"From our first conversation, Ati understood me and what would work with how I think and was so comforting.  Everything was explained in a way I could easily understand, she helped me apply coping mechanisms to my situation and we worked through ways of dealing with thoughts / feelings that I use continuously.

I reached out to Ati when I was going through a rough period of time and each session Ati was positive, caring, understanding, thoughtful, and so so helpful.  She helped me understand things I've been trying to figure out for years and also opened my eyes to reasons I hadn't considered.

I'm so thankful a friend recommended Ati to me and grateful to Ati for everything she has done for me."

"Thank you so much Ati for your help over the past couple of years and for the books you have recommended, it's much appreciated.  Words cannot describe how grateful I am to you and your help.  You are such an amazing and inspirational counsellor who is not only so professional but kind and compassionate.  I felt incredibly lucky to be able to have sessions with you during one of the most challenging times I have ever experienced and I cannot imagine where I would be without attending those sessions with you."

"I first was referred to Ati about 4.5 years ago when I lost my brother.  I was having panic attacks and found the grief I was experiencing extremely overwhelming.  At that time I also had to deal with the breakdown of a 20 year friendship and stress from family members.  I needed someone professional to help me through this dark time in my life. 

Ati's approach was kind, thoughtful, constructive and helpful.  I always felt I could tell her anything and she was always empathetic and understanding in her approach.

I can honestly say that Ati has changed my life for the better.  She has equipped me with skills that not only help me with life changing situations but that I can also use to support others. 

Ati's approach has meant that she is helping people far beyond her reach every day.

I feel so privileged to have had my sessions with Ati - she helped piece me back together again and I will always be eternally grateful."

"My therapy experience began when I found myself emotional, exhausted and overwhelmed by prioritising the interests of those around me over my self-care.  I had a build-up of so many emotions ranging from many years including personal relations, friendships, feeling lost with what I felt, losing my satisfaction in helping others.

I went into my first session not knowing where my journey will go and Ati made me feel so comfortable with the uncertainty I felt.  I'm able to openly express all my emotions that I cannot even label.  I felt understood and relatable when talking and when I was silent.

I see Ati as a mentor, she continues to help me understand my life, my decisions and how I am as an individual.  She is so kind, delicate, thoughtful and dedicated to helping her clients.  Through talking, listening, as well as providing techniques/skills too for me to take away to maintain my personal progression and recognise my triggers.  

It is hard to change overnight but my emotional well-being is in a much better place.

Thank you for reminding me what values and why there are close to my heart, the importance of each of those values and for pulling me through a personal breakdown."

"I went to see Ati after being in a horrible relationship, I was very lost and was very low at this time.

All I can say is Ati saw me when I didn't see myself.  I went through group therapy and then had CBT sessions with Ati.  She is an amazing therapist, she makes you feel at ease and you can say and tell her anything and she will always give you an honest answer.

Ati you are amazing! Thank you will never be enough.

"I had several sessions with Ati in 2017 during a relationship breakdown which coincided with my concerns about being childless in my late thirties.  I cannot recommend Ati highly enough.  She is a brilliant therapist and I am so very grateful to her for providing a safe space for me during that difficult time.  I felt that I was able to cry and be fully honest with Ati about my situation and past without judgement, and I felt so supported by her during the sessions. 

Ati and her work made such a difference to be back then, and my life is so much happier now as a result of Ati's support and the tools she gave me (which I continue to use). 

Thank you so much Ati - you are an amazing person and I would recommend you to anyone!"

"I thoroughly recommend Ati as an incredibly dedicated, ethical and efficient professional who, through powerful tools and techniques, helps individuals to develop an awareness of their values and beliefs and to apply those to transform their life for the better.

Thank you for an amazing journey so far."

"I initially signed up for a therapy session as I was feeling very overwhelmed with work and personal stress.  During the time that I met with Ati she provided invaluable support and guidance.  

I've always felt comforted knowing that I have an appointment booked in with her, and have the space to let go and reflect.  We've talked through resilience building and coping techniques that I'm sure I'll be using for the rest of my life.  

I always feel positive after meeting with her and proud of how far I've come."

"I want to express my deep and sincere gratitude to our therapist, Ati, who has helped us both immeasurably to realise the full value of our marriage and place the problems faced by my husband and I in their true perspective.

She has listened with patience and understanding, helping us both to appreciate each other's differing reactions to certain situations.

As a result, we have come to understand each other with a renewed respect and are now equipped to maintain this loving relationship which we now enjoy.

For this, I thank Ati completely; she is a credit to her profession."

"Ati is a very special therapist, as soon as I met her I knew she was genuine and that she would help me to help myself.

Since meeting Ati, I have managed to overcome years of personal anguish with her positive support and structured guidance.

I suffered with panic attacks for many years and I did not ever imagine being able to overcome them, now I am in control and they are not. Having panic attacks was the most frightening experience as I felt alone, that no one understood and that there was no cure.

With the support of Ati, I managed to totally rethink what I was going through, empowering me to be the person I was before they happened and I know that they will never take control of my life again.

For meeting Ati, I have become a stronger, wiser person and able to let go of things I held onto needlessly - blame, self-hatred - and think about my life, the good things I have done, and what I have achieved.

It is rare to come across someone so selflessly dedicated to helping others.  I will always be grateful and truly glad that Ati was there as my therapist, to help me when I thought all hope was lost."

"I met Ati a year ago after being referred to her following a period of absence from work, due to work-related stress issues.  I have never experienced this before, despite having dealt with many difficult issues throughout my life.  It was such a frightening experience and I felt unable to see a way forward.  I had never attended counselling sessions before and I was apprehensive that I would not know what to say, or be able to say enough.  

I immediately felt a strong bond with Ati - she was compassionate and caring and I felt completely at ease and I was able to discuss my fears and concerns very easily.

Ati helped me work through my issues and I found the exercises thought-provoking and enlightening.  I have no doubt in my mind that it is thanks to Ati that I was able to return to work, learned how to deal with potentially difficult situations in a clear and positive way, and developed increased self-esteem and self-confidence."

"Feelings of apprehension can arise when you are going into a counselling environment, communicating and baring your soul is very emotionally exposing, but in my sessions with Ati, I was made to feel instantly comfortable and at ease.

I found my time with Ati extremely beneficial and quickly learned techniques to improve my resilience in challenging situations."
