Counselling Network – Find the right counsellor for you

I am very grateful to Sharon for the effort she made with me. I have seen OHU counsellors and NHS counsellors too but I would say from the CBT point of view Sharon was really good in her field, she was understanding, knowledgeable and professional. And by far the best therapist I have interacted with on a CBT front. My panic attacks and anxiety were illnesses related and very severe. I would definitely recommend engaging in a few sessions especially if you are experiencing complex issues.

For those considering working with Sharon I cannot recommend highly enough that you give it a try. For me the results have been life changing and definitely worth the investment. I have found myself tackling some really difficult issues with an assertiveness I didn’t have before. I now know what I want out of life, have strong convictions and a sense of direction. I believe in myself and feel excited about the future.

I am very grateful to Julia for her reliable, empathic and skilled approach to my therapy with her. She has enabled me over the weeks to challenge my own thought processes

‘This is the best we’ve been in a long time. When I first called, I felt very low and thought we were going to separate. We were living parallel lives but now we feel together. Communication is much better between us’

I’ve been going to sessions with Lisa for almost a year and a half, after struggling with the effects of childhood trauma I needed someone to help me unpack everything and help to improve self esteem, anxiety, depression and relationships with others. Lisa has been a wonderful therapist and has truly helped me to change my life, how I feel about myself, understand my life experiences and understand how to better connect with others. She creates a warm and accepting environment, recommend.

I've changed in so many ways, I feel so much lighter. It's not so much of a traffic jam in my head now. I have been in counselling since I was 18 (now age 38) and this is the only one that's ever worked, it's been life changing. I’ve never done the exposure hierarchy before and that really worked for me to tackle my anxiety rather than just coping strategies.

Meeting regularly with Piers through a difficult period of work-related anxiety has been enormously helpful. Piers has a deep and rich understanding of psychological theory and therapeutic approaches and has flexibly applied these with me as my needs have evolved. Piers is an attentive listener and I have always felt heard, understood and supported whilst also gently challenged when appropriate. I highly recommend Piers as a counsellor and therapist both for his skill and his kindness and can sa

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.

I spent close to 11 months working with Lisa, and from the beginning she made the sessions feel like a safe and welcoming space. I was able to share thoughts and feelings that I hadn't been able to before and at no point did she make me feel judged or criticised. Overall, the sessions with Lisa led to me making some big changes in my life, she supported me in a way that I didn't feel pressure to do or change anything I wasn't ready for, which has made me feel like the changes can be lasting.

Kam was so warm and empathetic towards me and the complex trauma I had suffered was heard and handled so sensitively I felt seen, heard and understood. Kam has a unique blend of approaches that worked for me in releasing my past trauma including the trauma timeline and inner child healing work. I would highly recommend Kam if you want an empathetic, genuine and professional therapist who has alot of experience, knowledge and insight. Thank you Kam for helping me to heal and find my true self❤️
