We were very please with the service provided by The Awareness Centre. From the very first contact made, throughout our 6 months of sessions we learnt a great deal about each other and ourselves, we have enhanced our relationship and our lives. Many thanks indeed!
Philippa is amazing – it’s hard to put into words how much she has changed my life and how highly I think of her and her work. She provides a safe space for her clients with no judgement and has a unique way of helping you get to the answer and working out the best way forward. I wish I had found her years ago.
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.
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.
Nick created an environment which made me feel extremely comfortable to share things I’d previously found extremely difficult to talk about. He helped me figure out what may be causing the way I’m feeling and approached the problem in a way which resonated for me (logical and curious). Thank you Nick, you helped me enormously.
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.
