Nick was warm and supportive and helped me navigate a complex series of circumstances in my life. He gave me sensitivity and related to me in ways in which I could only compare to close family and friends. He was professional as well as empathetic, I whole heartedly recommend his service.
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.
I’ve been seeing Lisa for over two years now. Over that time she has provided me with a safe space within which to work through some complex feelings after my divorce, the breakup of a subsequent relationship, and a difficult period at work. In her company I’ve felt able to open up, exploring areas of my life and childhood that I haven’t before. Her gentle yet astute lines of questioning have been a mirror, helping me truly see connections and behaviours that had been hidden. Her guidance has been invaluable in prompting me to work between appointments. Throughout, she has reminded me to be kind, to myself, whilst on a journey that has been really important…
I found my time at The Awareness Centre quite revealing and so helpful in the long run. Philippa was so approachable, understanding and I felt a shift in my behaviour very quickly within a number of sessions. Where I have previously failed to make improvements or facilitate change with various different counsellors, I immediately felt able to express myself and voice my honest concerns. The environment was friendly and accessible, where before I’ve often found talking about problems clinical or forced. I’m really grateful for the sessions and the way they have enabled to cope better with my issues, in particular anxiety.
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.
The counselling and guidance I received by Joy at the awareness centre has been invaluable and a huge help during a challenging time in my life.
Having been in and out of therapy for many years I found the approach and support to be very helpful and it enabled me to find clarity and the ability to not just face the many challenges in my life but start to deal with them. I am very grateful and would highly recommend Joy to anyone and everyone who would benefit from additional support through therapy. As hard and challenging as it was I always left feeling enlightened and lighter which was a huge lift at a difficult time. I found myself looking forward to the session every week. Thank you Joy.
