Sunah is very supportive, and full of suggestions to improve day to day quality of life. I would recommend her to anyone.

My sessions with Anna were so helpful. She supported me through an extremely tough time and helped me process everything that was going on. Anna was very warm and supportive so I found it easy to trust and open up to her. I am very grateful for my sessions with Anna and would highly recommend her.

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’m currently new in counselling and so far I’m enjoying it. My therapist made me feel human and that having emotions are ok. He listen to my concerns and address it. He’s really a big help especially on the type of work I do. Counselling made me realise a lot of things and recognise that I do need help. Thanks Pavol!

This therapy for me has been instrumental in my emotional healing process, specifically having a therapist like Vas who is empathetic but also can challenge me has helped me grow in many areas of my life and become aware of my behaviours which no longer serve their purpose, whilst also learning to accept and manage the parts of me that may never change.

I have appreciated Laura’s approach where my thoughts and feelings have been listened to and acknowledged without any judgment. I feel this has enabled me to explore my emotions and understand more what has contributed to make me today and how I think and feel. I have talked about and what I need for my future and felt supported to move forward and make some changes to my life without feeling selfish. This has given me reassurance and confidence to push on and feel that it is okay to do things for myself to feel happy and content.
I have felt safe to open myself up to explore experiences in my childhood and the feelings like sadness and worry that are stirring in me, now in my 50’s!

Thank you Laura for the space to explore in a kind and supportive way.
