Age 25 – 35 Depression CBT, Workplace Bullying, Low Confidence

During my last series of CBT sessions (through the services of the NHS) I was advised to research and partake in a course of psychotherapy. Due to work commitments, I was only able to seek help privately and was recommended the services of Westminster Psychotherapy Ltd. My mental health prior to (and during the beginning stages of) therapy was poor. The effects were having a detrimental effect on my general well-being. Working with Leona has been (and continues to be) a refreshing experience. ...

Age 35 – 45 Conflict in Couple, Stress Management, Separation

Ongoing conflict with a partner. Felt an urgent need for new ways of dealing with this problem. Generally very reassuring, and also quite hard work at times as I started seeing many things in a new light, while I also re-claimed some views and positions that the ongoing conflict had previously left me confused about. I was optimistic from the start, but the sessions have been even more helpful than expected, and I have made great progress in many aspects. Conflict situations with my partn...

Age 35 – 45 Work Stress, Daily Pressures, Insomnia

I needed someone to talk to because of daily pressures of work and relationships. Because I was able to release myself emotionally through the sessions, I felt less weighed down mentally. Leona provides a nurturing and caring environment. I feel like I can discuss issues that are important to me without being judged. Indeed, she encourages me to talk through what I’m feeling. At the same time, we are comfortable enough in working together that she can make me see other points of view as we...

Age 25 – 35 Workplace Bullying, Exhaustion, Depression

I self-referred to Leona as I was not myself, I was emotional, stressed and depressed bought on by the environment in my workplace. I felt as if I was in a general state of anxiousness that would not go away and felt that I was useless at a job I would normally perceive myself to be successful at. I had come to a point that I was on leave from my job as I was having panic attacks about going to the office, when I was there I felt aggressive towards co-workers and I was utterly exhausted. Aro...

Age 45 – 55 Domestic Violence, Support with Separation and Divorce

I am delighted to add my review on Westminster Psychotherapy.  I had a bad experience during my marriage due to domestic violence and I had lost my confidence, I had stress and anxiety and I did not know what direction to take. I decided to see a psychologist as my health started to be affected and I self-referred to Leona. I found Leona to be extremely supportive and she understood me, she was transparent and she helped me overcome all of my difficulties during my divorce, she is profession...

Age 10 – 20 School Bullying, Depression, Suicidal Thoughts, Self-harming, Anxiety,Loss of Confidence

My mother found Leona’s website when she noticed my strange behaviour. I almost tried to commit suicide before I came to see Leona, I did not tell anyone because I felt like no one would understand. My GP sent me to publicly funded youth therapist and it did not work because they asked me questions without giving any advice. I suffered from anxiety and depression, I had no one and thankfully my mom found Leona and I am glad because she understands and is very helpful. My first impression of ...
