Therapist Reviews

“I and my rowing partner have been talking to Gareth about the mental challenges associated with an unassisted Atlantic Row, which we will begin in December. He has been a fantastic help, explaining many of the drivers of the emotions we will experience and the chemical reactions we will experience. We don't know quite we are going to fare, but our past and ongoing sessions with Gareth will no doubt help us overcome the extreme challenges we expect to face. Thank you Gareth. We very much appreciate the warmth of your approach and the engaging way that you are teaching us about the mysterious workings of the human brain! ”

“It is hard to find the words to describe what changes have happened since I had my first session with Tej. I don't think I really even understand what is happening to me but it's all extremely positive. I have only had 4 sessions so far and the past 4 weeks have been the most emotional but liberating of my life. I've had a range of mental health diagnosis given to me through my life - anxiety, depression, OCD - and I had completed numerous rounds of CBT with little effect. I have been on what can only be described as a lifelong roller coaster of overwhelm and underwhelm with little space in between of actual peace for any length of time. I lived with an empty feeling inside me that never went away, like a void that could never be filled with anything as much as I tried - work, food, people, hobbies, alcohol or even myself - this left me feeling like there was something fundamentally wrong with me and I would blame anything and everything for my own internal pain and disconnection. This was all relatively manageable (because I'd never known any different, I thought this was normal) until I has a breakdown 5 years ago and then subsequently spent the years since in some sort of huge crisis whether that be relationally or professionally or anything in between. I felt completely stuck, numb and empty and unable to move forward or that there was any point to life or even a future. I was swinging between being completely disconnected or in a state of massive distress; it just kept getting worse and it affected my thoughts 24/7. After a few years of this rollercoaster and more attempts at CBT, I finally found Tej. I chose Tej because she does a range of different therapy methods and I was so sick of feeling the way I did that I wanted to finally get to the route cause of my issues rather than treating the anxious/ depressive surface level symptoms. I never really knew much about Complex Trauma and thought that my upbringing was relatively normal - there was no one massive trauma in my past but there was a lot of difficulties and confusion that I am only just starting to realise really affected me. What I'm learning is that by linking the past with how you relate to and connect with others in adulthood you start to find some peace. You have to allow yourself to start feeling all these feelings (I never really understood what feelings even are and wasn't really allowed to feel them growing up - all I ever really felt in adulthood was pain or numb and empty) but now as one feeling now comes up, more just seem to follow and with it a lot of tears sometimes! This can be very difficult at times but feelings don't kill you. I'm feeling more clear headed that I have in years, less impulsive, less reactive, less attached, less empty and alone. People around me are noticing changes. I feel like I'm more grounded, I haven't felt like drinking alcohol, I haven't felt like binge eating. I'm only at the start of this journey but I finally feel hopeful. Like I'm at the entrance of a tunnel that somewhere far off in the distance there is actually light at the end, rather than it being complete darkness. My only advice is trust the process and don't hold back however much it hurts and however difficult it might feel. Don't even think about it - book a session with Tej. ”

“Understanding, kind and respectful. Anne asks the right questions to help me understand and gain perspective of my emotions. Really helpful; I highly recommend her. ”
