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 met with Matt, weekly, over the course of a year and we worked through relationship difficulties, family struggles and personal battles of mine. Through open conversation, Matt offered tools and skills to help me understand myself and look at my patterns of behaviour. Almost a year out of therapy I feel I know myself better and continue to draw on these tools.
Sunah has been essential in my mental health journey for several months now. She is a great listener and gives me the safe space I needed to explore my feelings.
I have made huge realizations and progress, I am eager to continue this healing path with Sunah.
I found the counselling I have received very helpful. It made me understand the way I was feeling in more depth. Velma is very friendly, warm and non-judgemental and has really helped me cope with my difficulties and taught me how to believe in myself.
Feeling anxious after a breakup and massive dissatisfaction with my job, uncertain as to how I could build a future, I turned to Stuart for guidance. Our weekly sessions helped me become clearer about my thoughts and feelings. Stuart is supportive, genuine, and knowledgeable, and quickly put me at ease. The sessions provided a safe, non-judgemental environment, where I felt comfortable talking about difficult problems. It was an often challenging, but ultimately extremely rewarding experience, which I’d absolutely recommend to others considering support.
Last year, I went through some traumatic events and was recommended EMDR therapy. Shirley’s professionalism and guidance not only helped me process these experiences but also uncovered some underlying conflicts that had been weighing on me subconsciously. I am very grateful to Shirley and wholeheartedly recommend her services.
