Women's Consortium Avis 30

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Caroline for the incredible support she gave me during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I was going through a very hard time after a traumatic relationship experience, and it felt overwhelming. As a psychologist, Caroline supported me with great patience, understanding, and genuine care.

She helped me see my own strength when I couldn’t see it myself. Through her encouragement and guidance, I slowly began to believe in myself again. She helped me rebuild my confidence and reminded me that I deserve to live a happy and peaceful life.

Caroline also went above and beyond to support me in practical ways. She did a lot of research and helped me find helpful contacts for housing and different organisations that could support me. This made a huge difference and helped me feel less alone during such a difficult time.

Thanks to Caroline, I found the strength to move forward, heal, and start building a happier life. Her kindness, dedication, and compassion truly made a lasting impact on me, and I will always be deeply grateful for her support.

I found the EMDR therapy Ambrose Koryang performed to be of enormous benefit in allowing me to start to process the trauma I suffered in a more rational manner. I feel the treatment has been life-changing and perhaps life-saving in helping me to start to move forward in my recovery. A truly fantastic therapist and organisation.

Felt most comfortable and empowered during my first contact with WC...

Helped me with unresolved trauma in a short space of time and had left me with techniques that I can continue to use over time to gain independence with understanding and what to do with my feeling and thoughts. Service was warm and friendly, knew what I required and delivered it swiftly. Was very happy to hear that number of sessions was adapted around me as an individual. Overall therapist was honest and kind, great at communicating what I needed and how to achieve that in the time I was given.

Caring and dedicated tutor. I highly recommend joining - I’ve noticed an improvement in my flexibility. No excuse not to come along - I was even sent a yoga mat. Thank you so much.

I had a great experience doing CBT with Iqra. Having done therapy before through a different source, the difference was obvious and I really felt listened and catered to for what I was struggling with.

I had come in with a prior understanding of why I think the way that I do, so she adapted to focus on how I can become better equipped to live alongside my issues as I had asked her to.

I am very grateful for her hard work, and chatting to her always felt very worthwhile :)

I did have some admin issues; I didn't receive any e-mails prior to our sessions and my triage session was attended by someone else(?). This meant my therapist had incorrect information going in, but it did not meaningfully affect my experience overall.

I am immensely grateful for the outstanding legal services provided by the Women's Consortium. The organization’s long-standing operation is a testament to their unparalleled expertise, professionalism, and commitment to supporting the community.

Having utilized their Legal Clinic services for several years, I can confidently say that they have played a pivotal role in preparing and enhancing my business skills as a private practitioner and counselor. Their tailored approach and in-depth understanding of legal frameworks have not only addressed my needs but have also empowered me to grow in my professional journey.

What sets the Women's Consortium apart is their exceptional dedication to clients. Unlike many other services, they prioritize creating a space where you feel truly heard, respected, and acknowledged. Their team goes above and beyond by offering guidance that is both practical and educational, making complex legal matters accessible and comprehensible.

In my experience, the quality of their service surpasses even that of traditional solicitors or legal advisors. The Legal Clinic at the Women's Consortium is precisely what our community needs – a resource that blends expertise with empathy and empowerment.

I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable, high-quality legal support. Their commitment to excellence and genuine care for their clients make them an invaluable asset to the community.

I came to therapy with iqra after going though PTSD and Anxiety, she let me speak about everything I went through and listened so well. She gave me somethings to help with my thoughts and feelings by the end of my sessions I feel so much better my whole thought process is very different now I don't have feelings of self doubt or feeling stressed and low, I have alot more motivation to want to get up and achieve things I want to achieve in my life without feeling held back and feel so much more positive thank you so much Iqra would definitely be my go to person if I needed therapy again thanks again.

I was referred by my GP to Women Consortium. At first I was hesitant but after meeting Iqra it was the best decision ever. Iqra is kind, caring and patient. She made me feel comfortable around her in our sessions and I did not feel judged. Iqra has helped me a lot to get to the to stage where I am at now and I am really grateful for her support. I would have never thought Iqra was a trainee, she is so great in her work and professional.

Amazing counsellor experience. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better as a counsellor and person that could have been provided to me from Women’s Consortium other than Jess B. Who has really helped me and guided me in so many ways and gave me tools and techniques I can use to tackle many struggles. Highly recommend!!! One to one, personal, understanding and empathetic people , very trusting and honest. Definitely consider if struggling with mental health.

I worked with Iqra Qasim for CBT to challenge my social anxiety and low self-esteem. She was amazing from start to finish and never felt like I was working with a trainee. She helped me through working on real vs. hypothetical thoughts and I now feel more equipped to deal with my emotions in the future. She was kind, sensitive and helpful every step of the way.

Before CBT, I often felt a victim of my anxiety and felt that I’d never be able to escape it. I was constantly overwhelmed and struggled to navigate my own thoughts and emotions. I got referred to Womens Consortium by my GP, and had 12 weeks of CBT with Iqra.

Iqra really helped me understand and learn how to control those feelings within our sessions and with the exercises I was given to do. There were many eureka moments throughout my treatment, with the interactivity and homework tasks I was able to take these lessons into real life and really make a change. It really helped having someone who was as empathetic and relatable as her take me through this, it made therapy fun and engaging, not the daunting or even scary thing I thought it would be.

I couldn’t recommend CBT and Iqra enough, it never felt like she was a trainee, she always had a great balance of professionalism and personality. Thank you!

I have had 12 weeks of CBT with Iqra qasim from living consortium . At the beginning of my journey I was overwhelmed all of my emotions was uncontrollable I often cried and got very stressed in situations, as each week passed I become more aware of myself from the support and guidance from the tasks I was set. I was challenged in a positive way to respond to my actions and thoughts how I have never before.
Iqra is patient, understanding and such a lovely human who really made me feel heard and listened to everything I had to say without judgement. I am now on a journey to put all the pieces together what I have learnt and I am feeling positive towards the change that this therapy is making on my life.

I had my 8 session with Maryam and they were extremely helpful. I felt like I improved very quickly with her advice and will definitely be using the techniques discussed through my life after.

I had 8 sessions with mariyam we spoke about everything and it has helped me, I'd recommend this service to anyone

I had 10 weeks therapy with ange and it was a excellent experience for my ptsd I would recommend this service to everyone

I recently had the privilege of working with Mariyam as my mental health counsellor, and I am extremely grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life. From our very first session, Mariyam established a safe and supportive environment that made it easy for me to share my thoughts and feelings.
Mariyam’s empathy and genuine care are immediately apparent. She listens attentively, asks insightful questions, and provides thoughtful feedback that helped me understand and navigate my challenges more effectively. Her compassionate approach made me feel heard and understood, which was incredibly comforting.
Thanks to Mariyam, I have seen a substantial improvement in my mental health and feel better equipped to handle future challenges. Her guidance and support have been invaluable, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled mental health counsellor. Mariyam has truly made a lasting positive impact on my well-being.

We did 20 sessions of marriage counselling with Mariyam. It was educational and enlightening and we week by week we were making sufficient progress. We both felt heard and tried several exercises to make improvements. Mariyam was relatable and considerate and tried to guide us through our issues and emotions. I would recommend Mariyam to anyone that would like to try marriage counselling.

I had a great experience and made learn a lot by myself to help improve myself. I would highly recommend 10/10

Had a series of counselling session with Mariam and she was so helpful and reassuring. Each session I felt a huge relief and had plans on how to move forward. Mariam communicated and supported me through every step of the way. I would recommend anyone to join up knowing your in the greatest of hands.
