"I've had over 20 years of counselling type therapies which have all played their part and been very useful. But this Forgiveness Therapy has been like attending "spirit whispering" sessions. The most important part of my life has and is my spiritual development and this therapy has helped me to forgive others, and meet with people who have helped me to contact that most treasured part of myself. Until attending this therapy I felt completely alone in my experiences often thinking I was going mad. It has been an enormous relief and very exciting to meet other people who have trodden the path I have walked on and continuously fallen off. I look forward to walking on this path more and possibly helping others to do so once my own journey in this regard stabilises."

"This course gives you an outline of how to forgive yourself and others. I found it very helpful and the therapists were amazing. There was such understanding and compassion. Each stage was clearly explained. The love that came from the therapists was so genuine. I would go in each week looking forward to it. I always came out so much better than when I came in. The tools that were used had so much love and though. I would recommend anyone to go on this course for forgiveness."

"Much of this type of work can be felt subtlety and even without much realisation that anything was actually happening. The crux point of this therapy was the realisation that I was able to meet up with my ex-wife who I had not seen for 9 years and was very afraid to do so. All of a sudden I realised this was a possibility and the fear surrounding this person had diminished and a level of confidence had taken the place of that fear."

"I recently completed a course of Forgiveness Therapy with Marketplace Ministries, Totnes. I had two aims in mind, the first to try and rid myself of the burden of anger that I was carrying since I was a child (I am now 48 years old) and a secondary aim to check out the programme to see if it would be suitable for me to refer my clients to (I work with vulnerable families in the area). I am delighted to report that both aims were achieved!
I found the programme very easy to engage with and the approach of its practitioners flexible and caring. I have a fear of recording difficult feelings and the programme comes with a workbook. My inability to put pen to paper was met with good humour and the offer of an amended approach to meet my needs.
I was always met with a warm welcome at the centre and an offer of a cuppa, which is always a positive start to any encounter. I appreciated the fact that I was scored at the beginning and end of the programme, so that there was tangible evidence that my mindset had shifted. This gave me a real boost.
I am so delighted with the results - I am in such a better place than I was six months ago - that I have already begun to refer my clients. I feel safe in the knowledge that they will be cared for and supported in their own journey towards the relief that forgiveness gives."

"These sessions have been invaluable in helping me understand the process of Forgiveness and how I can move forward with much more positivity. The skill and kindness of the facilitator made me deal with what came up with greater courage and self care than I thought possible. I am so very grateful."

"This series of weekly sessions has been enormously helpful to me over a time of unwelcome responsibility and emotional pressure. From a starting point of despair and hopelessness, the patient, encouraging and sensitive listening and guided visualisation work of the therapists has enabled me to regain optimism and belief in the fundamental goodness of life. Thank you. The attitudes and approach of the therapists have been respectful and professional throughout the sessions."

"I really appreciated the support I received in Forgiveness Therapy. A weight was lifted from my shoulders I had been carrying for a long time. I found the therapy facilitated a dynamic enlivening quality for me. I valued the profound trust, generosity and unstinting belief in me and my ability to be healed. I was particularly impressed by the quality and the therapists as people and it was clear to me that they walk their talk. I wish them and their service continued success as `I feel the work they are doing is a wonderful contribution to our community."

"Forgiveness Therapy gave me the gift of part of my healing journey. For 15 years I suffered in an emotionally abusive marriage and my children suffered too. This culminated in my ex husband leaving me for my friend. I had suffered for years in him berating me, digging away at my self esteem, called me fat/ugly, refusing to be intimate and generally making me incredibly sad and holding me back as a parent/mother and business woman. I sought help in many places. Nothing was able to make it better.
Forgiveness Therapy supported me in finding the skills and process to process my anger/fear/pain and learn to forgive my ex husband. The process gave me the space, time and ability to be guided through Forgiveness Therapy with the team, I was given consistency in the practitioners and appointment times and the support, time and space to learn to forgive and the guidance to do this.
Having received 'other' counselling, and done group therapy, Forgiveness Therapy had the edge and has given me the gift of being able to forgive the man who hurt me most. I was able to feel a difference in my physical and emotional well being as a result of the process."
