Starting therapy at The Awareness Centre has been truly life changing. Claire was the perfect fit for me from the beginning and is helping me navigate so many things I used to muddle through alone. Having somewhere like this local to me has been a complete game changer and I’m so grateful for it.
Riana put me at ease from the first consultation and really took time to understand what i wanted to accomplish from our counselling sessions. She has helped me understand my self concept and limiting beliefs that have stemmed from childhood. She provided written resources that I could use to further my understanding of what i was experiencing . We got to grips with how to turn things around with my thought processes. Whilst this is work in progress for me, i am
Definitely more confident within myself and have a better awareness of how to turn my thoughts around when they are negative. Riana has helped me immensely to accept the past for what it is but not let it define who i am today. I have a high regard for her professionalism and expertise in being able to pin point and draw out my thoughts and emotions and my own awareness of how to change them to positive. I have no hesitation in recommending Riana to anyone considering counselling.
I worked with Anna over the course of 8 counselling sessions and I have found these sessions extremely helpful. Anna set some clear objectives and an initial timeline for our work together. She was professional but also friendly and approachable so I found myself at ease very quickly and was able to share more and more over our sessions together.
I felt that Anna genuinely cared about my story and while she was a wonderful listening ear, she also gave me ideas and avenues to explore in order to move forward, by interpreting how my past experiences may have shaped the person I am now and the challenges I sometimes struggle with. Her warmth and her absolute belief that anyone can change and have a healthier relationship with themselves was a great comfort to me.
After 8 sessions, I find myself with some great tools to move forward and achieve the change I am seeking. Anna has taught me that the most important thing of all is being kind and patient to myself and I am very glad I worked with her. I would be completely happy to recommend Anna to anyone who is looking for a good counsellor.
Holly was very warm right from the start and I felt I could be completely honest with the thoughts and feelings I had through a very challenging period of changes in my family life. Our weekly sessions gave me an opportunity to take stock of what was happening, acknowledge the pace of change and how I was responding. In fact, I returned to Holly a while later when circumstances became more challenging again as I knew how beneficial it was to have that regular time and space to reflect and clarify my thoughts.
Ann supported me for over a year through a journey of grief after losing my father to cancer. I was feeling low and confused and she helped guide me through these feelings and learn to acknowledge and accept them in order to process them. Not only did she help open my eyes to how normal my feelings were but helped me navigate difficult relationships that I have with other family members. Talking about these feelings and opening up about some difficult memories from the past I have been able to improve my approach to these relationships. I can’t thank Ann enough for her patience and feel grateful for her guidance.
