Reviews of Anchoridge Counselling Services (Psychiatrist)

Elizabeth-joy Phillips

Natasha is for sure one of the best therapist I've ever met. The whole experience of looking for a therapist that works is a challenging process. However, I am so glad I found her, she has given me so much motivation to achieve goals I was reluctant of follow through with due to the anxiety of failure. Really listening to understand, I would say is her super power. Also unafraid to talk about the challenging subjects that most therapist would shy away from. Natasha will work with you at your pace, and is very understanding of your unique life challenges and experience. If your looking for counsel with empathy and tailor made solutions to help you succeed look no further. It take work and the openness to face yourself, If your ready to face your in person then this is the place to unlock your traumas and find ways to have them no longer cripple you but empower you.

I feel profoundly grateful for Anchoridge Counselling Services, specifically Jackie, for supporting me on my mental health journey. I find Jackie to be very intentional with ensuring I know the resources in my community and providing me books, articles and Instagram profiles as well. I recommend Jackie and Anchoridge's services to anyone seeking some support :)

This place is amazing! My sessions were with Jackie and she was so helpful and provided extremely useful tools and resources to promote mindfulness in my everyday life. She's so funny and really easy to get along with, making the whole experience incredibly comfortable and easy. I highly recommend Anchoridge (and Jackie if you can get her) if you want to start therapy in a super welcoming environment!!

Tania is amazing to work with! She makes you feel heard, safe, and relaxed. She is worth every minute you get to work with her and she really builds a connection with you!

Natasha is one of the rare; few that is capable of listening to pain and helping those experience over come it. One of the good ones. Total blessing.

I have been working with Tania for over half a year and she is the most amazing, knowledgeable, understanding, practiced, and opened counsellor I have ever encountered. I have never felt so listened-to by anyone! She not only 'hears' me, but she offers thoughtful insight to every incident we have discussed. I have not felt such mental and personal progress (even in such a short time) with any other counsellor ever! Although I still struggle somedays, she has always been there to support me and help me face another day. She may look young, but she is well-practiced with years of experience in a variety of different areas. Choosing Anchoridge Counselling has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. For anyone struggling with any personal, mental, or emotional issues, I urge you to reach out to Anchoridge Counselling.

As my favorite podcaster Rich Roll said recently, "It's hard being a human in 2020." I'd say it's hard being an animal, a tree, the earth in 2020. So much suffering and so easy to feel helpless or afraid or more often angry. Thankfully we don't have to handle this alone. Natasha is a wonderful counselor. She won't let you languish for 2 years in therapy before addressing issues. She is the NBA player of counselors, dashing across the court, seeing an opening, and with a slam dunk, showing you what's fundamental to your being.

I loved my experience here. Jackie is a fantastic clinician with such a wealth of knowledge and resources. Beginning therapy during COVID was difficult but Jackie made this as comfortable as possible. She was incredibly flexible around my schedule which made this whole process smooth.

One of the few places where you feel comfortable and at ease. The environment is more homely and less than like you’re a patient in a massive clinic walking through hallways. The supporting tools and techniques really do hit the nail on the head with realizing different perspectives for yourself and see your challenges in a different way. Natasha and her team really do show you that they care.

Sara Martin

Anchoridge Counselling has helped me a lot and I would recommend them to anyone who is searching for help. I went through many different counselling agencies and once I found Jackie, I never switched again!! She is the kindest most understanding and helpful person ever. I have been seeing Jackie for over a year and she has helped me so much.

Alessandra DiMeo

My family and I are blessed to have Natasha in our lives. She is professional, compassionate and is attuned to dealing with today's issues regarding teenage girls and bullying situations at school. Our family has truly benefited from her immediate interventions, suggests and group therapy when dealing with different scenarios. As a parent struggling with parenting my own children in today's fast pace technology driven society, Natasha bridges the gaps and maintains peaceful resolutions for everyone. Thanks, Natasha! You're wonderful!

Shivani Prasada

I was so very lucky to have found Tania! She has given me a new lease on life, helped me through some dark days and now I can see the light! Tania has made me trust her to open up and reveal some of the things that I've kept bottled up inside as I have trust issues. She has approached sensitive issues with the utmost professionalism, concern and kindness. She genuinely cares and it shows every time we chat. I look forward to our sessions and know that I have found my life coach forever. I don't ever intend on leaving and am so grateful for Tania's help. Thanks so much Tania XX

Wonderful, they helped me conquer a lot of my negative body image and new perspectives on my thoughts and feelings.

Tatiana Miljevic

Tania really helped me get out of a dark space in life. I’m so glad I had her to talk to, she really helped me put things into perspective in life and got me out of the hole I was in. We did CBT therapy and it was super helpful and a different way of doing things. Anyways I’m super grateful I found Tania and I can’t recommend her enough!

Erika Schafrick

The therapist who I regularly see at Anchoridge is Tania, and she has helped me grow so much into the person who I am today. Every session she motivates me to improve myself in all aspects of my life. She is really amazing at what she does and I would recommend her to anyone who is going through a tough time; I know she helped me through mine. I have also had a few group sessions with Natasha who is also an amazing therapist!

Andrea Berges

My husband and I reached out blindly during a time of great distress. Tania Rivers reached back and has been a great source of knowledge, comfort and council; she is very kind and thoughtful, and challenges us with great care to reflect and adapt to our own challenges. I know we have a long way to go, but I am so very grateful to have Tania's support.

I have been seeing Tania for several months, and it has been incredible. I went through several other counsellors before finding her. Today was the best, most productive session I feel like we've had. Her words were really getting to me and were exactly what I needed. The way she said them was just so perfect. I seriously wish I could've recorded it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Tania, you have no idea how much you've helped me during this confusing, difficult time in my life. I'm going to try and carry the strength you gave me into tomorrow and the rest of my week. I’ll forward to seeing you again soon. I truly do not know where I’d be right now if I hadn’t found you. Thank you!!!

My experience with Tania has been an AMAZING journey. She has managed to help me out of a dark state of mind and have given me the tools and resources needed to stay on the lighter path. She is definitely OUTSTANDING at what she does. Her personality makes her so easy to talk to. I don't feel like I'm seeing a therapist when I'm there and she doesn't make me feel like I'm just another file.

I am sorry this is so long but I literally can't say enough good things about Tania. Tania Rivers' open mind and heart have fostered amazing growth and healing for my wife and I through a brutally tough period of time. Tania's approach to counselling is that of a gifted psychotherapist with many decades of experience. My wife and I feel completely comfortable sharing our thoughts and feelings with Tania. She offers a degree of insight which I have never seen from any health professional. I have an extremely tough time trusting people but Tania quickly earned my trust. My trust in Tania has thrust my goal of self improvement and evolution into high gear without feeling at all stressful. It actually feels exhilarating. I have finally developed a healthy sense of pride due to Tania's guidance and kindness towards us. She has taught me to be kind to myself which in turn has made me a kinder person to everyone in my life. My wife and I would not have made it through the past six months without Tania's assistance. We will always be grateful for Tania's open ear and unwavering commitment to helping us be happier and healthier. Thank you Tania, I see a very bright future for you in this field if you choose to continue down this path. For the sake of the community, I hope very much that you choose to continue working with people who need a helping hand.

Jackie has been incredibly helpful in overcoming issues around self-image. She is very easy to talk to and is always super positive. She gave me lots of resources for my own interest and created a very comfortable environment for me.

Jackie is an amazing counselor who has helped through many mental health and relationship issues. When I first met jackie I immediately felt comfortable talking with her. I found it very easy to open up and talk about the issues I was having. Jackie is very reliable and always on time for counseling sessions. Jackie has helped me make alot of improvements in my life that I will always be thankful for.

Juliette Wilde

Natasha has been incredible in the few months I’ve been seeing her. She’s genuinely invested in helping me progress and is always so accommodating. She’s so easy to talk to and constantly motivates me to keep moving forward. With her help, I’ve learned and progressed more in the last few months than I have in years. I would be in a very different place if it weren’t for Natasha and I’m so grateful I found her. I can’t recommend her enough!

Heather E

Highly recommend the psychotherapists here. I’ve done individual as well as couples counselling, and am still using their services. They are very welcoming, down to earth, and my husband and I both feel at ease with them. Natasha and Tania are both very talented in their field and we always feel better after our time with them! I have worked with other counsellors in the past, and these ladies are head and shoulders above what I have ever experienced. ????

Jessica Hazzard

I’ve been seeing Jackie for the last few months and she has been wonderful from day one! I always felt welcomed and listened to; she has taught me some amazing coping skills and strategies that have (and continue to) really work for me!

As the owner of Transformation Counselling, I want to wholeheartedly and publicly endorse Natasha Lavji and her team of highly skilled therapists. What impresses me most about Natasha is her integrity and authenticity: she is a woman committed to honesty and living in accordance with her values. She's also an extremely bright therapist who knows what to look for in other clinicians. Because of her honesty and dedication to healing, rather than seeing Natasha as a competitor, I see her as an ally in our mutual goal to alleviate suffering and help people live joyful and authentic lives. I'm looking forward to years of collaboration with her, and I'm excited about all the transformation she and her team of therapists will continue to bring about in our community.

My experience with Tania has been nothing short of life changing. She made me feel comfortable and safe from the beginning. After a few months, I disclosed that I felt stagnant with our sessions and she was flexible and accommodating and she introduced me to EMDR. EMDR with Tania's guidance and support has been integral to my healing - helping me explore childhood trauma in a safe space. Her willingness to adapt and unwavering compassion in each session is impactful. Tania is a gift and I would recommend her to everyone! She is truly there to serve each individual in a way that suits them best. I can't say enough positive things and so thankful to have found her.

Kelsey Cameron Ketchabaw

Tania has been working with me through EMDR and it has been amazing. I’m slowly coming out of my “shell”. The transition of a few appointments has brought me such relief with my sever anxiety and I can’t wait to see how it helps me in the future! Thank you Tania rivers!

Chang Liu

I have been talking to Jackie over the past few months and she has helped me a lot over my anxiety issues. She helped me recognizing my unhelpful thinking patterns and taught me a lot of coping strategies. I’ve improved so much and I really appreciate her helping me along the way!

Arielle Bradberry

Natasha is my psychotherapist and I feel so lucky that I found the right person to talk to. The office is so relaxing and calming. Natasha genuinely cares about her clients. She has gone above and beyond to ensure that my needs are met and continues to push me to care for myself. Thank you for all your support!!

Kelly Hishon

Tania Rivers was amazing! From the first time we met I felt 100% comfortable with her. Her insight, compassion and advice have helped my family and I tremendously. Tania helped me through my divorce and the many issues that come along with that difficult situation. I will continue to see Tania in the future and I am forever grateful!

Sandra Godfrey

Anchoridge counselling has been amazing! I have worked with Tania for some time now and she has helped me tremendously. She is extremely patient and kind. I don't know where I would be without her. She is always wiling to try new therapy techniques in addition to talk therapy like EMDR. I have done multiple therapy session with her using EMDR to tackle many issues and I always feel so much better after each session. She walked me through the whole process and made sure I always comfortable and at ease when the session was over. I can't thank her enough for all the time and work she has put into helping me. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. =)
