The Awareness Centre

We began Couples therapy with Hyacinthos back in September 2023. At the time we were separated. But with the help and intervention of Hyacinthos, we soon realised how deep our love was and how we could actually work through our issues and within a few weeks, we decided to rekindle our relationship. Our journey and self discovery has been incredible and in the short space of time our relationship has grown from strength to strength and we are now happier, than we have ever been as a couple and individually. This is thanks to Hyacinthos and his non judgemental style of therapy and great understanding of relationships and personal development. We both highly recommend Hyacinthos.

Talking therapy has changed my life, helping me much more than I thought it could. I would encourage anyone who is considering counselling to go for it.

Magda supported my 4yo son process his grief. She took the time to get to know me and the situation before the sessions began and made my son feel very comfortable during his time with her. She is very knowledgeable about working with children and made him feel at ease, enabling him to express himself through play.

I was referred to The Awareness Centre via the NHS and worked with Tom during my 12 weeks. At first I was initially a bit hesitant on what therapy would entail, but straight away Tom made me feel comfortable and we developed a strong trust during our time. Tom leads his sessions with grace and a strong emotional intention by asking the right questions and getting you to explore connections between your past and present actions. Since our sessions I can already see a difference in building self confidence and self esteem. I encourage anyone who is curious about counselling and wants to prioritise their mental health to work with Tom!

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.

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.
