Philippa is amazing – it’s hard to put into words how much she has changed my life and how highly I think of her and her work. She provides a safe space for her clients with no judgement and has a unique way of helping you get to the answer and working out the best way forward. I wish I had found her years ago.
I felt very lost and hopeless when I started seeing Lesley. Our weekly sessions helped me to understand and accept my past. I am now a new me, who deals better with anxiety and enjoys life. I highly recommend Lesley to anyone seeking therapy.
I started therapy to help with anxiety, worrying, and catastophising as it could dominate my thoughts, which was both exhausting and could prevent me doing things.
It was helpful to have a safe space to say how I was feeling and how my brain would think about things to someone and have that support of someone who would listen without judgement. Being able to discuss things in therapy has helped me look at issues more rationally and help me think of other possible outcomes to situations I worry about and to take action.
Dealing with anxiety hasn’t been a smooth journey and I have some way to go, but I feel I have become better at managing negative thinking and now have more techniques to fall back on when things are hard.
Sinthia is a professional and phenomenal therapist and really listens and makes sense of my sessions by adding and hi-lighting things I may have not thought of… she has honestly helped me through a very rough patch of my life and without her, it would have been harder as I was in a very low place. She has given and shown me my inner courage and is still helping me through it.
Ann supported me for over a year through a journey of grief after losing my father to cancer. I was feeling low and confused and she helped guide me through these feelings and learn to acknowledge and accept them in order to process them. Not only did she help open my eyes to how normal my feelings were but helped me navigate difficult relationships that I have with other family members. Talking about these feelings and opening up about some difficult memories from the past I have been able to improve my approach to these relationships. I can’t thank Ann enough for her patience and feel grateful for her guidance.
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.
