Testimonials
“I started therapy in the hope that Kay would tell me what to do. Tell me how to save my relationship. Tell me how to cope with my generalised anxiety. And tell me how to be present and live in the moment. I soon realised that being told what to do didn't make for good therapy. Instead, Kay did so much more for me by guiding me to figure out the answers I was so desperately looking for on my own. This has meant that as well as leaving therapy with the answers I was looking for, I’ve also left therapy with a level of self awareness I didn’t think was even possible. It is this self awareness which has enabled me to achieve my goals and which will allow me to live the happier, calmer, and more grounded life I was so desperately seeking. I might have left the ‘therapy room’, but Kay's support, profound insight and extraordinary psychological understanding, will continue to support me for the rest of my adult life. I can never thank her enough.”
“Throughout our therapy Kay maintained a delicate balance of remaining clinical and professional whilst also warm and understanding. Over the course of our six month contract we made great progress working together on my phobia. She pushed me to dig deep and really confront my fears at a comfortable pace and in a safe way. She equipped me with effective tools to move forward by myself and as a result of our therapy I feel empowered and liberated to embrace the new and improved version of myself.”
“For a very long time I felt lost in myself and my relationships. Turning to ways of escaping my emotions was how I had learnt to be, which was keeping me stuck. Kay helped me to work through my struggles that had been unprocessed for such a long time. She made me feel comfortable and safe to open up, whilst challenging me to face my thoughts and feelings and move forward to a better place. Thank you, Kay.”
“Reaching out to Kay was one of the best things I’ve ever done. I had been suffering with low self esteem and anxiety for so many years. I have found the confidence I was lacking in life and with relationships, having gone to therapy with Kay.”
“I have recently undertaken a number of counselling sessions with Dalvinder Sawali. When I had reached out to her I was in a very troubled, anxious and conflicting state of mind. I am a mature person, happily married with a satisfying family life along with very supportive wife and children. But there had been unfortunate traumatic events in my early childhood and subsequent disappointments in my career due to betrayals by my closest relatives that had led to loss of confidence in myself, anxiety disorder and periodic depressive state of mind. I had CBT and counselling before but I found Dalvinder's approach towards counseling very professional, structured and empathetic i.e more than my previous counsellors. Consequently she is the first counselor with whom I felt confident enough to discuss my childhood traumatic experience which I feel is the root cause of my subsequent mental agony. I now feel much more relieved and confident to move forward.”
“I'm so glad that I got in touch with Kay when I was going through a difficult break-up. She gently guided me towards the realisation that I've been struggling with low self-worth for a long time, and together we worked on where this stems from and what tools I can use to overcome it. I looked forward to our sessions every week because I felt so safe and heard in her office, and I always learned something valuable. I am so much stronger and more loving of myself because of our sessions, and with the insights I gained from therapy my future looks happier and more fulfilling.”
“Kay was such a great listener with compassion and empathy. I felt the sessions really helped me to gain insights about my difficult behavioural patterns in my relationship, and facilitated me to overcome anxiety and depression. I am now in a much happier place in my marriage.”
“Dear Dalvinder, now that we have reached the end of our sessions together, I remember what led me to you. I’m incredibly glad that I made that difficult step to reach out because my journey with you has been so transformative. I would not have believed back then, that I would be where I am now. Somehow through your patient listening, challenging and subtle guidance, I’ve been able to find myself again. I’m much more confident in myself, and I have free flowing speech which catches me by surprise even now, ha! Much more importantly I now see my own path to future growth whereas before, I saw myself caged. I do believe that life circumstances may bring me back to you in the future, but in case they don’t, I can’t thank you enough for all that you have done to help me. You’ve been such an amazing support, and all your clients are so lucky to have you.”
