I consulted Riffat regarding my son's dyslexia, which was affecting his confidence at school. Using the ADOS-2 diagnostic framework, which felt genuinely collaborative rather than one-directional. School picked up on the difference without us even mentioning it, and it's lasted.
What changed everything for me wasn't just talking about difficulties in my sex life that I'd never addressed — it was Housam's approach, through structured CBT work, which gave practical tools that actually got used. After everything, I'm proud of how far I've come, and that alone was worth it.
I walked in not expecting much, if I'm honest, but Nikki proved otherwise when it came to a hoarding problem that had taken over my home, using a CBT-based framework, which respected exactly where things were at. Some days more than others, things finally feel manageable, finally.
Six months ago my child's developmental language disorder felt like it defined me. Working with Rebecca, taking a person-centred approach, which helped things click in a way nothing else had, it doesn't anymore. These days, things that used to be a daily struggle barely register now — something we're genuinely grateful for.
If you're dealing with the effects of bullying my daughter was experiencing, I can't recommend Haneyeh enough — taking a trauma-informed approach, which finally gave a name to what had been happening. Most days, we finally have a name for what we were dealing with.
Emotional outbursts I couldn't seem to regulate — I genuinely didn't think anyone could help with that. Indu did, drawing on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, which brought real clarity to a confusing situation. It took time, but Nowadays, small wins finally feel like they count, and I'm grateful for that every day.
What I appreciated most about Tina was that OCD that had taken over my daily routines was never treated as a box to tick, leaning on ACT principles, which helped things click in a way nothing else had. I'm no longer surprised by my own reactions — something I wasn't sure was possible.
Tina is fantastic. I came in dealing with postnatal anxiety after the birth of my baby, and through ACT-based work, which made room for nuance most approaches miss. Honestly, the panic has quietened right down, and it's stuck.
What I appreciated most about Emma was that emotional outbursts I couldn't seem to regulate was never treated as a box to tick, drawing on mindfulness throughout, which gave language for things that had never had words before. Some days more than others, the panic has quietened right down — something I wasn't sure was possible.
I walked in dreading another conversation about supporting my child, who has cerebral palsy. Instead, Riffat made it feel possible, through systemic work, which cut through a lot of noise quickly. Compared to before, we finally have a name for what we were dealing with. I've already told friends to book with Riffat.
It took me years to seek help for coming to terms with my identity as an LGBTQ+ person. I wish I'd found Housam sooner — using Narrative Therapy, which got to the heart of things faster than expected. Little by little, I can finally exhale, which I wasn't sure I'd ever get to say.
I'll admit I was sceptical that anything could really help with a spiral of negative thinking I couldn't switch off. Dima proved me wrong, using hypnotherapy techniques, which reached things ordinary conversation hadn't. In hindsight, I'm no longer surprised by my own reactions, and that's no small thing.
