowship written and weekly sessions with Natalie in preparation for the repeat attempt gave me the tools to face the exam in a different light and gave me much more confidence for achieving success. I really think that the regular sessions with Natalie put me in a much stronger position for over-coming my demons from the first failed attempt and meant that I was mentally prepared to tackle the 2nd attempt. Her calm and caring demeanour instantly put me at ease, and I know that no matter the number of concerns that I had she always listened intently. I will take forward the lessons that Natalie has given me in the preparation for this exam into my day to day life to improve how I cope with all of life's challenging moments. I would absolutely recommend Natalie to anyone who is seeking a caring, compassionate and attentive counsellor”
