I have regularly referred clients to Self Growth Institute. A number of these clients have personally rang to thank me and have mentioned such factors as the professionalism and empathy shown by their psychologist, and the warm friendly atmosphere of the clinic.

I've visited this place a number of times as it was recommended by a friend of mine. Location is not too bad, there is free parking available on the street. The staff are courteous and more importantly professional. I never had to wait for my appointment. The head phsycologist is an expert and has been practicing for decades.

Unprofessional environment from waiting area to actual session rooms, it was dirty and way too warm.
The psychologist pushed medication too strongly in the first appointment and didn't offer any alternatives of help, making medication the only option. pretty much only gave the same help received from my GP. Will not be going back.
I was not contacted after or followed up with that is a straight up lie. If medication isn't your go to then I recommend speaking with your team again and advising them not to push their patients to go to a local gp and sit and wait for 3 hours and get a prescription

I wasn't sure what to expect from a therapy but my sessions at Self Growth Institute have been invaluable. Discussing anything openly with my therapist that was in my mind regarding my marriage was a huge relief. I was passing through a rough time, they helped me to see things as they actually are and not as I thought they were.
I would definitely recommend Self Growth institute, i can not thank enough for the support that was given to me.

Very professional and convenient location. My therapist has helped me with my personal growth. The technique he got me to try actually works. Better than any place I have tried before. Couldn't recommend more.

Wanted counselling, got hypnosis, not what I was wanting, they refused to book me with anyone else, or even let me re book an appointment with Jenny. I was supposed to have 6 sessions only had two, but they claimed the 6 through mental health scheme, no way would I recommend them !!
