Find out what our therapists have said about working with The Awareness Centre

Making the transition from placement counsellor into private practice is often perceived as a daunting prospect. At TAC I have found this transition to not only be a positive experience, but one that has been fully supported by the team. The guidance that I received when first starting out in private practice was invaluable and is ongoing.

Working alongside the TAC team, as well as low cost and private practitioners, has provided me with a sense of belonging and stability, which is important, as it creates an environment that is supportive and safe to work within. I highly recommend TAC as a positive environment for private practice.

I have found working from the Awareness Centre over the years has suited me very well. I completed my first training placement here as a student back in 2008, and so feel there is some history in the building and my development as a psychotherapist. My practice has steadily grown and the fact that reception staff can refer directly to me has been a major factor in keeping a healthy caseload going. Staff are responsive and warm, and the flexibility with The Awareness Centre has been mutually beneficial. I respect the fact that Michaela takes an active interest in the many therapists and counselors who work at The Awareness Centre and its satellite clinics.

I have been working with The Awareness Centre for some time now; first as a placement therapist and now as an assessment therapist. As an assessor I find it really fulfilling being the first contact that someone might have with mental health services. It is a real privilege and honour to be entrusted by so many.

The Awareness Centre is a wonderful place to work because it puts the needs of clients first – which is why this new service was created. Having that initial assessment allows therapist’s to see which type of therapy and therapist might be suitable so that clients have the best experience that they can.

The Awareness Centre is extremely professional and well-run, and provides a welcoming and peaceful environment from which to see clients. The building and rooms are well maintained, well-furnished and comfortable, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
