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.
I have been working with Tom for the last 6 months. From the outset he was warm kind and compassionate, listening intently to me describe my emotions, feelings and behaviours. This created a safe space where I feel completely accepted and respected, enabling me to be honest and open in I way I never have been before. Over the this time, our way of working together has developed and I have gained greater clarity and confidence from it. I feel more empowered to say how I feel and ask for what I want to those I love and who love me. Tom is a fantastic therapist and incredible person. Thank you!
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.
I’m so grateful to have found Laura. She has such a warm, human approach that makes it easy to open up and work through challenges. Feeling heard and supported is really important to me, and she creates a space where I feel completely safe and understood. Her guidance has already made such a difference in my life, and I’m excited to continue this journey with her. I truly appreciate her care and expertise and would recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and effective therapist.
Holly was very warm right from the start and I felt I could be completely honest with the thoughts and feelings I had through a very challenging period of changes in my family life. Our weekly sessions gave me an opportunity to take stock of what was happening, acknowledge the pace of change and how I was responding. In fact, I returned to Holly a while later when circumstances became more challenging again as I knew how beneficial it was to have that regular time and space to reflect and clarify my thoughts.
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.
