Bernie has been really good so far, her approach is very open and calming and I have felt very comfortable in her presence.

We met with Nick for a few sessions during a very testing time in our 15-year marriage. Nick provided a safe space for us to talk and he enabled each of our voices to be heard. Nick was calm, patient and thoughtful, allowing us time to process what was going on which resulted in us finding a way forward together.
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.
I was going through a troubling time after the epidemic and the lockdowns, which I had found very hard. I started seeing Karlene hoping to deal with the troubles that were at the “surface” level of my day to day thinking.
Karlene was calm, kind, non-judgemental but most of all an extremely skilled therapist. It turns out that the troubles that were at the “top level” of my brain were that – only the surface. I hadn’t been able to see this for myself, but Karlene very carefully and gently helped me to unpick this. There were layers to my issues, going back decades, which we began to peel back. I came to an understanding of certain events that had taken place in the past that were colouring my experience of the present.
Having this understanding is hugely helpful – I now have the ability to watch my own thought processes and understand when they are going down certain avenues coloured by past experiences, and to redirect where necessary.
I cannot recommend Karlene enough. Sometimes it is simply not possible to see beyond our own day to day thinking patterns, to begin to understand why we experience life or certain situations the way we do, without the help of a skilled “other”. For me, Karlene was exactly what I needed at that point in time, and I cannot thank her enough.
I was so impressed how quickly everything was put into place, that was very, very helpful. It is my first experience of talking therapies and its been very helpful and I would look towards continuing it and using it again at times when I feel very over-whelmed. Riana has been really good listener and able to remember lots of different things and offer different strategies to manage things better on my own. Many thanks to the service.
Ella has been an amazing therapist since I first joined the awareness centre. She has made me feel very comfortable with the idea of therapy as I was hesitant at first, and has always put my needs and concerns first. She really listens to my goals and what I want out of therapy and puts it into practice in every session.
