The Awareness Centre

I attended Shirley, to treat me for PTSD, which I had for 2 years. It had gotten to crisis point. The guidance and help I received from Shirley was exceptional. Shirley introduced me to EMDR, which worked incredibly well for me. She guided me through each step and checked in with me at all times. I was amazed at how quickly I came to terms with the trauma that brought me to be treated by Shirley. I am continuing with good mental health, and am very grateful for Shirley’s expertise and professional skills. I have had therapy sporadically over a long period of time and would rate Shirley as being one of the best. I would highly recommend her therapeutic skills and knowledge.

I’m currently new in counselling and so far I’m enjoying it. My therapist made me feel human and that having emotions are ok. He listen to my concerns and address it. He’s really a big help especially on the type of work I do. Counselling made me realise a lot of things and recognise that I do need help. Thanks Pavol!

I found my sessions with Joy to be really helpful and insightful. She’s helped me open up more and provided perspective on different issues I’ve been dealing with. She’s a very thoughtful person who creates a comfortable space to talk through things. I’m always impressed by how well she remembers details from our conversations – it makes such a difference knowing she’s truly listening and engaged. Working with her has genuinely helped me grow, and I’d definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a therapist.

Cindy

My partner and I didn’t know what to expect from couples therapy. I think we thought you only go if you’re about to break up, but the sessions made us closer and more understanding of each other. I would recommend this centre to anyone – especially couples who want a safe space to work through any disagreements.

Sunah has been instrumental in helping me move beyond past traumas and guiding me toward healing. She provides a compassionate and safe space where I feel empowered to explore and practice coping methods that truly make a difference. With her support, I’ve learned to navigate challenges with more confidence and resilience, feeling equipped with tools that help me manage life’s difficulties in healthier ways. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and the personal growth I’ve experienced through our work together.

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.
