The Awareness Centre

I started therapy to help with anxiety, worrying, and catastophising as it could dominate my thoughts, which was both exhausting and could prevent me doing things.

It was helpful to have a safe space to say how I was feeling and how my brain would think about things to someone and have that support of someone who would listen without judgement. Being able to discuss things in therapy has helped me look at issues more rationally and help me think of other possible outcomes to situations I worry about and to take action.

Dealing with anxiety hasn’t been a smooth journey and I have some way to go, but I feel I have become better at managing negative thinking and now have more techniques to fall back on when things are hard.

Marina is a wonderful and caring therapist. She always listens attentively, and has given me so many valuable and encouraging insights to help me let go, develop and feel empowered. She has helped me to connect more with my feelings and express them, as well as make sense of my experiences and how they relate to the present.

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 started therapy really down and broken I was overly anxious about everything big and small, through the course of our time together Valeria has really helped me understand my feelings and emotions better, she’s has recommend literature and meditation practices that have helped see the bigger picture when I start to get down or depressed. I am an overall better person now my relationships with those closer to me has improved because I am not so self involved (or at least I try not to be) and my relationship with myself has also improved as I try to be kinder to myself. What a life changing experience, couldn’t have done it without Valeria.

Ms Akhtar has been very helpful, understanding and emphathic. Always gives the time to listen and guide me through any issues I may be facing.
