I just completed a round of Talk Therapy here with Asta Brandes. I can't recommend her highly enough.
She offered a compassionate and thoughtful space to talk about my thoughts and offered constructive and insightful advice where appropriate.
The reception staff were always efficient and welcoming.
I opted for the cheaper sessions at £35 and feel they were definitely worth the money.

I had my teenage daughter come here and I have to say I was really disappointed. The therapist we had was inexperienced and had no clue how to help my daughter, she would come out of sessions worse than when she went in and felt like there was no hope.
The therapist we had even if qualified had no where near enough experience to deal with such a delicate situation. I feel there is a reason this place charges less than other places and that’s because they use trainees and they should make this very clear. A full and thorough profile of each of the therapists should be on the website, showing

This place uses trainees as cheap labour (and actually free labour) to run IAPT contracts for which it receives public funds. They are all about making money. And be careful about the positive reviews on here. For instance, Kelly Garrett is listed on its own website as the Clinical Director of The Awareness Centre.

Highly recommended and most professional service which consists of carefully vetted clinicians who have been helping clients with various presenting issues for many years now. The booking system is ever so easy and The Awareness Centre team are helpful, knowledgable, polite and understanding. The Awareness Centre provides high quality service in a safe, non judgemental place where confidentiality is paramount. I cannot speak more highly of them.

In summary:
- Unqualified, unprofessional therapists
- No privacy: you can hear what other clients are discussing in their sessions from reception
Awful place. After booking with one therapist and then being told the next day he was no longer available, I booked with another therapist. She called me to rearrange our session for several days later (without notifying the Awareness Centre, something I was later told was not allowed). So I then waited until the new agreed session and left work early to attend. The therapist simply did not turn up to my appointment, so I waited in reception for half

The Awareness Centre offers a fantastic opportunity for everyone to access talking therapies, from low cost for people on lower incomes through to the other end of the spectrum. Over many years, the Awareness Centre has carved out its name as a leading provider of therapeutic services in South London.
