   I honestly don't know where my son and my family would be right now if we hadn't got in touch with Shikainah Champion. She changed everything for us. My 15/16yr old son had the most debilitating anxiety. We couldn't get him in to school at all. His mood was so low for such a long time and his confidence was nowhere to be seen. It was heart breaking and very difficult for the whole family. After doing some research, I decided to get in touch with Shikainah and it is the best thing I have ever done. I booked a course of sessions incorporating CBT & EMDR. I honestly couldn't believe the difference in my son. After the 2nd session he was in school every day. It was amazing. His confidence is through the roof and he has started college with no problems at all. He wouldn't even have considered starting a new place of education before having this therapy. He has flourished beyond belief. Thank you Shikainah, for everything. We are so thankful.

   I have been seeing Shikainah for various reasons over time and she has helped me overcome all that I need to. She has taught me many ways to help me through my situations and in ways which suit me as well. She is easy to talk to, makes me feel comfortable and calm. Shikainah works things through with you with no judgement and wants to see succeed and celebrate those wins with you I Highly recommend Shikainah Thank you for all your help Shikainah

   I would encourage anyone enduring longterm health conditions to give EMDR & CBT a go. Come along with an open mind and it will have such a positive impact on helping you to regain control of your health condition, leaving you feeling positve, assertive and able to look at your situation, embracing the challenges, with a positive perspective

   I had around 16 sessions with Shikainah who specialised in EMDR therapy that I required due to my diagnosis of C-PTSD. The NHS was going to be a minimum of 9 months waiting list... Although the therapy isn't cheap, it is worth every penny, especially for its intricate and effective impact. The first session was incredibly informative and really helped me to understand what EMDR was, how it worked both in practice and psychologically, and then during the sessions I felt at ease and supported throughout the course of therapy. I didn't anticipate how much of an incredible impact the course has had, my sleep, reduced nightmares, general relaxation and reduced feelings of threat have been a welcomed benefit to my life. I couldn't recommend it more highly. Thank you, Shikainah. George

   Where to start? I can not recommend Shikainah and her services highly enough. Before attending her sessions I was in a place where I was struggling to see my future being positive. She helped me make sense of my past and guided me towards a more successful future. I not only benefited from the sessions immediately but I now feel equipped for anything that may prove a test in the future. I’ve got a better understanding of my mind and how to tackle future problems. If you are in a place where you feel like seeking help, there is no one I would trust more with my vulnerabilities than shikainah.

   I Started CBT & EMDR Therapy back in March 2022 after an accident at work, i didn't know what to expect at the start but oh my word, i have just come to the end of treatment and can honestly say, it has so helped me. I feel like the old me again, i can go to bingo, go shopping to Tesco's and i have even visited my old work. After my accident i didn't like the colour Royal Blue as it reminded me of it to much, but i have bought a RB scarf and i have held it and i have even just put it around my neck. This is something i would never have considered doing before as i would have had anxiety, sweats and my heart would race. Highly recommend this therapist as i don't know what i would have done without her.

   Hi, if you ever wondered, whether you should, take the plunge and book sessions with Shikainah, I can say that I have had 20 sessions with her ,she is flexible to your needs, and does not interrupt when you are talking, and tries suitable and workable solutions to your issues. I have had other counselling with other people and it never really worked. Her talents are not just specific to one field, and I can assure you that I have multiple issues that I needed dealing with. And I feel now after eight years I have hope, and tools to deal with issues that will crop up in the future I personally dont think you will regret, having sessions with her and I am extremely fussy, with whom I can relate to. So please give Shikainah a try Thanks Regards Steve

   I had EMDR therapy over a period of about 5 months to treat my anxiety due to a few car accidents. Having never heard of EMDR I wasn't sure what to expect but I can confidently say that it has worked and I have seen a huge improvement in myself thanks to Shikainah's help. Would definitely recommend to others that are struggling!

   I was in a very dark and lonely place, at complete despair. I was consumed by dense mind fog and perpetual negative feelings which appeared to happen subconsciously. This in turn made for difficult sleep causing confusion, frustration and constant anxiety. I just couldn’t explain what was happening to me and couldn’t bear the thought of meeting people. I felt I couldn’t go on anymore! Shikainah caught me at my lowest point. At first it was difficult to discuss what I was feeling I just didn’t understand this confused state I found myself in, I was embarrassed and wanted it to end. Shikainah patiently listened and helped guide me to a position where we could breakdown these negative thoughts. With a commitment from me and Shikainah’s techniques we started to change the negative patterns. Today, I still use those techniques and live a full enjoyable life. Yes, there are difficult days but I now have the tools to deal with what comes my way. Thank you Shikainah, your hand held guidance and patience literally changed my life. Thank you! Glen

   My daughter had CBT and EMDR therapy with Shikainah for several months to treat OCD. The therapy was very effective in managing this condition and as a result her anxiety is now under control. Shikainah taught my daughter how to be her own therapist so that she has the skills necessary to manage her condition for the long term. Shikainah is kind, sensitive, sympathetic and very knowledgeable. My daughter had complete trust in her and felt she could express herself freely without fear of judgement or embarrassment. I would not hesitate to recommend Shikainah.
