Testimonials for the OCD and Anxiety Support Group
"The OCD support group has helped me a great deal in realizing that I am not alone in my struggles and understanding that there are people out there who are going through the same kind of issues. The group is one of the few places where I feel comfortable expressing my feelings and talking about my struggles, without having to fear judgement or being ridiculed. I am deeply grateful to Min for having founded this group and providing this unique platform to all of us who need encouragement and help in our daily lives." (Susanne, Female, Consultant)
Minal's support group is my first experience with therapy of any kind. I was nervous before I attended my first session. I am very uncomfortable about sharing my personal thoughts and anxieties with others. Minal and the other group members have been welcoming and supportive. The group is so much more than just talking about your problems. The other members know emotional struggle and express tremendous empathy and Minal gives us exercises and tools to help us feel stronger. She is caring, experienced and professional.

Testimonials for Minal’s Workshops
I was anxious about going to the Anxiety: Friend or Foe workshop, since it was a new place with new faces. My friend and I were very warmly welcomed and invited to sit wherever and however we felt most comfortable. Min presented with such a warm and caring manner, explaining firstly her qualifications and experience with this topic, which is impressive. She then spoke more about the difference between normal anxiety levels and anxiety disorder. We did a few different exercises which involved thinking and moving about. After this Min went into helping us recognise different patterns of thinking, and how we can use CBT to reprogram the way we think. All in all it was a very well planned and presented workshop which has helped me to understand and cope with my anxiety. Thanks for your time Min. (RC, Female, School Teacher)

Testimonials for Individual Counselling with Minal
“I have suffered from Panic attacks, Anxiety, Sadness and OCD behaviour on an escalating scale for 20 years. I have sought treatment from Western and Chinese doctors, psychologists and hypnotherapy in both the UK and HK. All of these treatments only had short term benefits and my own situation didn’t improve, in fact it got worse in recent years.I have been seeing Minal for a year and I found that after a few sessions, things started to improve after talking about how ocd and anxiety behaviours affect you and learning and using the techniques to deal with them. Minal’s own experiences with anxiety are a real insight to other sufferers which unless you have experienced these symptoms yourself are very difficult to fathom for yourself and your loved ones. Now my symptoms are at a very manageable level which I would have found difficult to believe a year ago. The best way to describe the incredible progress i have made is this : Life before Minal and Life after Minal” (DN, Male, Teacher)

Testimonials for Individual Counselling with Minal
“I can still remember the first time I met Min, I was in a very bad situation. I felt weak, upset, crying alot and so unsure about my life! After having a few sessions with her, I started to think how I want my life to be and how I want to be treated. I learnt to love myself and to gain more control in relationships with others. I am feeling so much better now, I found myself a lot more assertive. It wasn't easy but, " Min, you have taught me how and thank you very much for that! All the best my dear."
