The Awareness Centre

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.

I attended 6 weeks of face to face counselling sessions with Ann at the Awareness Centre during a period of heightened worry and anxiety in my life as a result of various family problems. I really feel that this process of having the space to explore what had happened to me and the feelings that I experienced as a result of this, was invaluable. I felt re-assured and was helped to see something of how I had carried patterns of behaviour that had resulted in a period of overload and crisis. I am very grateful to Ann for her insight and her skill in supporting me.

I enjoyed my sessions with John and found them helpful. He is very good at listening and understanding your problem and concentrates on how to help you.

I was sceptical on how effective therapy would be but seeing as my life was a total mess with me having no joy, no hope and no clue on how to deal with it I thought I may as well give it a go. I’m extremely happy I did. On 28th of September, which was the day before my first session, I was as low as could have possibly got – I didn’t want to socialise, I didn’t want to go to work, I didn’t want have any contact with anyone to the point where I had hardly been outside the house for the best part of a year! With Minoo’s help however, my life has changed dramatically. She managed to get me to ask questions of myself – questions I would never have even thought about without her assistance – and I now feel empowered enough to make drastic changes. Now I’m not going to say that my life is now perfect and there is quite a way to go but for the first time in a long time (and by long I mean at least 6 years) I feel like I have the ability and the strength to change things around. Like I said at the beginning, I was sceptical on how effective Therapy would be but after the sessions I’ve had with Minoo for the last 3 months I would recommend it (and have been) to anyone who is struggling with there mental health as she has really helped my to turn things around!Thank you Minoo – you really have helped me more that I can put into words!

P.C
My therapy sessions have been very effective. I have noticed improvement in my general life and wellbeing. The sessions consist of good constructive conversation and feedback. I feel comfortable, recognised and understood by my therapist.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Jackie, who made me feel at ease for my first session. I found her a great help and a good listener who guided me through some really tough times. Helping me to make sense of how I was feeling and a way forward which was a great help.
