Alpa’s approach and the EMDR therapy have been instrumental in helping me overcome the emotional impact of the trauma my family and I experienced. It has taught me to pause, take a breath, and feel more in control before addressing my emotions. I’ve learnt how to manage my feelings of helplessness, anxiety and upset by focusing on what I can do in the moment.

By the end of the EMDR therapy, I felt more in control and now have a clear plan in place for facing challenges on a daily basis. I’m now in a better place and am no longer deeply affected by the trauma of the past.

Working with Alpa helped me to rationalise my anxieties and gain much greater clarity. She supported me in believing in myself, building confidence, and understanding my values more deeply. She helped me to challenge irrational beliefs that had been weighing me down for a long time. EMDR, in particular, enabled me to process past experiences in a far more positive way and lifted a significant burden from my life. Since working with Alpa, I have gained confidence and have been far more successful in my professional and personal life. Alpa is a warm, caring, and genuinely passionate therapist, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking support.

Alpa’s approach with EMDR was incredibly effective and made a real difference for me. By the end of the therapy, the issues that once felt overwhelming were far less intense and much easier to think about and manage.

What really stood out was Alpa’s ability to draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor them to what I needed. Her depth of experience and calm, supportive style helped me not only during the sessions but also in my day-to-day life. I still use many of the tools and insights we worked on and they continue to help me manage my emotions with more ease and confidence.

I would highly recommend Alpa to anyone considering EMDR or therapy more broadly

Alpa showed me how to deal with my emotional disturbances through EMDR. At the end of treatment I feel free from my trapped feelings that I had lived with most of my life. I continue to visit my safe space daily and feel I can cope with anything that challenges me. I highly recommend Alpa.

EMDR with Alpa really helpful me to overcome a specific painful memory that I hadn’t realised was impacting me a year on. I went to Alpa for broader support, and she identified that a particular memory had really taken hold. Through EMDR I was able to explore it, see it in a new light and let go of the narrative that was holding me back. I’m hugely grateful for Alpa’s warmth, expertise and the safe space she created for me.

I went from a very depressed people pleaser to someone who could pull herself out of the darkness, put herself first and not bend to others needs and opinions just to make everyone in the room (or in my life) comfortable BUT me. I found my voice again. It's been one of my life's great gifts and working with Alpa is what got me there. Her warmth, wisdom and kindness while telling me exactly what I needed to hear brought me to where I am today and I am forever grateful

I wasn’t where I wanted to be in life. I was stuck and I couldn’t figure out how to move on, so I decided to try CBT. Alpa was amazing. She clearly explained each step of the CBT process and broke down the various components into bite-size, understandable concepts. I learned how to diffuse my thoughts and use controlled breathing to lower anxiety. At first I felt apprehensive, but as Alpa worked with me I felt happy and then excited to use these techniques. Since our sessions ended, I have been more calm and focused. I don’t feel stuck anymore, and I feel like I have the tools I need to move on to the next step in my life.

Alpa offers therapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment. I now feel better equipped to respond and handle challenges, conflicts and curve balls life throws my way.

I found CBT sessions with Alpa incredibly helpful. I feel less anxious now and better equipped to deal with my stressful and demanding job.

Alpa has helped me realise that it's better to live in the present, and not let the past take control of you. With her CBT, I have learnt that there is always a chance to make a positive change and have more faith in myself, which is something I never even thought was possible until I started my sessions with Alpa. Never have I felt so comfortable and relaxed to open up to someone about my hardships. Now, every time I am faced with a hurdle, I will use what Alpa has shown me for the rest of my life. I can now confidently say that I can handle my anxiety using her methods, and for that I am so utterly grateful. I have been taught how to live without letting anxiety control me. I have grown immensely compared to when I walked into my first session, and Alpa has shown me that I should be very proud of myself for what I have gone through, and how I have overcome it

Having done CBT with Alpa, I feel like a different person. I feel much calmer and positive, ready to deal with life’s’ challenges.

Before I stared CBT with Alpa, I didn’t know what it was like to live without anxiety. This therapy has shown me a different way to live and it’s so simple.

I know that Alpa is committed to EMDR therapy and she does it in an extraordinary manner. She is also open to feedback and to personalise the method to work best for the individual. While I found it helpful that she cared about the feedback from me, sometimes I wish I had known earlier that she was still working towards her qualifications. Other times I feel that it is better that I didn’t know as I would have been reluctant to try the method. I believe that we both learned a lot and found that EMDR can be very difficult for someone with ADHD, but we worked to find the way that it benefited me the most.
After suspending the therapy about 4 months ago, I still actively use the tools I learned from Alpa and I still think of her voice or listen to her YouTube meditation exercises when I feel that my mental health needs a boost. Not only will I be back to Alpa, but I will also recommend her and her techniques to people who might need therapy. I am very happy to have learnt that labels can be taken off and healing is possible, but also that therapy is not only a tool to work through problems but also a tool that aids personal growth. Thank you, Alpa.

CBT declutters my mind and helps me think more rationally, I no longer feel overwhelmed by anxiety and am incredibly excited about the future. I highly recommend Alpa.

Through MCBT, Alpa has shown me how I can respond to the difficult situations in my life rather than to react to them.

MCBT has helped me see things as they are rather than be clouded by my thoughts. Thank you Alpa.

Alpa has taught me some really helpful relaxation techniques to help manage my exam stress, something I will surely remember to use in the future.

I undertook a dozen or so sessions with Alpa at a difficult juncture in my life in 2020 where a number of issues coincided to create a great deal of stress: my husband quit his job unexpectedly due to stress, my brother was treated for a stage 4 cancer, I have had long term caring duties for family members that felt overwhelming, two grown up children with their own issues and a full time job, plus cardiac problems.

Working through these issues during the pandemic with Alpa was so helpful. She supported me in disentangling the diverse threads of stress and tackling them through techniques that proved to be useful in helping me cope, albeit over time and much learning and relearning. She introduced me to some very useful tools. Its not easy to change one’s behaviour – to learn to respond to situations rather than to react impetuously. But after these sessions, I have some techniques at my finger tips to help me raise my tolerance levels about things I can do nothing about and focus on my own health and well-being and let go. Thank you Alpa
