I worked with Joy whilst I was having some difficulties with work relationships and dealing with problems with my family. Joy was really attentive, a great listener and really helped me. I always felt at ease and comfortable, and I highly recommended her.
My short time at The Awareness Centre has been most fruitful. It is a place that from the get-go was warm and friendly. My initial phone call to the centre in order to set up standing appointments was a refreshingly friendly and encouraging experience.
Since I have started 1-to-1 sessions here at the centre, I have found that I am learning more about myself in a safe environment. I find that I feel heard in my sessions but not pandered to or dismissed, which I had not experienced before when I previously sought help.
I would recommend this centre to others seeking therapy, as my experience is very positive.
I have been with Colette for almost 2 years now and she has been absolutely amazing in helping me understand feelings and manage them; consider different perspectives and adapt.
She has always been super understanding and helpful!
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.
We were very please with the service provided by The Awareness Centre. From the very first contact made, throughout our 6 months of sessions we learnt a great deal about each other and ourselves, we have enhanced our relationship and our lives. Many thanks indeed!
I have previously worked with a few different counsellors at various stages in my life and Emma is the counsellor that I have worked with most consistently. I feel comfortable and supported and we have discussed realistic options for what the sessions will achieve. Emma is compassionate and insightful. Moreover, I appreciate the different approaches she incorporates into our sessions, whether it be Mindfulness-based techniques or ACT. My experience in the sessions with Emma has been evolving based on the use of different approaches and she helps me feel confident in challenging my perspectives and opening out how I think about some things in my life.
