Relationship Issues

LGBTQ+ Issues

Trauma

My experience with the practice has been excellent from the outset. Arranging an appointment was straightforward, and when I first made an enquiry, someone got back to me quickly to offer help. While you may need to wait until the therapist is available to contact you directly, which can sometimes take a day, they respond thoughtfully and genuinely take the time to help.

The overall level of professionalism has been outstanding. Communication has been clear, the process has been smooth, and I have felt well supported throughout. A very positive experience with a practice that clearly takes its service seriously.

I went to Dr Bhavna for help with some relationship issues, and I’m really glad I did. Her Six Human Needs technique helped me understand myself and others better, and it has really helped me improve my relationships. I feel much clearer and more confident now. I would definitely recommend her.

Health Assessments

This is a friendly family clinic. Due to an appointment mix up, I did have to wait a long time. 
Once I got to see the doctor, the service was excellent. 
I felt that I was thoroughly checked, treated very respectfully and received a very high standard of health care.

Eating Disorders

Family Therapy

Lauren's approach of tough love was exactly what I needed to find the strength within myself to recovery from my ED. Without her support, but also her pushes towards accountability, I never would have been able to become the woman I am today. Forever grateful & will always be recommending her as a therapist! Her heart is in the right place.

Solution Focused Therapy

Shame & Self-Worth

Vanessa has the most incisive mind and is a consummate professional.

She listens and analyses what is or has gone wrong  with the family dynamic without laying any blame to any party.

Her kind and natural way of speaking to a patient encourages truth and honesty and clarity.

Within two sessions relations that had been toxic and unbearable had eased and within just two more the relationship was repairing so well that for the first time in over 15 years we now have a loving and trusting relationship. 

I have now realised I was still treating my nearly 40 year old son as my child, which of course he was but he needed to feel that he was an adult. I was quite oblivious to how he felt until Vanessa gently and kindly talked me through the issues.

Her insight is uncanny and her advice has been a ‘life saver’. 

I will continue to see her regularly even if it is just to talk as she has guided me back to happiness and my sanity.

She was recommended to me by a good friend.

Vanessa has helped like me to regain my adult children’s love which I now realise has had to change now they have a wife and family of their own.

I cannot recommend more highly Vanessa as a quite superb family therapist.

About Nelumbo 

I've been seeing Dr Alex Thomas for a couple of months now, and I can honestly say that my experience has been extremely positive.

From the beginning, Alex has created an environment where I feel comfortable, listened to and able to speak openly without feeling judged. I feel that I can express myself honestly, say what I need to say and know that I'm being heard.

One of the things I've particularly appreciated is her ability to ask thoughtful questions that encourage me to look deeper into aspects of myself and my relationships that I may not have previously considered. Whilst some of these questions can be challenging, I recognise that this is an important part of the process and ultimately what makes the sessions so valuable.

What also stands out is how attentive she is to the details of previous conversations. She remembers things I've shared, sometimes from several sessions ago, and is able to bring them back into discussions in a way that helps connect past experiences with present behaviours and patterns.

Even after a couple of months, I'm still discovering things about myself, my feelings and what I genuinely want. There are moments when further reflection brings new perspectives to light, helping both me and Alex develop a deeper understanding of my experiences and identify areas that may need further exploration.

I appreciate that therapy is a process and that understanding yourself takes time, but I feel I'm in very good hands with Alex. She's thoughtful, attentive, insightful and genuinely invested in helping me understand myself better. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who will listen, challenge them in a constructive way and help them explore things on a deeper level.
