Dilnia is an incredible therapist and I couldn’t recommend working with her enough. She is highly skilled, empathetic and creates a safe, trusting, non-judgemental space which supports her clients. She is not afraid to challenge you when needed and encourages you to step out of your comfort zone. The work we have done together has truly changed my life.

Although I have been taking therapy with Berenice Mumbru only for several weeks, she has been extremely useful in terms of providing actionable solutions to my needs and even going above and beyond what I would expect from a counsellor. She is resourceful, accommodating and insightful and I would highly recommend her as a therapist.

I started therapy to help with anxiety, worrying, and catastophising as it could dominate my thoughts, which was both exhausting and could prevent me doing things.

It was helpful to have a safe space to say how I was feeling and how my brain would think about things to someone and have that support of someone who would listen without judgement. Being able to discuss things in therapy has helped me look at issues more rationally and help me think of other possible outcomes to situations I worry about and to take action.

Dealing with anxiety hasn’t been a smooth journey and I have some way to go, but I feel I have become better at managing negative thinking and now have more techniques to fall back on when things are hard.

After the sudden death of a close friend, which had followed on from the sudden death of another good friend, I began to experience anxiety attacks. They were serious enough that I attended hospital by ambulance. I came to therapy with Donna in order to cope with bereavement. However, through her probing questions, I was able to understand where I was in terms of my life and also the loss I had felt of my inner optimism and vibrancy.

From the first session, I began to feel deep relief within myself and since then I can think of my friends and family without having an attack. I also feel liberated from the closed in feeling that I had carried with me for a while and I have regained much of my confidence both personally and professionally. I think that Donna was able to understand what I needed straight away and I am grateful for the space to be able to speak freely about my emotions without feeling judged.

I have found a real safe space to work through some extremely difficult and painful things which Ella has facilitated for me. She has always been professional and although the process is extremely hard sometimes I trust that I’m in safe hands which is hugely due to how Ella has navigated our sessions. I look forward to the rest of the process.

Last year, I went through some traumatic events and was recommended EMDR therapy. Shirley’s professionalism and guidance not only helped me process these experiences but also uncovered some underlying conflicts that had been weighing on me subconsciously. I am very grateful to Shirley and wholeheartedly recommend her services.
