Testimonials

• Psychology Associates has been providing an EAP service to our business for several years. Our staff appreciate the way in which this service is provided in a streamlined, professional and confidential manner. From a business perspective it is great to be able to offer this excellent service to our staff.

• I had been having some difficulties with stress and anxiety and decided to seek help through Psychology Associates. I worked with therapist, Sallie Dawa, who was very approachable and easy to talk to. In our sessions Sallie provided valuable information and educational resources, and gave me insight as to how my mindset and thinking patterns were affecting my physical and mental self. Taking time outside of family and work life to think about my own wellbeing, and spending some time on myself, has been life changing.

• On the various occasions over the past few years when we have used this service, staff having a wide variety of issues, we have found the professionalism, effectiveness and timely availability of the service has more than met our expectations.
  
  We have also used Psychology Associates to assist in inter staff mediation and team building. Again it is cost effective to solve the problem quickly by using outside expertise to allow everyone to return to making a full contribution to the teaching team.

  Director OUCA

• I remember being very nervous the first time I came into your office (Nicola) but you made me feel very safe and welcome. I appreciate all the help you have given me and the talks we had really helped in a very confusing time. I feel so much better about where I stand now than I did before we talked.

  Former client

• I've wanted to say for the longest time that I am so truly grateful for everything you did for me at the time I really needed it the most. Honestly, i would not be where I am today without your help.

• The staff and management of The Mission has benefited extraordinarily from the Employee Assistance Programme services provided by Psychology Associates over the last 3 years, when they have been our contracted EAP provider.
  
  PA provide a fantastic mix of highly skilled, well trained, and outcome-focussed practitioners – staff have a range of therapists from which to choose, and yet as the employer we can be assured that the same high standard of practice will be delivered regardless of which individual psychologist is engaged with.
  
  We particularly value the outcomes-focus of clinical psychology – as an employer we are looking for results, and PA does well with our staff to deliver them.

  Laura Black
  Director - The Mission

• Mercy Hospital and Psychology Associates have worked together over the last few years. The staff at Psychology Associates have provided our staff with individual counselling sessions to assist with a range of issues, and whilst the service is confidential the staff who have reported back, have been extremely appreciative of the support they have received.
  
  We have also worked with Psychology Associates staff to provide tailored training sessions and group work to deal with a number of sensitive issues and education on relevant topics. The staff feedback from these sessions has also been extremely positive. Psychology Associates are professional and efficient in the booking and administration of the services which is essential at critical times to ensure a smooth referral. Thanks team.
