Welcome to
Sereno Therapy

“When I started working with my therapist, I couldn’t seem to see the wood for the trees with my anxiety. But with her help, I have been able to work through my problems and am now in a completely different place in my mind. I am also able to tackle any problems that I come across. I could never thank her enough. She has helped me get my confidence and ‘spark’ back!”

“I had previously had therapy somewhere else but wasn’t happy to go back there. My current therapist put me at ease straight away. I have found she has given me the support I required and has worked with me on my goals. I feel I would not be in the positive position I am today without her sessions. I would definitely recommend to friends / family as someone who is approachable and impartial.”

“My therapist filled me with confidence from start to finish, something that must be quite tricky when dealing with a very anxious person. She gently took me through what GAD is, and the step by step process of treating it. The course of treatment was around 4 months, and there were some pretty hard and uncomfortable moments, but I have emerged a much happier, calmer person, and feel properly set up now for this never to get such a tight hold on me again.”

When I started therapy, I was a prisoner to anxiety, which had gradually wrapped its ivy-like tendrils more tightly around every part of me physically, and of course around my thoughts too. With my therapist’s guidance, we gently loosened and unraveled those tendrils, to release me back to being my real self. Today I feel freer, happier, less scared, and I’m laughing more than I have in years. Thank you. ”

“My therapist was excellent. She helped me a lot to overpass my worries and enjoy life again.”

“I found the therapy to be really beneficial, the skills I learned over the course have helped me greatly in overcoming many issues I had.

“Was my first time having therapy but I found it very useful on moving past my problems with Anxiety and worry. I would fully recommend this treatment to anyone looking to solve these problems. My therapist was very kind, patient and listened to all my worries and helped rationalize them to the point where I don’t really worry anymore about them anywhere near as much! Good to be back to normal!”

“Tina comes across as very friendly and non-judgmental, she helped me return from the edge of serious meltdown and has provide me with the tools and capability of managing myself moving forward, I’m very happy with the progress I've made and the massive difference between where I was in my am now.

I was sceptical at first of how effective the online session would, but it turned out to be very effective and fitted easily in with my work /home life.”

“Tina is a fantastic therapist, empathic but professional. She has changed my life and I will be forever grateful. She enabled my life to shift from a constant ‘fight or flight’ to a calmer new normal. I felt very supported on my journey of dealing with my trauma”

“Really useful experience, especially given how I was feeling. I have tried different therapy types before which didn’t achieve anything. Although I had to overcome my initial skepticism, it’s honestly been a life-changing experience and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who feels they might need help.”

“I found Tina, who manages Sereno Therapy, was instantly easy to engage with. She very quickly gained a good understanding of my issues and was able to match me with the therapist at her practice who was best suited to my case – and she did a really good job of this as my therapist has been absolutely fantastic! I have done CBT on the NHS several times before and not made any progress with my anxiety. Working with Sereno Therapy has been a very different experience. My therapist has really taken the time and trouble to understand me and my problems, and taken time to think through how theories and approaches used in therapy can be tailored to my needs and difficulties. The result has been a bespoke therapeutic approach that has been far more effective than anything that I had on the NHS. My therapist has understood that some things just don’t work for me and we have worked together to find ways around that and to adapt ideas and approaches to ways that can work for me.”

“Tina provided a very professional service and was excellent in navigating through the CBT sessions. She provided useful guidance through the activities and was thoughtful and encouraging throughout. The use of zoom for the sessions instead of face to face meetings was different, however it was soon found to be positive and had the added benefit in avoiding travelling to a venue.”

“I felt very comfortable with my therapist as she allowed me to express myself without interrupting me or making me feel rushed at any point. She was always on time, reliable, calm and free of judgement. I am so thankful to my therapist for allowing me to completely change my view of driving due to my accident which I did not think was possible! Thank you!”

“I didn’t know what to expect from my therapy sessions, but my therapist put me at ease straight away. She was really friendly and has a calming nature.

 I had started therapy for support with some family issues I had been experiencing but part way through my sessions we discovered that I had been suffering with General Anxiety Disorder. The therapy has helped me to view situations from a different perspective so that I am less likely to be consumed by worry.”

“My therapist has been tremendous in her support and helping me through what has been a traumatic time in my life (Thank you so much!)”

“Tina really helped me with my problems.
I came into the process rather confused, and she helped me categorise and re-think my thought patterns, isolating points where there were clear logical flaws.
That really helped, and I can now quickly access these tools mentally.”

“Reflecting on how I felt when I first began therapy, 6 months into a nationwide lockdown and struggling to process all my personal struggles amidst a global pandemic and countless human rights campaigns, it’s clear how much it has helped me recognise, challenge and manage my thoughts. My overall mood has improved massively. My therapist made me feel comfortable straight away and we developed a great rapport. My concerns / worries were listened to and made to feel valid. 

I didn’t understand the full extent to or routes of my anxiety and depression before I started CBT. It’s helped me identify how I have internalised self-critical feelings throughout my whole life – I wish I was taught how to challenge these at a younger age!

Online therapy has been great in terms of its accessibility, albeit I am lucky to have access to a separate room where I can always have privacy, and suspect this could be harder for someone living in a shared house or with lots of family around. But zoom / teams sessions really worked for me.  All the resources provided were clear and concise (which is invaluable for making my thoughts more coherent / structured).  CBT is a skill I will continue to practise and share with others. I’ve not got any negative criticism to give!”

"Tina was professional, confident and empathic, I couldn’t have asked for better. I wouldn’t have achieved my goals without Tina’s support or this service."

“I have found the service extremely helpful with my issues. Tina made me feel very comfortable talking to her, understood my perspective, and helped me though the work to reduce my worry and anxiety. She was very patient and frequently checked my expectations, progress and needs for the sessions making sure each session met my needs.

It was a shame that I could not address the anxiety and bereavement issues at the same time but I understand the reasons why that was not possible.”

"Therapist was very professional, thorough and knowledgeable. Very comfortable environment.
Would recommend Sereno Therapy."

"I started CBT with Tina at a very important time in my life and I’m so lucky that I was able to find a therapist that was patient, insightful and knowledgeable. I learnt many techniques to help change my life for the better and have been given the confidence to be my own therapist moving forward. Thank you!”

“Therapy was unknown for me and I wasn’t sure if it would work for me, but my therapist has changed my mind about this and I am so glad I gave it a chance as it really worked for me. The tools I learned in therapy have really helped me to cope with my anxiety and without therapy I wouldn’t have been able to access these.”

“Therapy has been very helpful for me and I have found it to be a good and effective treatment.”

“Built a good working rapport and relationship with my therapist from our first session, which continued to grow building trust and confidence in her abilities. Ending therapy will be like losing a very supportive friend.“

“Sereno Therapy has helped me build the tools to become a mentally fitter and stronger me, cannot recommend highly enough!”

“Having online sessions worked well to fit into my life. I was a bit apprehensive about how successful online sessions would be, but I feel I have achieved more with my therapist online than I have in face to face sessions in the past. Overall it has been a really positive experience, and I don’t feel accessing support is anything to be ashamed of.”

“My therapist was very patient in helping me through my ordeal post my accident. I can now apply what I have learnt in therapy to other aspects of my life helping me with the challenges that life brings. Altogether making me a much happier person. “

"I could not have got a better service. At all times I was made to feel that my worries were important and how to sort them out. I feel more relaxed and more in control."

“I have been very pleased with the outcomes from the therapy, the effects of the incident have now been reduced to zero. The online sessions were very easy to set up and convenient with the lock down in full swing. I even managed one in the cab of a bus when my work schedule was changed at short notice. I have nothing negative to say about my sessions Tina was very easy to talk to and the resources and handouts used were very clear and concise.”

“I’m very happy with everything and I feel I have achieved what I set out to in therapy. I would highly recommend CBT.”

"Thought I would struggle with it Tina helped me initially and then I found it reasonably easy and when I had problems she assisted me."

"I found the therapist easy to talk to, that she understood my problems and has left me feeling confident that I can continue to make progress."

“Tina was amazing, we always worked towards achieving my goals which we achieved.”

"I found the therapist easy to talk to, that she understood my problems and has left me feeling confident that I can continue to make progress."

"My therapist made me feel very relaxed and at ease throughout the course of my therapy, and this massively contributed to my recovery and progress during therapy. My therapist tailored treatment and strategies specifically to me and what worked for me, and that was really helpful."

"Tina is an excellent therapist and helped me overcome my anxiety, return to work and start enjoying life again. I would highly recommend Sereno Therapy!"
