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.
Talking therapy has changed my life, helping me much more than I thought it could. I would encourage anyone who is considering counselling to go for it.
I thought Natalia was an excellent therapist, I have had therapy in the past and have not found it as helpful before. With Natalia I felt like she created a very safe space, she made me feel relaxed and comfortable enough to open up and express myself. I feel like she made the effort to make a connection with me as a client. Thank you for your help.
Phil was an excellent therapist, both giving me space to speak my mind to the conclusion of a thought, and then at the appropriate time stepping in to suggest new ways of seeing my emotions in context. I’ve emerged from the experience enriched and better able to perceive the perspectives of others in my life and relationships, without negating my own emotions within them. I would highly recommend speaking with Phil if you have a situation in your life which you feel a lack of control over – his calm, patient and kind approach was invaluable in navigating several very difficult months for me.
Had a good experience with The Awareness Centre when my son did some counselling with Magda Florek in preparation for secondary school. Her approach through art worked really well with our son, who is on the quiet side, and she had some practical advice and reassuring commentary at the end of our round of sessions.
Finally – an affordable, consistent counselling service that doesn’t have to cut off treatment to a deadline when you are finally getting somewhere. My counsellor has helped me to transform the way I see things, and given me the tools to go it alone. I haven’t had to worry about huge debts either. I couldn’t recommend this service enough.
