I began seeing Sylvia about 2 months ago. From the first session, Sylvia made me feel heard and understood. The environment made me feel extremely safe and very relaxed. I was able to open up to her in a way I’ve never done before and she really helped me put all the pieces back together with regards to my past anxieties. She really took the time to listen to me about past family issues and other personal issues and made me understand myself more. I have truly gained so much more confidence in myself and understand why I was the way I was and she has helped me to use my voice in such a positive way. I would highly recommend Sylvia because she really dedicates her time to listen and is so supportive. Working with Sylvia was one of the best decisions I have made.

This therapy for me has been instrumental in my emotional healing process, specifically having a therapist like Vas who is empathetic but also can challenge me has helped me grow in many areas of my life and become aware of my behaviours which no longer serve their purpose, whilst also learning to accept and manage the parts of me that may never change.

I felt very lost and hopeless when I started seeing Lesley. Our weekly sessions helped me to understand and accept my past. I am now a new me, who deals better with anxiety and enjoys life. I highly recommend Lesley to anyone seeking 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.

Having not considered myself a ‘therapy person’ I found it difficult to bring myself to even call up about booking an appointment. I chose a therapist out of a few names provided and honestly everything changed for me once I started my sessions. Lesley was my saving grace in what was probably the toughest year I’ve experience so far in my life; I was apprehensive to share, to admit I didn’t have everything under control or figured out but literally from 15 minutes into my first session all of those feelings melted away and I was able to work through these obstacles in a safe space with the most incredible guide I could have asked for. To describe Lesley’s sessions as life-changing is no exaggeration. I am forever grateful for having found her.

After the sudden death of a close friend, which had followed on from the sudden death of another good friend, I began to experience anxiety attacks. They were serious enough that I attended hospital by ambulance. I came to therapy with Donna in order to cope with bereavement. However, through her probing questions, I was able to understand where I was in terms of my life and also the loss I had felt of my inner optimism and vibrancy.

From the first session, I began to feel deep relief within myself and since then I can think of my friends and family without having an attack. I also feel liberated from the closed in feeling that I had carried with me for a while and I have regained much of my confidence both personally and professionally. I think that Donna was able to understand what I needed straight away and I am grateful for the space to be able to speak freely about my emotions without feeling judged.
