The Awareness Centre

I started therapy regularly with David a couple of years ago when I was at rock bottom and going through a lot in my personal life which I couldn’t see a way forward. He massively helped me to understand my feelings, deal with past traumas and navigate to a place where I was able to get back to work and come off antidepressants. Luckily I have only had to have 2 ad hoc sessions since stopping therapy but overall I’m in a really good place. I have David to thank for being so understanding and using techniques / exercises to help me through this. I know if I ever needed therapy again I would go to him and couldn’t recommend him enough.

Our 6 year old son has attended sessions for almost 3 months with Anne. She had a profound impact on his emotional development. He had made significant progress on all areas we have flagged her as a concern. At the same time, our son had an amazing time with Anne and was very excited ahead of their sessions. I can only recommend Anne.

Riana was very easy to talk to and put me at ease from the initial consultation. We worked on areas of my self concept and limiting beliefs and how this was rooted back to childhood. Riana helped me understand my triggers and how to identify them, analyse and change my way of thinking. Within 6 sessions i felt so much more confident in being able to address my issues and i know this is ongoing work in progress. Riana is honest, caring and very professional in her approach and genuinely wants the best for her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone considering counselling. I know that if ever i needed to return to therapy, she would be the ideal counsellor for me.

I have appreciated Laura’s approach where my thoughts and feelings have been listened to and acknowledged without any judgment. I feel this has enabled me to explore my emotions and understand more what has contributed to make me today and how I think and feel. I have talked about and what I need for my future and felt supported to move forward and make some changes to my life without feeling selfish. This has given me reassurance and confidence to push on and feel that it is okay to do things for myself to feel happy and content.
I have felt safe to open myself up to explore experiences in my childhood and the feelings like sadness and worry that are stirring in me, now in my 50’s!

Thank you Laura for the space to explore in a kind and supportive way.

This therapy for me has been instrumental in my emotional healing process, specifically having a therapist like Vas who is empathetic but also can challenge me has helped me grow in many areas of my life and become aware of my behaviours which no longer serve their purpose, whilst also learning to accept and manage the parts of me that may never change.
