Trauma-Informed Therapy in London

Firstly, [Maggie] many thanks for your help and support during a difficult time for me. It was incredibly valuable and I felt like significant progress was made, quickly. I’m pleased to report my new relationship is going well, and as is work.

Maggie proved to be excellent not just as a therapist but also in career guidance. The key value for me was in overcoming childhood traumas stemming from losing my father when I was a child and despite having spent collectively over a year with therapists beforehand, the breakthroughs that we achieved there were remarkable. But she also helped support me getting a pay rise!

I had therapy with Amanda for one year. I began the sessions when I was very unwell with Long Covid/ ME/CFS. Initially I didn’t even know if I would manage to talk for one hour. I remember our first session vividly, I was lay in bed crying and didn’t put the camera on. Amanda reached through to me during that call, in my darkest hour. I felt her warmth and empathy and her ability to look deeper into what was happening with me.

Fast forward a year and I’ve got my life back. I’ve just been for a run, am a Mum to my boys again and am loving life. Amanda was a huge part of my recovery. I believe that she helped to save my life. I will never forget her.

The connection between my mental health and physical health were much more entwined than I had realised. Amanda helped me to make this connection. She also helped me connect how past traumas and stressors had impacted to my decline in health. Amanda worked through past traumas with me at a pace that I was happy with. She never pushed me to go deeper into things than I felt able to do. She helped me release blame and shame from myself, by realising that certain things that had happened were not my fault.

Amanda helped me to become more confident to make the decisions that are right for my life. I was able to reflect on people pleasing qualities within myself that had lead me in directions that weren’t right for me.

Amanda showed me compassion, understanding and validation. She validated that what I had felt wasn’t wrong and that helped me enormously. She is kind, caring and so knowledgeable. I’ll hold her in my heart forever. I’m finished the sessions as I was ready to get on with my life. This just happened naturally. Thank you to KlearMinds for taking such care in matching me with the right therapist for me.

I was in a toxic relationship while suffering from PTSD, which made it harder for me to keep the symptoms under control, to the point I found myself unable to cope with daily responsibilities at work and at home. When I went to Maggie for help, I desperately needed for someone to pull me out of the black hole I had found myself in. One step at a time, we went through my background and through all the experiences that (some of which I hadn’t realized) had brought me to the point I was at. Maggie helped me regain control of my life by coming to terms with the past, forgiving myself and others, and letting go of all the destructive thoughts in my head. Maggie helped me overcome PTSD, reconnect with myself and others, overcome my sense of helplessness, appreciate myself more and gain strength and confidence to walk away from the toxic relationship I was in. Overall, Maggie turned my life around and I will be forever grateful for all of her help.

I came to Maggie not at a point of crisis but at a time when I felt I needed to take stock of where I was in life and to understand and change negative patterns of behaviour after years of struggling with issues related to a traumatic event earlier in life.

I’m so glad I did. Maggie helped me investigate earlier life experiences and dissect the way my life choices and decisions had been affected by them. This allowed me to realise why I had been repeatedly making unhelpful life decisions and not moving forward in the way I wished to.

After a period of working with Maggie I genuinely felt a huge shift take place. I now look at and experience situations, relationships and emotions from a different perspective and feel emboldened to move forward with more confidence and positivity. It’s been a personal revelation for which I’ll always be grateful.

I didn’t have any expectations of what therapy could do for me. I went to Maggie because I knew that my lifestyle and general approach to life needed to be changed and that I needed to discuss an extremely distressing experience which had happened to me with a trained professional.

I liked Maggie’s approach, and she made me feel safe and capable of dealing with the issues which I needed and wanted to explore. Over the course of a year I learnt a lot about myself, my reactions to situations and the triggers to those reactions. In particular I started to recognise all of the things which I could change to make my life better.

I now have the tools to be able to deal with any issues and/or problems that may arise. I have made a number of changes to my life some small and some big and all of the areas of my life that I wanted to change (and even those I didn’t know at time needed changing) have changed for the better. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Maggie and the results speak for themselves.

I found Amanda at a time when I felt really low. I’d been affected by bereavement, trauma, a family member discovered cancer and my child developed a chronic health condition all in a short space of time. It all just felt like too much. On the surface I was coping with the day to day, but I was tearful, incredibly anxious, traumatised and wasn’t enjoying life as much as I should. Amanda is warm, kind, intelligent and patient. Through our sessions I felt supported, gained awareness of why I felt the way I did, got perspective on what had happened and developed coping strategies.

I couldn’t ask for more than that! Amanda was always empathetic but not afraid to ask challenging questions when necessary to help identify unhelpful thinking. I looked forward to our sessions where I felt I could be totally open and it was lovely to have a space where I could talk everything through candidly with someone I trusted. I am feeling happy and balanced and am enjoying life and can’t thank Amanda enough for helping me navigate this last year.

Working with Judy has been one of the most valuable experiences of my life.She helped me navigate several incredibly difficult periods with empathy, clarity, and practical tools that I continue to use daily. I always felt heard, never judged, and supported in a way that allowed me to make real, lasting changes. Her approach is both warm and insightful, and she has a real gift for helping you understand what’s holding you back—and how to move forward practically. I’m very grateful for our time together and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for real support and transformation.

I met with Tania at KlearMinds for 12 sessions during 2023. Trust was immediately established between us, with Tania’s warm and welcoming approach helping to make me feel comfortable from our first meeting all the way through to our final session. Tania helped navigate me through some difficult unresolved trauma from my childhood, which had been holding me back for a long time. Tania helped me look at my past through a lens of warmth, understanding and curiosity, rather than the fear, anger and shame that I had historically been doing. I can safely say that Tania’s help has changed my life, as I have finally healed those wounds which had troubled me for so long. Thank you Tania. Thank you KlearMinds. I would recommend your services without any hesitation.

I have seen Maggie for a short batch of sessions, on 4 occasions, over a period of several years. She has provided me with invaluable support through many problems I’ve needed help with, from post-natal depression and general mental health issues, to career decisions I needed an objective view on, to more recently, work/life balance conundrums and parenting struggles I’ve been facing. Without fail, each time, Maggie has been able to very quickly distil the crux of what’s likely to be at the root of the issue, and given me highly insightful and actionable advice that I can take and use, even long past attending one to one sessions.

Maggie has a great nature and manages to be highly professional while also being very sensitive to what your emotional needs might be at that time. Maggie, and the services she provides, have been absolutely transformational for me in coming to terms with childhood trauma and understanding its impact on my present, while also not allowing it to dictate my future. I cannot recommend Maggie highly enough.
