Counselling Network – Find the right counsellor for you

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

Sharon has helped me deal with decades of misdirected guilt and I am now enjoying a much better life with a new social circle as a result. There’s still work to do and I’m now armed with the tools to tackle it. Thank you!

“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."

"I've used Harry as a life coach over the last few years with my relationships and career advice, and he's always offered reliable suggestions to help me find solutions to my problems and make better decisions along the way. Definitely recommend him to anyone in need."

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.

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.

"Harry has made a huge impact on my personal growth and development, he has helped me breach my comfort zone and always given me a way forward to focus on building my confidence! I can't recommend him enough, he is extremely welcoming, kind, and a great teacher!"

'Have been with Sola for a few months whilst wanting to work through things and she has be nothing but amazing. Very empathic and feel like you are being heard'.

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'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.
