The Awareness Centre

Working with Sunah Ahktar has been an incredible, transformative experience. From the very first session, I felt heard, supported, and understood in a way that I had never experienced before. She created a safe, non-judgmental space where I could open up about my challenges, and her empathetic and insightful approach helped me navigate through them with greater clarity and confidence.

Not only did Sunah Ahktar provide me with practical tools and strategies to manage my mental health, but she also empowered me to develop a deeper understanding of myself. The progress I’ve made during our sessions has been life-changing.

I am deeply grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and dedication to my well-being, and I highly recommend Sunah Ahktar to anyone seeking compassionate and effective therapy.

I have been seeing Lesley for over 12 years, for a few sessions when stress from life in general, work, or world events becomes overwhelming. She always makes space for me, which I truly appreciate.

Each session feels like a reset. I leave feeling grounded, calmer, and clearer, and even just having a session booked in brings a huge sense of relief. Her support over the years has been invaluable, and I’m very grateful for her care and professionalism.

I would highly recommend Lesley.

Nick made us feel relaxed and at ease, he listened without judging and guided us to help us identify our issues and resolve them for ourselves. Nick was very patient and professional at all times. Thankyou Nick, you have really helped us to get back on track.

When my partner and I hit a bumpy patch due to the pressures of life, we found ourselves struggling to communicate and truly listen to one another. I realised we needed a helping hand, but not just anyone. We wanted someone who genuinely cared, rather than simply following a set process. After reading many therapist biographies, Joy’s really stood out to me, so we took a leap of faith and booked an appointment.

From the very first session, Joy was warm, engaging, and deeply attuned to both of our personalities. She created a safe space where we each felt heard, giving us the time to express our feelings while gently helping us understand each other’s perspectives. The thoughtful “homework” she gave us also helped us recognise and change some ingrained habits.

We genuinely enjoyed the process, and now that our sessions have ended, we both find ourselves missing Joy. We were so impressed that we recommended her to my partner’s sister, who also found her session hugely beneficial. We would wholeheartedly recommend Joy to anyone seeking relationship support.

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!

Hyacinthos has been amazing with us. Our sessions with him have helped us save our relationship. He’s opened our eyes to different perspectives and has assisted us with reconnecting. I now recommend therapy to all of my friends and family
