“Review on HOUSAM EBRAHIM Systemic Psychotherapist, CBT And Motivational Interviewing Specialist, DBT And Counselling Psychologist. In the period from June to September 2023 Patient: Boy, 9 years old. Diagnosis - complex tics. He does not go to school because he periodically loses his ability to move, and speak, and has difficulty breathing. Housam has excellent communication skills to manage relationships with children and family. He deeply understands the child's needs and takes a keen interest in their hobbies and preferences. His communication is professional yet tailored in a way that resonates with the child, making them feel comfortable and understood. Housam's patience and attentive listening during the child's conversations are commendable. One of Housam's standout qualities is his ability to handle uncertainty. In our son's case, the medical team (CAMHS) had doubts about the established diagnosis, leading to uncertainty during therapy, and we still have not received a diagnosis or any help these past 2 years. It was crucial for us that Housam didn't confine himself to a fixed mindset. Instead, he embraced the challenge and found innovative solutions to our son's issues. His approach and adaptability made us feel like individuals rather than patients within a rigid system. Dealing with complex emotions within a family of five individuals, each with unique character and emotional dynamics is not easy. In family therapy, Housam led conversations, actively listened to our concerns, and provided thoughtful answers. His composure, calm demeanour, and unwavering professionalism have kept our emotionally charged family session harmonious and productive. He tailored tasks and assignments to my son's abilities and interests, ensuring they were engaging and effective. After each therapy session, we received clear and understandable instructions for homework, involving both parents in the son's treatment plan. This holistic approach helped us support our son's progress seamlessly within our family's daily routine. We've successfully reached our objective -our son has happily returned to school, where he's not only smiling but also forging new friendships with his peers.”

“Andrea was really great. I had seen two therapists before her which didn’t work out to try and treat anxiety, mainly health anxiety. She really understands therapy and has excellent theoretical knowledge. She works around your personal situation and is just comforting to work with!”

“My ADHD diagnosis and therapy sessions were conducted efficiently and with a great amount of understanding of my situation and experiences. My review sessions with Dr Daniela Herescu have been thorough, and she has provided lots of valuable guidance and insight. She has taken care to ensure I am being prescribed the appropriate medication and dosage, whilst requests for prescriptions and doctor’s letters for taking medication abroad are completed promptly.”

“I had four Psychiatry referrals in the NHS, being high functioning with a mental health condition it was like I was invisible. I knew my treatment wasn't able to progress as my brain wasn't stable enough to engage, the NHS decided there was nothing present and kept denying referrals from my GP. After five years I found Dr. Daniela Herescu and was able to get access to the correct medication as well as one that is licensed for my Conditions. Not having the right brain chemistry severely delayed my recovery and I never thought I was going to get out of my disorder. I was also against medication but I now know how pivotal it was to my recovery, something which is finally happening. I got to a point where I thought this would never end and if you've been chasing your tail I couldn't recommend this clinic enough. Brain chemistry correction is so important for you to engage in therapy and support a long term plan for recovery. I'm so greatful and Dr. Daniela Herescu is so knowledgeable, validating, supportive and kind. I needed to find someone who understands the complexities of mental health and how to help me, finally move forward. I've written this review as I really wish it will help you too! Best of Luck.”

“My time with the Private Therapy Clinic and Andrea has been great, not purely in the sense of receiving a service but it has also been great in my life. Therapy is not an easy journey, it requires you to dig up (at times ugly) truths about yourself. It can be a very daunting task, one that many are fearful of taking. I was unsure of whether therapy would benefit me and therefore was uncertian on whether I should even take the first step. However, I am very happy that I did. Andrea has helped me bounce back after going through life's struggles. I can confidently say that she has changed my life for the better. She has an expert knowledge of CBT practices and by attending her sessions, you can tell that she is very qualified in her line of work. Above all, Andrea has fantastic client management - she has handled all our sessions with professionalism and most imprtantly, compasion. My sessions with Andrea have helped me not only through the wellness exercises she teaches me, but also being able to speak to someone who treats me with kindness and respect. Andrea is a people-first psychologist, her patience and understanding nature is what has brought me back to her sessions time and time again. Andrea is a great psychologist, and I have no reservations recommending her to anyone. She is very qualified at what she does. She has played a very pivotal part in my journey towards being a better person. I would not have stayed with her for nearly 2 years if all of these were not true. Thank you, Andrea.”

“It was almost like a miracle to see how Mr. Housam Ebrahim was able to build rapport with our 5-year-old daughter and make her feel comfortable enough to open up about her traumatic experience. Mr. Ebrahim's professionalism, understanding, and supportive nature allowed us to feel heard and understood. His experience enabled us to better support our daughter and ourselves. We will forever remain thankful. Thank you.”

“Dr Herescu has literally been a life saver. I have only been receiving psychiatric support from her for just over a month now. In this time she has helped me feel supported, heard, and helped me in a way I feel is above and beyond with understanding my diagnosis’, medications, therapy, and what I felt was emergency situations regarding my mental health. Dr Leticia from the psychologist department has been extremely helpful with my diagnosis’ in completing my assessment, giving advise and knowledge for my next steps and what the potential outcomes of those steps could be. The entire team at Private Therapy Clinic are incredibly supportive and are knowledgeable. The communication of the administrative team (Ed, Mjedea, Lizi) is always friendly and within the stated time and very professional. I will be continuing to use PTC for my ongoing mental health needs. I want to say to anyone looking to use PTC that this team make it worth the money, regardless of your personal circumstances!”
