The Awareness Centre

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.

Esmie has been a godsend to us, at a most challenging time for my teenage son. She took time to listen and understand what was needed. I felt heard by her. In a relatively short time of working with him she has managed to gain his trust and allow him to open up, in a way that other therapists haven’t been able to do after a year of therapy. She has supported me through this process generously taking the time to feedback when appropriate so that I can best support my son through his difficulties. Because of her he will finally get the right help he needs which means he will be able to move forward and thrive managing the situation appropriately. Esmie has been so accommodating to fit around the difficulties we had with fitting in sessions due to shared custody arrangement. She has made easy work of navigating this process with our fraught & challenging back ground. Her professional but compassionate approach to this work has meant I feel safe in the knowledge my son is in safe hands.

Jennifer has been a therapist to my son since he was in his early teens and has provided him and our family with valuable support throughout some difficult times for him. She built a great rapport with him straight away and it was very helpful for him to have someone he could trust and discuss topics with that he would not necessarily want to raise with his parents.

My son found school challenging and Jennifer helped him to navigate various difficult situations and ultimately to do well in his A Levels and make the move to university. Now, as an older teenager, he is able to recognise when he is starting to feel low and has been fortunate enough that Jennifer has been able to find availability to hold Zoom sessions with him whilst he is some distance away.

I would highly recommend Jennifer as a supportive and empathetic therapist for teenagers and young adults and also as someone who offers helpful suggestions, positive support and encouragement to the wider family.

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.

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 been doing therapy for just under 6 months with Berenice. She helped me navigate through some traumatic events, and given me amazing tools to deal with pressure and anxiety. I value our weekly sessions so so much and I always feel like we tackle my issues practically and effectively.

Berenice is a thoughtful, insightful, supportive and empathetic therapist, who is also willing to challenge me on things when it is necessary. I would highly recommend Berenice to anyone.
