Counselling Network – Find the right counsellor for you

Shabana is one of those rare people who truly listens and understands without judgement. From the very first session, she created a calm, safe space where I felt completely at ease to open up. She has a real talent for gently exploring and intuitively recognising the deeper areas where she can help you work through challenges and reframe your thinking, without ever making you feel pushed. Her support came at a time when life felt overwhelming, and she helped me slowly rebuild my confidence.

We came into couples therapy with Kam due to infidelity and she helped us to hear each other without things escalating. We found her approach very real, and fair. She never took sides and was able to help us to navigate a very difficult time in our marriage. We chose to stay together and have learned to move forward by processing the past. We couldn’t have done this without Kam’s support.

Thank you. I genuinely couldn’t have found a better individual to speak to if I was still searching now. Sharon recognised bits and pieces I hadn’t even thought of before we really got talking. I opened up my world, Sharon listened carefully and acted with consideration not just for me but for those of importance to me. You are an incredibly gifted professional and I would not hesitate in recommending you.

"Working with Piers gave me a genuinely different way of approaching my anxiety. The ERP framework he introduced has been the most practical thing I've tried, and it's something I'm still using and building on. He is very welcoming and easy to talk to and I would be happy to recommend him to others."

A friendly, professional service that helped me get my worries into perspective and develop more positive ways of looking at things. The practical tips for managing anxiety proved useful. I’m very glad I took the step towards CBT that led to me meeting Andrew.

Without Andrew, I’m not sure I’d be here. I had been suicidal and in a pretty sorry state, but with his experience, patience and guidance, I’m still here. My wife has her husband back and my children their father.

"I wanted to share our experience with Reena, who has been working with our son over the past year. She has such a wonderful way with kids, and my son really connected with her right from the start. What really matters to us as parents is that our son genuinely looks forward to his sessions, and we can see how much he's grown and made progress. Reena has earned his trust and their work together has really helped him. He often says that everyone should have someone like Reena in their life."

I have struggled with anxiety all my life and last summer it was at an all time low. I decided for the first time ever that I needed to get help therefore I found Clear Mind CBT and started therapy. Andrew was my therapist and I can’t thank him enough for how much he helped me. He was truly amazing. I had never felt like someone understood me as much as he did, he made me feel so comfortable and within the first few sessions I had already seen a massive improvement

“The sessions I had with Caroline were quietly transformative. From the outset, she created an atmosphere of safety and I sensed a deep level of integrity that allowed me to be completely honest with myself and my grief without my usual protective social mask. I had 12 sessions with Caroline and by the end I left feeling more whole and clearer in myself."

"Reena was incredibly knowledgeable and created a safe space in which all members of the group felt comfortable. Our group were able to experience a number of different breath-work practices with journalling and guided discussion been used to reflect on how these practices might be used and the physical and emotional journey it created for each individual. By the end of the course, we felt equipped with a new set of tools to help us as individuals better navigate the strains of daily life."
