Client Feedback

  • I knew I needed help desperately but having already spent thousands of pounds on therapy with little success I was wary. I decided to give it one last try. From the first moment Dr Hirani was so kind and understanding. I felt she really understood my struggles. When she told me I would only need a handful of sessions I was sceptical. But we have been gradually increasing the time between sessions and hopefully before long I won’t need regular therapy. She’s honestly changed my life.

  • Daksha also has a wonderful ability to make sense… of a lot of cluttered information I would share with her, breaking the challenges down and taking it step by step. I would highly recommend her. 

    K.T.

  • I loved my first session with Daksha, and I am very much looking forward to continuing. She has a very kind energy and makes me feel welcome to open-up without judgement. She helps me figure things out by listening and offering insight.

    M.R.

  • I am extremely grateful to Daksha for all the work we have done together over the last year. I reached out to her in a period of heightened anxiety in the hope of finding short term improvement. She provided it.

  • Daksha was extremely helpful - knowledgeable and insightful. I hadn’t met with a psychologist before but have felt I wanted that perspective on a particular issue.

    T.A.

  • I came to Daksha at a point where I felt stuck in patterns I couldn’t break. I was ready to move on from my past. She saw me clearly, challenged me kindly, and guided me through work that genuinely changed how I show up in my life. Her expertise is obvious in every session, she knows exactly when to push, when to support, and how to get to the core of an issue. Her no-nonsense style was exactly what I needed. I can’t recommend her enough.

    L.S.

  • The work I have done with Daksha has been completely life changing. If you are considering whether to work with her all I can say is most definitely do it, you will not regret it. She is an extremely talented therapist. Her breadth of experience and application is nothing short of brilliant. She is very supportive but also helps you to take control and emphasises that a lot of the work is done by you outside of the sessions, which I found very important. The EMDR sessions we did helped me move forward in a way and at a pace that I did not imagine was possible until we did them.
