The Awareness Centre

I attended Shirley, to treat me for PTSD, which I had for 2 years. It had gotten to crisis point. The guidance and help I received from Shirley was exceptional. Shirley introduced me to EMDR, which worked incredibly well for me. She guided me through each step and checked in with me at all times. I was amazed at how quickly I came to terms with the trauma that brought me to be treated by Shirley. I am continuing with good mental health, and am very grateful for Shirley’s expertise and professional skills. I have had therapy sporadically over a long period of time and would rate Shirley as being one of the best. I would highly recommend her therapeutic skills and knowledge.

The Awareness Centre has been hugely helpful in managing my anxiety.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Jackie, who made me feel at ease for my first session. I found her a great help and a good listener who guided me through some really tough times. Helping me to make sense of how I was feeling and a way forward which was a great help.

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

I started talking to Matthew during a very stressful period of my life and found our conversations really positive and helpful in a variety of ways – without them, I would have found things a lot more difficult. He was really easy to talk to in an honest way without any worry of judgement. Since finishing our meetings I still see the positive impact through an improvement in managing my stress and recalling advice when it comes to judging myself and emotional responses in a less harsh, and more understanding way. I would reccommend Matthew and the Awareness Centre as a whole to anyone who was seeking therapy.
