Testimonials

“Before therapy I was experiencing anxiety, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, disturbed sleep and other physical symptoms of PTSD. I saw Jeyda for a total of 13 weeks and I feel such a huge difference after my sessions. I feel like things are much more quiet in my head… My overall wellbeing has improved hugely; the difference really is life changing. I feel my relationship with my mother and my marriage overall has improved… I feel I can be more present with the people I love and I feel more safe. …Working with Jeyda has been absolutely fantastic and I have recommended her to many people I know personally. …Overall, Jeyda is really kind, holding and offers fantastic reflections and feedback throughout sessions. I am so grateful for my experience!”

“… I tried various types of therapy until someone recommended Jeyda to me. I did 18 sessions of EMDR therapy with Jeyda. I found her to be of high emotional intelligence, someone who “got it” immediately and very compassionate. I particularly liked the fact that she was sensitive to my religious beliefs and practices. My faith helped complement the therapy very well. I was surprised by how effective EMDR with Jeyda was. I didn’t just heal from my issues but I got insight into why I was being triggered. It has now been two months since I did that therapy and although my mother is the same, I have not been triggered by her once. As a result my relationship with her is how I always dreamed of it to be. … She is one of the best therapists that I have had.”

“I can wholeheartedly say that Jeyda is truly an exceptional therapist whose expertise and warm, person-centred approach is worth every penny that she charges and more. … Working with Jeyda has been truly transformational for me, and, while I am still a work in progress, I have been able to grow significantly and largely free myself from the shackles of my troubled past. I have learned to respect and be compassionate to myself, to not blame myself for events over which I had no control, and to forgive those who harmed me. I have also learned to advocate for myself and to hold space for my needs while not losing sight of the needs of others. … I remain deeply grateful for the role that Jeyda has so far played in my journey of healing and growth, and the care and warmth with which she approached our sessions.” 

“Starting my healing journey with Jeyda has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Through processing my trauma with DBR, I’ve been able to live a more peaceful life, set healthy boundaries, and release the unhealthy coping mechanisms I once used to survive. I now have a deeper understanding of my trauma—the root cause, its impact on my life, and the extent of its damage. More importantly, I’ve gained a newfound awareness of my strength and my ability to overcome life’s immense challenges. Jeyda’s support has been invaluable, and I deeply appreciate how respectful she is of my religious beliefs. As someone who holds my faith close to my heart, this was incredibly meaningful to me. Having spent much of my life living a lie, controlled by those I loved and trusted, only to later realise they never truly cared for me, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude toward Jeyda. She’s helped me take ownership of my life and, for the first time, breathe freely…”

“I started EMDR/DBR treatment to deal with the traumatic illnesses and death of immediate family members which were one after the other; this significantly halted my grieving process. Before therapy my symptoms included flashbacks … I became stuck & was not able to grieve which impacted my day to day living. Dr Jeyda is very knowledgeable and professional, I have appreciated her patience; she demonstrated care for my wellbeing by creating a non judgmental safe space for me where I felt comfortable to share my distress. Towards the end of my treatment I noticed a reduction in distressing symptoms such as flashbacks, anxiety, and intense negative emotions with regards to certain situations. My traumatic memories have lessened & I feel I can grieve now and move forward. I thank Dr Jeyda for the time she has spent with me; it has made a significant difference to my life.”

“Working with Dr. Hammad was a true turning point in my life. She supported me through the darkest period I’ve ever faced, often going above and beyond. … DBR was key to my healing. It requires commitment and effort, but if you find yourself feeling heavy, low, or struggling with everyday life — whether or not you know the source of your pain — this therapy can help. Alhamdulillah, for the first time in my life, I feel like things are moving in the right direction. I no longer wake up feeling like a dark cloud is hanging over me. It’s an incredible blessing, alhamdulillah.”

“I began my sessions with Jeyda to address my avoidant attachment style and low self-esteem. This was my first experience seeking professional help from a therapist, and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. Jeyda’s patience and exceptional listening skills have been invaluable. She has helped me build confidence in both my decision-making and myself. Working through my trauma has been challenging, but Jeyda’s unwavering encouragement and support have made all the difference. Her presence has ensured I never felt alone on my journey to healing, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.”

“I am deeply grateful to Dr Jeyda for working with me through EMDR and DBR to help me process my childhood trauma. She is very knowledgeable in her field, as well as a calm and trustworthy person. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a path and life free from trauma.

“I saw Jeyda for low self-esteem, social anxiety and childhood trauma. Following our sessions, I feel very positive, I have a feeling of normality in my mind; I am no longer overthinking and I’m able to get on with things that I previously struggled with or avoided. I experienced a 95% improvement with my social anxiety; I don’t feel anxious in social situations anymore. I’m better able to tolerate my parents and don’t feel resentment towards them anymore, my tendency to people please has reduced and I have better boundaries.”

“Jeyda supported me throughout our journey and created a safe space for me to explore my thoughts and emotions without judgment. …I have experienced significant progress and growth in various aspects of my life. I feel more confident in handling challenges, and I’ve noticed positive changes in my relationships and overall well-being. Jeyda’s encouragement and support have been instrumental in my journey toward healing and personal growth.”

“After many years of living with my past trauma, fears, feeling guilty and blaming myself, through our therapy I’m so pleased that I finally realised that none of them was relevant. My beliefs about myself have improved; I don’t feel scared or blame myself anymore…many thanks with all my heart”

“The therapy has helped me feel better. My brain feels clearer now; I can concentrate again and return to my studies. I don’t feel bothered by the past anymore; my nightmares and flashbacks have stopped. I feel happy again”

“I had a space to come and heal. She guided me through the whole process in a gentle and skillful way. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“Jeyda helped me to open up and express my feelings; very polite, supportive and excellent listener.”
