Testimonials

Therapy was a practice I didn’t really have much faith in and didn’t see as useful for many years. However, since receiving sessions from Raj I have noticed a massive change in my life. Needless to say my opinions on counselling and mental health have changed. I know now I can come back to Raj when I need it and couldn’t recommend her enough to those seeking support.

Counselling with Raj, 2021

I had my doubts and fear toward the idea of speaking about my inner concerns and secret pain with a person I’d never met. The way I saw my choices were these two, I continue to suffer emotionally and in isolation or I reach out. I am fortunate to say I reached out. The person who listened & guided me through the sessions represents a high standard of unconditional positive regard. I feel a great deal of freedom and liberation from the mental prison I was in. I found that a complete stranger was the best person to guide me out of my despair.

Counselling with Sahebene, 2021

Allowing me to see things from a different perspective and always giving me the ability to see the positives in a negative. Felt listened to and challenged when needed.

Counselling with Sahebene, 2021

I have learnt so much about myself, life, and other aspects. Every session was always insightful, and I will continue to learn and apply to my life. By understanding anxiety, I now get the reasons as to why I feel that emotion and not be so negative but rather compassionate and to challenge it

Counselling with Sahebene, 2021

The sessions were so insightful – always learnt something new every session. It empowered me to grow and step outside my comfort zone.

Counselling with Sahebene, 2021

I started my counselling with Raj at a very turbulent time in my life. But when I met Raj it was like God had sent an angel to aid me in my struggles. We started counselling and worked on various methods of counselling from CBT to general talking therapy. Raj, through these methods, helped me realise that every emotion I was feeling was a product of my mind’s perception. Although certain things in my life are not great, my mindset is strong and I am much more able to understand, reflect and deal with life in a more positive and constructive manner. I would honestly recommend Raj, she is one of the reasons I am still breathing today

My counsellor has helped me tremendously and has enabled me to work through a lot.

At the end of the sessions, I felt focused and knew what I need to do to move forward.

Counselling with Sahebene, 2020

Over 4 sessions with Raj my life has been transformed. She has given me a number of ways of looking at my life in order to move forward. I have listened and acted on her advice. I have now started a new road journey with the tools she has given me, with the option of using roadside assistance phone boxes if and when needed. I’d definitely recommend Raj as a counsellor and will contact her again if I need too.

She has excellent knowledge in theory and always found ways to connect them to me. after the many counsellors I have had, she is literally the best.

Raj is really understanding and non-judgemental and really works with you to try to identify the root of anxiety.
