Nick is a kind, thoughtful, sympathetic, empathetic, humane, experienced and engaged therapist. After we’d talked for some months, he had a crucial insight into my issues which no one had had, and then suggested a course of action which changed my life.I’m forever indebted to Nick for his help and support, and to The Awareness Centre for bringing us together and giving us a perfect place to talk.
I thought Natalia was an excellent therapist, I have had therapy in the past and have not found it as helpful before. With Natalia I felt like she created a very safe space, she made me feel relaxed and comfortable enough to open up and express myself. I feel like she made the effort to make a connection with me as a client. Thank you for your help.
Dilnia was a great person to talk with. She was comforting and made me feel as ease to be able to speak with her without any judgement. I’ve seen a lot of growth in myself since seeing Dilnia and am really grateful for the time with her to help work through different situations.
Feeling anxious after a breakup and massive dissatisfaction with my job, uncertain as to how I could build a future, I turned to Stuart for guidance. Our weekly sessions helped me become clearer about my thoughts and feelings. Stuart is supportive, genuine, and knowledgeable, and quickly put me at ease. The sessions provided a safe, non-judgemental environment, where I felt comfortable talking about difficult problems. It was an often challenging, but ultimately extremely rewarding experience, which I’d absolutely recommend to others considering support.
We met with Nick for a few sessions during a very testing time in our 15-year marriage. Nick provided a safe space for us to talk and he enabled each of our voices to be heard. Nick was calm, patient and thoughtful, allowing us time to process what was going on which resulted in us finding a way forward together.
I was looking for a therapist to help me following a trauma. I wasn’t able to eat or sleep and had worry and anxiety. I had lost a significant amount of weight and was continuing to do so, that had begun worrying me further. After several months I wasn’t feeling any better. When I contacted Nick I knew instantly during a free introductory phone call that Nick was someone I could talk to. He made me feel comfortable and safe. Although we could not schedule appointments immediately due to my commitments and his availability I eventually opted to conduct our sessions via what’s app and that worked. I finally had the help I needed. I wish I had opted for that sooner. Nick really listened and with patience. He was skilfully alert to what might help me. He gave me small amounts of food for thought that I could digest and contemplate. He was also solution focused where I couldn’t be, and that enabled me to have a breakthrough and take action that set me free me from my merry-go-round . After that I immediately started to regain my weight and I’m back to normal – perhaps actually in better physical shape. He identified what was holding me back and gave me that incentive to make that shift. Things are so much better for me now. I’ll be forever grateful. I’ve had other counselling therapy and there’s just no comparison. I can’t recommend Nick highly enough.
