"It feels like I’m finally getting my life back"

About: Ealing Talking Therapies

(as the patient),

I came to therapy at a really low point in my life. I had been diagnosed with clinical depression and was on the highest dose of antidepressant medication prescribed by my GP. On top of that, I had a negative experience with a previous therapist that left me feeling disillusioned and sceptical about whether therapy could actually help. I was hesitant to try again, but I’m so grateful I took that step — because working with Yohani has truly changed my life.

From our very first session, Yohani created a safe, calm, and supportive environment where I felt genuinely heard and understood. She never rushed me or made assumptions — instead, she met me exactly where I was and guided me gently through the process. I immediately noticed the difference in her approach: thoughtful, collaborative, and deeply compassionate.

Her use of CBT has been incredibly effective for me. Yohani helped me unpack and reframe the negative thought patterns that had been keeping me stuck for so long. She gave me practical tools that I could apply in my daily life, and over time I started noticing real shifts — not just in my mindset, but in my overall well-being.

One of the most significant outcomes of our work together is that, with Yohani’s support and guidance, I’ve made so much progress that my GP has now reduced my antidepressant dosage by half. That’s something I never thought would be possible when I first started therapy. It feels like I’m finally getting my life back — and I credit a huge part of that to Yohani.

I can’t recommend her enough. If you're looking for a therapist who is not only skilled and knowledgeable but also truly cares, Yohani is someone you can trust. She has helped me rebuild my confidence, manage my depression in a healthier way, and regain a sense of hope that I thought I had lost.
