The counselling service provided has been simply unexpected at The Awareness Centre, as previously I was losing hope the idea of counselling. This is as I had tried counselling at various other establishments and there was no long lasting effects. My counsellor?I am lost for words as she is empathetic, compassionate, dedicated and regularly goes one step and beyond to ensure I get the best service. Money well spent.
My sessions with Ann have become an invaluable tool in helping me understand myself and how I feel about the events that are taking place within and around my life. I look forward to unpacking the thoughts, feelings and events of a given week in her session, knowing that I will leave with a clearer contextualisation for them and their interconnectedness. Ann creates a space where you feel comfortable to take the time to articulate what you’re going through, giving room for you to reach answers for yourself but also she knows when to prod and unpack things more deeply. I also appreciate how well she remembers the events and relationships in my life, rarely do I have to repeat things we’ve covered which helps maintain my train of thought and allows the most to be gained from each session. Importantly, I feel safe in her room to share that which is most private in my life. In my time working with her I have learnt more about myself, my motivations and the root of certain patterns of behaviour.
With a no-nonsense approach, Nick helped me uproot the foundations of a life that was not going the way I wanted it to, and through care, patience and empathy, lay new ones that will help bring about a future I never thought was possible.
I know that there is still work to be done, but thanks to the time I spent with Nick I am now confident in my ability to do the right thing and have stopped waiting for life to just “happen”.
If you are in need of non-judgemental and honest help, Nick is the right man for the job. Thank you.
I have found my counselling at The Awareness Centre to be exceptionally helpful. It is also affordable which is very much appreciated
Berenice has helped me overcome many behaviors and attitudes that I had believed could not be changed. Her communication was superb – at every stage I knew what to expect and felt that I was making the decisions but she was presenting me with relevant information and useful tools.
She was unfailingly empathic, calm, and encouraging. Thanks to her guidance, I feel more confidence in my ability to cope with challenges going forward.
I’ve only had one session with Natasha but she made me feel comfortable about opening up and explained very clearly the procedures which put my mind at ease of the professionality of the practice. I would recommend this centre to anyone looking for some extra support during difficult times.
