The Awareness Centre

I couldn’t recommend Elizabeth or The Awareness Centre more. I rang in the summer of 2024 looking for help, and the reception team were quick to help me find Elizabeth based on availability/what I was looking for. Elizabeth is fantastic, and has created a judgement free, safe zone for the past 6 months of sessions. She’s taught me to speak kindly to myself and so much more, and her help has been life changing. I feel really equipped to take on my anxiety and things that life may throw my way because of the toolkit Elizabeth has helped me create – I can’t thank her enough.

Digging deep, uncovering and releasing can be painful, but the acceptance and growth that comes with it has meant I can live feeling more content and more peace. I am so very appreciative of Vas guiding me through, giving me different lenses to look through and the work we have done together.

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.

I have found my counselling at The Awareness Centre to be exceptionally helpful. It is also affordable which is very much appreciated

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.

I was going through a troubling time after the epidemic and the lockdowns, which I had found very hard. I started seeing Karlene hoping to deal with the troubles that were at the “surface” level of my day to day thinking.

Karlene was calm, kind, non-judgemental but most of all an extremely skilled therapist. It turns out that the troubles that were at the “top level” of my brain were that – only the surface. I hadn’t been able to see this for myself, but Karlene very carefully and gently helped me to unpick this. There were layers to my issues, going back decades, which we began to peel back. I came to an understanding of certain events that had taken place in the past that were colouring my experience of the present.

Having this understanding is hugely helpful – I now have the ability to watch my own thought processes and understand when they are going down certain avenues coloured by past experiences, and to redirect where necessary.

I cannot recommend Karlene enough. Sometimes it is simply not possible to see beyond our own day to day thinking patterns, to begin to understand why we experience life or certain situations the way we do, without the help of a skilled “other”. For me, Karlene was exactly what I needed at that point in time, and I cannot thank her enough.
