Amazing Therapy

I’m so unbelievably glad I chose Diana Gaga as my therapist, I can’t truly put into words the difference therapy with her has made. She went above and beyond to help me in any way she could, I felt like she genuinely cared and was so understanding. I’m in disbelief with how much I have changed between now and when I started my therapy journey with her. The skills and information I have learnt have been life changing and I’ll be forever grateful

Outstanding service from Dr Julian

Outstanding service from Dr Julian. My therapist was very caring, compassionate, helpful and understanding. She took me through a healing journey which enabled me to be at peace with past demons. I was helped and supported throughout the recovery journey. I finished my time equipped with a ‘toolkit’ to help me maintain the successes we gained together.
Thank you.

I was referred to Dr Julian from the NHS and I cannot express how grateful I am for Diana Gaga who I chose to help me in therapy. She was kind and attentive towards me and she has been the best person to support me though my struggles with anxiety, depression, and trauma work. I could not recommend her enough! She asked all the right questions, made sure I understood everything and made sure she understood what I was saying by relaying it back to me and even screen shared to show me diagrams which helped me a lot. She gave accurate homework for me to try which helped as she is very knowledgeable and also recommends videos and books which can be very useful to watch/read. - thank-you so much!

Highly recommended

I was referred by the Wellbeing Service for CBT sessions with Dr Julian. Gareth Muir was so kind, knowledgeable, supportive, and most of all he was fun. He lifted my spirits each week and I continued to learn a lot and saw progress each week. I've now got a solid toolkit and resources to come back to when I need it, and a blueprint for relapse prevention. I am so grateful for the amazing service.

Superwoman Mandy McCloskey

I have just completed 20 sessions with Mandy McCloskey and I can't recommend her high enough!
She knew exactly how deal with any situation I brought to the table, with her professional and calming approach.
She sent me things to look into in between sessions and made herself available to talk to if I was struggling/low.
When someone goes through something traumatic knowing someone is there to help makes all the difference. I had this with Mandy.
I can't thank her enough.

Dr Julian is the best therapy you need…


“I can recommend Shuwana Matthew’s from Dr. Julian enough! She truly helped me overcome my anxiety and provided the tools and support I needed to regain control of my life. Her empathetic approach, professionalism, and ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space made all the difference. I always felt heard, understood, and empowered after our sessions. If you’re struggling with anxiety or any mental health challenges, Shuwana is the person to turn to. She’s absolutely incredible!”

Charlotte was a great help to me when I was feeling low with a lack of self-esteem lack of direction. As I expected, I did all the talking and Charlotte did all the listening, and I find the experience very cathartic. I believe on each session, I was reduced to tears, which I believe to be the anxiety leaching from my system. I don’t think I would have been able to go this process alone without the help of Charlotte and the service but she offered me.
Thank you for your help and forgiven me a new outlook on Life

Laura Kirk - Exceptional

Laura Kirk has been been amazing, she has been with me for around 7 months and i cannot fault her. She has helped me so so much thanks just isn't enough. I was in a dark place 7 months ago, and with her help she has helped me through my struggles and built my confidence up again to make me feel myself again. I recommend Laura 110% and she won't let you down. Thank you Laura for absolutely everything.

It is amazing.

I had my last CBT session with Shuwana Matthews at the start of September after 12 weekly sessions from the NHS talking therapies service. The therapy was absolutely amazing. The skills and techniques I learned have changed how I navigate difficult situations, and general everyday life. I am much happier and in a much better place now than I was when I started the sessions, and I am so grateful to Shuwana for her excellent support and help. I would recommend therapy to anyone, even though it’s hard it’s worth every second.

Great experience and I would recommend…Glad For The Sessions

Great experience and I would recommend therapy to and anyone. I was anxious to share but after 12 weeks of instant interaction I was comfortable to the extent where I was able to open up and share, gave me understanding of what I was going through. The biggest take away from it for me is knowing how to adjust and adapt to life after in civilian world navigating military and civil life. The health professional was awesome and over the weeks I was very comfortable and trusted her analysis and judgement towards me. Thank you for listening, it means the more than the word thank you, I am in a better place now.

When I met Laura Kirk

When I met Laura Kirk, the therapist I chose with Dr Julian, I knew instantly she was the right one for me, she helped me to feel relaxed instantly as I was so scared and didn’t know what to expect with my first ever session in my life! She helped me to understand why I felt the way I did all my life, we broke it down into bite sized pieces as there was ALOT to work through and for the first time in my life I feel free, Laura has given me my life back, I can now leave the house by myself without fear for the first time ever in 33 years! if anyone reading this is unsure of therapy please try with Laura Kirk she’s very kind and sensitive to all subjects of trauma, Thankyou again Laura.

NHS 12 week referral

I was referred by the NHS for a few problems that I had and was helped and given the tools to deal with them all the way by Mary. Such a wonderful kind lady who listened and advised but never judged. She also was a support system so I could approach other Clinics. Oh how I miss her.

I had Gareth Muir as my therapist through this system and he was amazing. Incredibly kind, supportive and helpful, he really made me come out of my shell and he has given me tools I can and will use for my entire life.

I would highly recommend contacting this service if you are ever having issues with anxiety or depression, they are wonderful and so helpful.

The best therapist I've ever had

I have had CBT in the past, but nothing as helpful, transformative, and encouraging as the experience I had with my therapist. Diana Gaga is nothing short of a wonderful listener, always knowing what to say, how to push me and help me to face challenges, whilst reminding me that I am safe. I cannot express just how grateful I am to her; I now feel ready to face things that come my way with an open mind and heart. Thank you thank you thank you Diana!
