The Awareness Centre

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.

I had never experienced a talking therapy before so was a new experience for me. I had imagined it would be directional with the therapist telling me what to do to get better. Over the weeks. I came to realise the better approach is to find the strength in yourself.

I brought my 7 year old son for a session with Esmie and it immediately unlocked all his worries. The way she handled him (and me) with care, humour but also practicality meant we went away from the session with both him and me feeling that we’d had a major breakthrough. He asked if he could go back again because he liked her so much!

I’ve been coming to The Awareness Centre for the last year and a half and it has totally changed my life for the better. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating and supportive and the therapy was wonderful.

Having not considered myself a ‘therapy person’ I found it difficult to bring myself to even call up about booking an appointment. I chose a therapist out of a few names provided and honestly everything changed for me once I started my sessions. Lesley was my saving grace in what was probably the toughest year I’ve experience so far in my life; I was apprehensive to share, to admit I didn’t have everything under control or figured out but literally from 15 minutes into my first session all of those feelings melted away and I was able to work through these obstacles in a safe space with the most incredible guide I could have asked for. To describe Lesley’s sessions as life-changing is no exaggeration. I am forever grateful for having found her.

This was my first experience of therapy and Sara-Jane was absolutely fantastic. She’s helped me develop a clearer understanding of my emotions which has equipped me to be able to experience and manage them more effectively. With Sara-Jane’s support I’m confident that I’ve now developed the tools to take on any future challenges without letting them take over me. I feel 10 times better than I did at the beginning of my therapy.
