I had a great experience with Dania. She guided me through the complexities of my childhood traumas and memories, allowing me to gain deeper insight into myself and my triggers. Dania provided a safe and very supportive environment for me to share, and empowered me to confront and process these experiences. Thanks to her guidance, I feel way more equipped to make informed decisions for my future, and I feel a lot stronger, confident and motivated.  

  I submitted my query to Dania at the beginning of 2022 expressing that I needed help with betrayal, anxiety and child trauma. Our first session was on the 1st of April 2022 and from the moment I started with Dania she made me feel that I had a safe space to dive deep into my problems. She only encouraged me to speak about what I was comfortable with, which I found incredibly helpful considering it was my first time in therapy. One of our first discussions surrounded a situation of betrayal that I had experienced. I was able to work on self-perception and I now have a more positive opinion on myself. Dania also provided me with ways to decrease my anxiety during difficult situations, specifically teaching me how to rationalise my thoughts and emotions. I was able to discuss childhood trauma and how effects my life today as an adult. What really helped me was the advice about listening to my child-self and doing activities that would help me reconnect back to myself. My feelings were validated and I got the answers to questions that I always had. Overall, I am grateful that I took the leap to start therapy with Dania as it had such a positive effect on my day-to-day life.  

  I have worked with Dania for roughly 3 years regarding my anxiety and low self esteem. I initially contacted Dania regarding the anxiety I had regarding psychosexual issues. Dania was really helpful in providing me with techniques I could use to help ease my anxiety around this issue. We also discussed my underlying anxiety with work and family and used talk therapy combined with CBT to identify my triggers and how best to limit the physical and emotional reactions I have to these. When my father passed away unexpectedly, Dania really helped me to come to terms with my loss and helped me to develop strategies to help me grieve and navigate the new normal. During this time, I also experience the breakdown of my relationship with a close family member which was very difficult. Talking with Dania really helped me to see where the breaks in our relationship were and how I could rectify this when the time came. I found working Dania over the past few years has really helped me to pulled a repertoire of strategies I can use to help deal with my triggers and anxiety. She is a great listener, who uses a combination of talk therapy and CBT to understand the core issue and how best to handle this. I would highly recommend Dania.  

  Dania, has helped me tremendously over the past few years, and continues to do so. The approach was just the correct balance of empathy and education, utilising a number of techniques from ‘inner child’ analysis and strategies to ‘cognitive behavioural therapy’. From my description you can probably tell I have had therapy before. However as a male of African, Carribean origin, until Dania I had never really got to the crux of what was going on in my head. I am truly grateful of real the techniques and support from Dania and would absolutely recommend her for her skills, knowledge and manner. Thank you Dania.  

  After nearly 10 years together, the bumps and niggles acquired along the way were taking their toll on our relationship. We needed a review of the traumas inside our union, and some dedicated time to understand ourselves better, whilst listening to what each other needed and wanted. Dania is a consummate psychologist and professional, who helped us resolve some of the important grievances that we had, and supported us to realise that a lot of our clashes, arguments and flashpoints were to do with unsolved childhood trauma and a projection of childish behaviours and thought processes; detrimental in adult life. With better understanding, thought and behaviour techniques, implemented and taught by Dania, we felt that we were able to redefine our relationship and work better together in maintaining a loving and peaceful environment. We couldn't recommend Dania highly enough - especially, for those that are in a biracial relationship.  

  I have worked with Dania for about a year and would 100% recommend her. I initially contacted her as I had some relationships anxiety and wanted to understand it. Not only did Dania helped me understand the causes of it, but she also helped me found ways for me to overcome it on my own. During our sessions, I felt listened, heard and understood. I felt like we were digging into my past together and my present also as she helped me understand why I would react/feel a certain way in specific situations. This was an eye-opening process and now that I have ended therapy few weeks ago, I feel confident saying that Dania has given me the tools to continue healing on my own.  

  Dania is very validating and non-judgemental. I feel comfortable talking to her about my life, and she listens attentively. I feel relieved and more in control of my life when I see Dania regularly.  

  Working with Dania was a positive and refreshing experience. I'm a talker and I've had a lot of counselling in the past: nonetheless, Dania understood all this and came at our sessions with freshness. She really took herself out of the picture and mentalized my situation very well which made me feel she wanted the best for me. When needed, she challenged me to consider the necessary steps for growth which was beneficial to my journey. She gave me an honest outlook to my situations and even when I was really hard on myself she provided areas of progress in each situation. She provided resources to help me with my journey by letting me read helpful material and reflecting in my sessions. She had her own approach to counselling but she was also flexible and adaptable to the clients way in the session for the best outcome. Our sessions felt more like a partnership. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a counsellor with a gentle touch who’s not afraid to explore all areas with you with wisdom, experience and tact!  

  I came out of my comfort zone at the end of the pandemic by taking the decision to seek therapy. I was in a lonely place with some deep anxieties and trauma that I needed to explore. It was critical for me that I find a therapist I can relate to and that's exactly how I felt with Dania. She created that safe place where I felt comfortable to show her my vulnerability and learn more about myself. Dania has equipped me with what I need to fight daily my anxieties and trauma as a woman who grew up in an African household. Thank you so much Dania; I am forever grateful for our sessions!  

  All my sessions with Dania has been great. I feel welcomed when I come in and I am able to communicate my feelings without the fear of being heard. She is a good communicator, very patient and accommodating. She is also a wonderful therapist.
