The Awareness Centre

Working with Shirley was truly transformational. From the very first session, she was warm, kind and welcoming. I always felt supported and genuinely cared for throughout my journey, and it made such a difference knowing I was in safe, compassionate hands. Her sincerity and empathy helped foster a strong therapeutic relationship where I felt comfortable enough to open up and work through difficult issues from my childhood. I genuinely looked forward to our sessions, and I’m so grateful for the progress I made with her support. I can’t thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone considering EMDR!

I have found my counselling at The Awareness Centre to be exceptionally helpful. It is also affordable which is very much appreciated

I had a very positive experience. Nick was an excellent counsellor showing a perfect balance between active listening and useful comments.

The Awareness Centre offered a comfortable and welcoming environment that complemented Nick’s counselling.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Sinthia. From our very first session, I felt seen and understood. I genuinely used to look forward to sessions every week, even though I knew that we would be discussing difficult topics. This was because she created a safe space where I could explore my thoughts and feelings openly and without feeling judged. Through her guidance and kindness, I’ve gained valuable insights to others, developed healthier coping mechanisms, and learned to navigate certain challenges with greater resilience and courage. Thank you Sinthia 🙂

I worked with Anna over the course of 8 counselling sessions and I have found these sessions extremely helpful. Anna set some clear objectives and an initial timeline for our work together. She was professional but also friendly and approachable so I found myself at ease very quickly and was able to share more and more over our sessions together.

I felt that Anna genuinely cared about my story and while she was a wonderful listening ear, she also gave me ideas and avenues to explore in order to move forward, by interpreting how my past experiences may have shaped the person I am now and the challenges I sometimes struggle with. Her warmth and her absolute belief that anyone can change and have a healthier relationship with themselves was a great comfort to me.

After 8 sessions, I find myself with some great tools to move forward and achieve the change I am seeking. Anna has taught me that the most important thing of all is being kind and patient to myself and I am very glad I worked with her. I would be completely happy to recommend Anna to anyone who is looking for a good counsellor.

This has been my first experience of therapy and Claire has really helped me in my journey to better process the personal circumstances I have been going through. This has been through providing a safe space where I feel comfortable to discuss my emotions, as well as suggesting practices which help to manage these. I have found Claire to be extremely professional and good at what she does, and I would highly recommend Claire to anyone else looking to undertake therapy.

I have previously worked with a few different counsellors at various stages in my life and Emma is the counsellor that I have worked with most consistently. I feel comfortable and supported and we have discussed realistic options for what the sessions will achieve. Emma is compassionate and insightful. Moreover, I appreciate the different approaches she incorporates into our sessions, whether it be Mindfulness-based techniques or ACT. My experience in the sessions with Emma has been evolving based on the use of different approaches and she helps me feel confident in challenging my perspectives and opening out how I think about some things in my life.

I couldn’t recommend Elizabeth or The Awareness Centre more. I rang in the summer of 2024 looking for help, and the reception team were quick to help me find Elizabeth based on availability/what I was looking for. Elizabeth is fantastic, and has created a judgement free, safe zone for the past 6 months of sessions. She’s taught me to speak kindly to myself and so much more, and her help has been life changing. I feel really equipped to take on my anxiety and things that life may throw my way because of the toolkit Elizabeth has helped me create – I can’t thank her enough.

Berenice is a wonderful therapist who is genuine in her compassion, and a total professional who can help you move through feelings with a depth of knowledge on her technical practice whilst handling emotions carefully.

Amandeep has been absolutely incredible. I had never experienced private client therapy before, only a small dose of NHS CBT therapy. I was recommended The Awareness Centre by my GP. After 10 sessions so far I feel I’ve made exponential progress in tacking the issues I came to the centre with. Amandeep makes you feel listened to, cared for and balances perfectly letting you as the client speak and express your emotions while also making targeted interventions and observations to help the guide the session. I couldn’t be more happier with my experience.

I have never had this kind of experience but find this really helpful and helps me alot and in different way. Im grateful to come to therapy and it changed my life.

With a no-nonsense approach, Nick helped me uproot the foundations of a life that was not going the way I wanted it to, and through care, patience and empathy, lay new ones that will help bring about a future I never thought was possible.

I know that there is still work to be done, but thanks to the time I spent with Nick I am now confident in my ability to do the right thing and have stopped waiting for life to just “happen”.

If you are in need of non-judgemental and honest help, Nick is the right man for the job. Thank you.
