Centre for Emotion Focused Practice - Psychologists and Counsellors

"Danger for Adolescents. Our daughter was alienated by her mother following marital breakdown. I worked very hard with my daughter to bring her back into my life and mentally into a good place where she was thriving. Once my daughter began attending this practice, her mother used the psychologist to manipulate our daughter to alienate me again. I quickly noticed our daughter withdrawing from me and I attempted to reach out to the psychologist to express my concerns but she would not return my correspondence. Our daughter is now not attending school very often, using drugs, will not accept any form of commitment or responsibility in her life and more. Furthermore, she no longer has a father as she has completely erased me. This is classic extreme parental alienation and the psychologist was ignorantly and blindly manipulated to facilitate it. Unfortunately the data demonstrates that the consequence of our situation will are likely to effect our daughter for the remainder of her life. Had the psychologist acted in our daughters best interest and not that of her narcissistic mother she would still have the opportunity to have a meaningful relationship with both of her parents and her future would have been better."

"I was pretty nervous about my first appointment with Tony. The lady was lovely and helpful when I made my booking. However, just 2.5 hours before my appointment is about to start, I received a call from another person and was asked if I could come in earlier. I was called at 3pm, and was asked if I could come in at 4pm, 4.30pm, 5pm. The person on the phone had bad manners, wasn’t listening and really cold. Cancelled my appointment immediately. It’s not the place you want to be when you are about to be emotionally vulnerable. Why are you in the business of helping people’s minds and emotions if you can even be warm and welcoming before patients got into the door. I wonder how are the patients being treated."

"Have been seeing Geoff and he's been incredible. His patience, kindness and knowledge are immense. I thought he was one of the best however he has pushed his own agenda during a time where I could have done without. So much hard work destroyed in such little time. Have no words."

"This review is for a psychologist called Ross Evans. I have dealt with him I think 5-6 times. He was extremely helpful and attentive. Sadly he is no longer working at Centre for Emotion Focused but I would like to thank the centre and more impotant thank Ross for his help. If there is a will, there is a way and I found my way again. Regards Ibrahim"

"Friendly staff, peaceful feel to the place, welcoming waiting room and offices."
