Our Reviews
I didn’t feel like an outsider, it felt like someone was listening to my issues without being put off or frightened. Coming here gave me the help I’ve needed.
My therapist was excellent at remembering things said in previous sessions. I felt like my therapist understood me and was often able to put into words the things I could not. My therapist encouraged me to do a lot of work outside of the sessions and gave many suggestions on how to do that .
The comfort and professional care that was given right from the start. The fact that everyone I interacted with at Mpower were extremely forthcoming in providing information and answering all the questions I had.
Personal connection, convenience, nonjudgmental space, genuine listening to my thoughts. .
My son loves coming here. The therapist really understands the child and his needs.
The therapist listened to me and showed me things from the other person’s perspective which is really helping me a lot in understanding and handling people. The fact that I can share anything and everything with the therapist without being judged is great.
I feel that my situation was very accurately understood and gauged. And I felt supported. I feel that there is a direction that I am heading in with regards to my therapy now and overcoming each issue constructively.
The steps that were taken to arrive at the diagnosis of the issue to be dealt with was very interesting. All the home remedies were extremely helpful and simple to follow.
I think that the people here are very kind and the whole place in general has a good vibe to it. For example the waiting isn’t very stressful. The counsellor makes you very comfortable and is very understanding .
