The Awareness Centre

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.

Working with Sunah Ahktar has been an incredible, transformative experience. From the very first session, I felt heard, supported, and understood in a way that I had never experienced before. She created a safe, non-judgmental space where I could open up about my challenges, and her empathetic and insightful approach helped me navigate through them with greater clarity and confidence.

Not only did Sunah Ahktar provide me with practical tools and strategies to manage my mental health, but she also empowered me to develop a deeper understanding of myself. The progress I’ve made during our sessions has been life-changing.

I am deeply grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and dedication to my well-being, and I highly recommend Sunah Ahktar to anyone seeking compassionate and effective therapy.

Nick was a great therapist that really challenged my perspective of self. He provided a safe environment for me to explore traumatic experiences and was always supportive, gentle and kind. He was always very approachable and always said the correct thing.

Matt was a patient listener as my therapist encouraging me to process the layers of my personal issues and core beliefs whilst intuitively weaving in thought provoking questions that empowered me to take better control of my life and distorted thinking.

Kind and compassionate I recommend him as a therapist.

My experience with Shirley at The Awareness Centre was a very positive one. Shirley was an amazing therapist, she helped me confront lots of things within myself at a slow and manageable pace. Every therapy session felt as though it was completely in my control as Shirley seemed to follow a client lead approach. I was very impressed with the therapy I received and it has definitely helped me an awful lot. I would recommend Shirley as a therapist to everyone.

Valeria is a wonderful counsellor. I cannot speak highly enough about her. She’s really been helping me deal with my issues of my problems.
