Our Roots CIC

I am currently having CBT with my therapist Jennifer. On our first call I just remember feeling so sad, useless and lost. I think i cried most of the call. Jennifer listened and then with her unique/ challenging but kind skills she managed to have me focus on me, my reactions and my path to regaining control or change how I feel. Each week helping me understand how i was feeling and what i could do to feel better or accept how i felt. Some of my issues remain but I think and act differently and feel happier and more confident to pick myself up, deal with and carry on. After my sessions I feel heard and understood. Thank you Jennifer and all the best x Georgina

I have enjoyed my therapy, I’ve found it refreshing to talk to Kiran about things I might not feel comfortable sharing with friends or family. I feel as if I have gained what I had hoped through my sessions, which I’m very pleased about. She has been friendly and supportive and I have felt comfortable opening up to her! I would definitely recommend this service to anyone that is considering and even I myself would be happy to come back for more sessions if needed.

Now I’m not normally a person who gives reviews however on this occasion I felt I’d like to give praise and huge thanks to Adam Dean for the fantastic life changing work he did with me. I’d previously only had female counsellors so I wasn’t sure if this was going to work at first but as I was going through a transitional time with life and had just started working at a new job which was very different to what I’d previously done I definitely needed some extra support and Adam’s timing at arranging my appointments was perfect. I loved the fact that Adam was able to accommodate my sessions outside of my working day and the way our sessions were structured was brilliant as I felt that Adam would really listen to what I had to say, how I was feeling and the content of our sessions really helped to organise me and my life progressively enabling me to see measurable results in terms of me staying focused, and consistent as well as making huge adjustments to my lifestyle and purpose. The homework that was set each week helped enormously as I felt that accountability to work hard and to get the most out of my sessions. I would definitely recommend working with Adam Dean as he is kind, compassionate and he’s definitely hugely passionate about achieving great results with his clients.

I had Leanne as my therapist for 6 sessions and I was a bit apprehensive going into it, I’m very much a deal with it myself kind of person. But Leanne listened, even when every one of my sessions I would always vent about the same things. She offered helpful advice and ways to change how I’m thinking and how I can take something negative and spin into a less negative thing. It’s by no means a cure but it’s a relief to be listened to and embraced with zero judgment. I highly recommend Our Roots and Leanne in general 🙂

My counsellor kiran has made me feel like i was safe in speaking to her i had no negative vibes neither did i feel like i was being judged, though I’ve only spoken to her a couple of times she has made me feel heard and has also said i could share anything i feel with her. Kiran is very understanding and empathetic towards me, no matter what i tell her she makes me feel supported. I feel listened and understood. She calmly makes me understand why i can be a certain way sometimes, with kiran listening to me it makes me feel more confident in being able to share more.

My counsellor, Kiran, has allowed me to open up without feeling judged, and i feel very comfortable talking to her and was definitely better than the second counsellor I had previously. I have so far had a positive relationship with my counsellor Kiran, as we are both from an ethnic background, so I can relate to each others experiences, and I feel less different. I feel better talking things out. I have been going through an extremely rough time and would frequently text my counsellor asking to talk, however not having anyone around reinforced the thoughts that I wasnt loved or needed which futher sent me into a depressive spiral in the middle of my Alevels.

Emily was amazing during my therapy sessions with her 🙂 Throughout the sessions we found out what caused my anxieties to rise and how to help and reduce them through multiple techniques, finding what worked best for me. Overall, i have come out of therapy and my anxiety has been significantly reduced and i now know how to deal with it if it ever does rise in the future. Thank you for the help and support because its been super helpful 🙂
