Had to switch therapist as she was leaving and was recommended to speak with Donna. I was a bit apprehensive as it’s hard to swap when you’ve opened up to someone. To my surprise I felt comfortable from the first session and walked out feeling very calm about the swap. Since then it’s been like that. Donna is very calm, asks questions, challenges thoughts without judgment and makes me feel heard. She also encourages small changes in behaviour, thoughts to try a think about during the week without making it feel like homework. That’s all I can ask for really. Very grateful.

Nick is a kind, thoughtful, sympathetic, empathetic, humane, experienced and engaged therapist. After we’d talked for some months, he had a crucial insight into my issues which no one had had, and then suggested a course of action which changed my life.

I’m forever indebted to Nick for his help and support, and to The Awareness Centre for bringing us together and giving us a perfect place to talk.

I have found a real safe space to work through some extremely difficult and painful things which Ella has facilitated for me. She has always been professional and although the process is extremely hard sometimes I trust that I’m in safe hands which is hugely due to how Ella has navigated our sessions. I look forward to the rest of the process.

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 started my therapy sessions with Jackie in June 2023 after going through a toxic breakup. Initially, I went to therapy to help me heal from my breakup, but I found that the more I was attending sessions, the more I realised I had a lot of emotional turmoil and unhealed generational trauma I needed to work on.

Jackie was patient with me, she listened and helped me compartmentalise what was happening and helped me look at it in a different lens. Since stopping therapy with Jackie, I react better to my triggers, I’ve gained a new sense of confidence and I know what is important to me and what I should focus on. Thank you for everything, Jackie.

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.
