Caitali

“I remember when I first came, I was heartbroken, crushed, feeling depressed, disappointed in myself, useless, lacking self-worth to name a few. I could not even complete the form because of the weight on my mind (in reference to my ex-partner). I am one of the less fortunate to have had a bad marriage. I have experienced all sort of violent abuse, both physical and sexual. With the weekly counselling sessions, I was able to gain my self-worth. I was able to do the following:

To live (no more suicidal thoughts)
Recognise the importance of looking after myself
Acknowledge the help and assistance from good friends
Tried to improve my life and see positive things with helping others
Not to under estimate myself

Even though sometimes I am nervous because I think of the past, I am better off now and I know what to do with my life. There is always help. Thank you for being there for me Tina. You have saved 1 soul. Thank you, I really do appreciate all your support, patience and assistance you have given to me.”

Caitali

“Tina provided a safe, secure therapeutic space online for me to explore myself on a deeper level. She expressed genuine interest in helping me to reclaim my power and become the person I believed I was but lacked the confidence to reveal. She facilitated this process by tailoring suggestions and reflections to support my growth. Tina was able to offer specific cultural insights which made this therapeutic encounter particularly validating and a weight I did not know I was carrying felt like it lifted off my shoulders. Our work helped me to improve my capacity to maintain relationships and resolve conflicts while maintaining my integrity and boundaries. I feel psychologically more robust following this piece of work, am more in touch with my intuition and would highly recommend Tina if you need support with clarifying the intersections of what it is like to be a woman of mixed heritage (Mauritian/Irish) in Westernised society today.”

“Thank you so much for all of those weeks of your listening and support. It has been a special time for me and I have felt quite different in my outlook on life! I have found talking about the past to be extremely difficult and at times I didn't think it was helpful. I used to get so incredibly upset. You've helped me incredibly with wanting to approach the people who I have been scared to approach, and to talk through their views of me directly. I would not have been able to get this space from any other area of my life and I am really pleased that our paths crossed. I wish you nothing but the best in your future life. You've given me the very best to grow mine.”

“It has been really useful working with Tina, especially as she completely understands the cultural background I was talking to her from. It was as if I finally found someone who truly understood what I was going through without having to explain everything in minute detail. There is a specific lens and perspective to understanding what the Asian culture is like, and it is difficult to be understood unless you’ve really experienced it. Coming to see Tina for my therapy sessions meant I could work on my trauma, without having to explain everything to do with my culture first. Thank you, Tina, for helping me to change my life.”

Margaret

“I have felt from the very beginning enormous support and understanding. It helped enormously to understand myself and the relationship I was in. I only have truly amazing things to say and I’m extremely thankful to Tina that I was given this chance, it has changed me as a person. It has changed my life to a better, happier and much more hopeful way that I could ever imagine or thought could be possible. THANK YOU.”

Margaret

"Thank you for listening to me all of those weeks. You have been very helpful. All the best for the rest of your career. I was lucky to have had the opportunity to be seen by you."

Angela

“Thank you so much for helping me get through the hardest few months of my life. I wouldn’t be anywhere close to where I am now without your help so with love and thanks, I wish you all the best for the future. Whoever is lucky enough to have you as their Psychotherapist will most likely find their lives all the better for it. Thank you again so much.”

Angela

“Thank you for your kind and helpful approach to our sessions. From the beginning to the end of my journey. It has helped me to put things into perspective and accept what has gone on before. I wouldn't have been able to do that without your help and support."

“Thank you very much for all of your help. At the beginning I felt like a nervous wreck, but now I honestly feel like a new woman! And I know that is down to you. Not only have you helped me to gain confidence through my sessions, but I’ve also had fun!”

“I would like to say THANK YOU!! It’s been over twenty years that I have put up with physical and verbal abuse, never asking for help. My cup was beginning to overflow and I knew I needed help, and what a great help it has been. I would like to thank Tina for all of her support, understanding and empathy. She is very good! Today is my last session – I wouldn’t say I am over it, but I’m getting stronger day by day. From a thankful client.”

Poonam

Shahida

“Thank you for caring about me enough to tell me the truth. Thank you for telling me it wasn't my fault and that I am good enough as I am. I've been made to feel less than by so many that I've forgotten who I really am. It's been really good to have worked through what it means to be South Asian and the associated shame from what I have gone through. I have been so lost and you've helped and supported me beyond words. ”

Shahida

“Thank you for being a light in the dark. You really helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I didn't expect to receive such valuable help and support from you when we first started working together. I will always remember you. I wish you all the best."
