This has been my first experience of therapy and Claire has really helped me in my journey to better process the personal circumstances I have been going through. This has been through providing a safe space where I feel comfortable to discuss my emotions, as well as suggesting practices which help to manage these. I have found Claire to be extremely professional and good at what she does, and I would highly recommend Claire to anyone else looking to undertake therapy.
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.
Claire has been a great counsellor help for me in what has been one of my most challenging years yet. She has a very caring and warm presence, and listens intently. She has helped guide me through my emotions following heartbreak, and I am very grateful for her help in the last few months. The Awareness Centre is also always a friendly and calm environment for therapy.
I have started therapy following a difficult moment in life, where both work and personal relationships were not going well. I was struggling. Valeria has been very supportive, she is a sensitive and competent professional. I completely trust her abilities to sustain my recovery and support me to achieve my goals.
I cannot express enough gratitude for Sinthia. From our very first session, I felt seen and understood. I genuinely used to look forward to sessions every week, even though I knew that we would be discussing difficult topics. This was because she created a safe space where I could explore my thoughts and feelings openly and without feeling judged. Through her guidance and kindness, I’ve gained valuable insights to others, developed healthier coping mechanisms, and learned to navigate certain challenges with greater resilience and courage. Thank you Sinthia 🙂
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.
