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.
Had to switch therapist as she was leaving and was recommended to speak with Donna. I was a bit apprehensive as it’s hard to swap when you’ve opened up to someone. To my surprise I felt comfortable from the first session and walked out feeling very calm about the swap. Since then it’s been like that. Donna is very calm, asks questions, challenges thoughts without judgment and makes me feel heard. She also encourages small changes in behaviour, thoughts to try a think about during the week without making it feel like homework. That’s all I can ask for really. Very grateful.
Amandeep has been absolutely incredible. I had never experienced private client therapy before, only a small dose of NHS CBT therapy. I was recommended The Awareness Centre by my GP. After 10 sessions so far I feel I’ve made exponential progress in tacking the issues I came to the centre with. Amandeep makes you feel listened to, cared for and balances perfectly letting you as the client speak and express your emotions while also making targeted interventions and observations to help the guide the session. I couldn’t be more happier with my experience.
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.
I have never had this kind of experience but find this really helpful and helps me alot and in different way. Im grateful to come to therapy and it changed my life.
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.
