My experience with Shirley at The Awareness Centre was a very positive one. Shirley was an amazing therapist, she helped me confront lots of things within myself at a slow and manageable pace. Every therapy session felt as though it was completely in my control as Shirley seemed to follow a client lead approach. I was very impressed with the therapy I received and it has definitely helped me an awful lot. I would recommend Shirley as a therapist to everyone.
I was sceptical on how effective therapy would be but seeing as my life was a total mess with me having no joy, no hope and no clue on how to deal with it I thought I may as well give it a go. I’m extremely happy I did. On 28th of September, which was the day before my first session, I was as low as could have possibly got – I didn’t want to socialise, I didn’t want to go to work, I didn’t want have any contact with anyone to the point where I had hardly been outside the house for the best part of a year! With Minoo’s help however, my life has changed dramatically. She managed to get me to ask questions of myself – questions I would never have even thought about without her assistance – and I now feel empowered enough to make drastic changes. Now I’m not going to say that my life is now perfect and there is quite a way to go but for the first time in a long time (and by long I mean at least 6 years) I feel like I have the ability and the strength to change things around. Like I said at the beginning, I was sceptical on how effective Therapy would be but after the sessions I’ve had with Minoo for the last 3 months I would recommend it (and have been) to anyone who is struggling with there mental health as she has really helped my to turn things around!Thank you Minoo – you really have helped me more that I can put into words!
Nick was a great therapist that really challenged my perspective of self. He provided a safe environment for me to explore traumatic experiences and was always supportive, gentle and kind. He was always very approachable and always said the correct thing.
Emma created an environment of trust and care from my first session, making me feel that I was able to be honest and open in our discussions. This coupled with astute insight and thoughtful technique have lead to impactful shifts in my day to day life.
With a no-nonsense approach, Nick helped me uproot the foundations of a life that was not going the way I wanted it to, and through care, patience and empathy, lay new ones that will help bring about a future I never thought was possible.
I know that there is still work to be done, but thanks to the time I spent with Nick I am now confident in my ability to do the right thing and have stopped waiting for life to just “happen”.
If you are in need of non-judgemental and honest help, Nick is the right man for the job. Thank you.
Jennifer has supported my young daughter and this has been a very positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jennifer if your child needs some support.
