Dr. Theoni provided invaluable support during some challenging moments in my life. Her guidance helped me navigate through personal traumas, and she played a crucial role in assisting my partner and me in building a healthy and strong relationship rooted in trust and open communication. I'm deeply grateful for her expertise and support in helping us address our past traumas and become better partners with each other.
Returning to Sri Lanka after being away for a long time, especially with all that was going on in the country, it has been difficult to see a light at the end of the tunnel. The mental health care that Dr. Theo has given me has come at a crucial time in my life and has protected me from a lot of debilitating confusion, sadness, and loneliness. I'm so happy to say that she always gives me the tools I need to prioritize my happiness and well-being, despite the chaos around me. I am most grateful for this.
Dr Theonie is an exceptional psychologist who truly stands out. She's personable, providing a welcoming and non-judgmental space. Her practical, science-based solutions have made a meaningful impact on my life. What sets her apart is her genuine care and empathy, making you feel valued and understood. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking expert guidance on their journey to wellbeing. With Theonie, you're not just another client; you're a valued individual on a path to positive change.
I started going to Dr. Theonie for therapy in October 2022 simply because I had issues sleeping and some anxiety that I thought was work-related. But we ended up working through so many things from my past and childhood that I had blocked to survive and cope…things that kept showing up negatively in my adult life though I wasn’t aware of it. It is known that most of your healing is through the work you do for yourself, but Dr. Theonie truly guided me through that process, helping me face my truths and most of helping me to treat myself with compassion going forward. One year of therapy later, I can safely say though my healing journey isn’t complete, I am at a far better place than I started. I highly recommend Dr. Theonie because I found her to be a guiding presence rather than someone who enforced her opinions on me (that was a negative experience I had with other therapists in the past). She inspired me to do the work in the best possible ways and I’m truly grateful.
I began therapy quite like most people - unsure and slightly reluctant. My sessions with Theonie helped change that perception in that I began to notice how continuous regular sessions helped me overcome some significant barriers I had placed for myself. The personal goals I have achieved since I first began therapy with Theonie are too much to count and range from small everyday ones to large big-dream ones. These sessions have and continue to provide me with a space for personal exploration and care.
I highly recommend my therapist, Dr Theonie, for her exceptional support and guidance in helping me understand and manage my stress-induced illness. When I first started seeing her, I was overwhelmed by the physical and emotional toll that stress was taking on my health. She was recommended to me by a gastroenterologist-specialized professor, and from the very beginning, I felt her kindness and empathy. Through insightful conversations and a deep understanding of my personal experiences, she helped me connect the dots and uncover the root sources of my stress. Her approach was gentle, yet thorough and effective, creating a safe space for me to explore and process my emotions and thoughts. Her expertise and knowledge taught me practical methods to cope with stress and anxiety at a pace that she intuitively understood I needed. She taught me valuable techniques to manage my stress levels and provided tools that I could apply in my daily life. Her guidance extended beyond the therapy sessions, making a lasting impact on my overall well-being.
Theonie has been instrumental in changing my life. On commencing my sessions, my outlook was bleak and I struggled severely with my mental health. I loathed who I was as a person and didn’t see the point of living a life that felt difficult at every turn. But after months of regular sessions with Theonie I began to explore who I was and who I strived to be. She taught me to take life in bite size portions and guided me through the process of rediscovering my love of life. She helped me reframe numerous negative narratives that I had etched into my mind, and taught me to be kind to myself. I’m so thankful for Theonie for her gentle guidance, her thoughtful words and her unlimited patience. It’s been 7 years and I still benefit from her sessions, which help me stay the course and keep my mental health in check. I would not be the person I am proud to be today, without her help. I could not recommend her enough as a clinician, and an all round stellar human being.
I started working with Dr. Theonie beginning of this year and from all the sessions I've had with her, I really started to understand and find myslef like I've never had before. After our sessions, I feel like she takes this knotted ball off my head and helps me untangle it and put things into perspective. She helps me see things in a frame of mind that I never think of. She is calm, modern and very comfortable to talk to. Her methods are practical and has helped me to ground myslef and be mindful. I'm forever grateful for the time she has spend on me in making my life better.
I went to Dr Theonie during a very difficult time in my life when I didn’t know who to turn to for help. I had visited a few other therapists before her, but I couldn’t connect with them as I would have liked to. I chose her because she is well-qualified, and I have seen many positive reviews about her work on social platforms. She is very professional; she listened to me patiently and gave me an analysis breakdown of my behaviours and helped me connect the dots and realize the factors from my childhood that led me to be who I was. She also constantly guided me with the inner work that needed to be done to break the toxic patterns. She helped me get out of a very toxic relationship, and bloom into my true authentic self and I am forever grateful for her.
I would be glad to share my experience of Dr. Theonie's kind and patience way of counselling and therapy for me. It has helped me a lot to understand about myself. With her therapy I have discovered me. I'm still learning about my strength and my weak points. I have learned to calm my anxiety by self love, positive affirmations and meditation. Slow and steady I'm recovering from my depression. God bless you Doctor Theonie for helping me.
Dr Theonie has been amazing in the years that I have gone to her for therapy. She gave me very useful tips to handle issues that I face and thanks to her counselling I have been able to overcome quite a few difficult situations. She’s very professional and pleasant to deal with as a therapist and has a very balanced view of situations. I have recommended her to many in my network over the last 3 years and will continue to do so.
Dr. Theonie's sessions started as a last straw, turned into a beacon of hope, and have now evolved into an ever-present compass as I navigate my own journey with so much more joy and light within. always grateful for her forthright spirit, non-sugar-coated, genuine compassion. 11/10 stars!
The energy that exists between your therapist and you should be one where you feel seen, heard, and valued without judgment; and that is exactly what I felt from the moment I walked into Dr Theonie’s office. The first day I walked into her office, I felt lonely in my trauma and I remember asking her how long I would have to do this. I wanted a quick fix, but soon I came to realize that healing is not like putting a plaster on a cut. Dr Theonie created an environment for me that made me excited to work on myself, she made me understand life and healing were never linear, and she stood by me every step of the way. I may have not wanted to be another statistic sitting in her office seeing a therapist, but today, I can confidently say, I am not the same person that walked into her office wanting a quick fix. Now I look forward to our catch-ups, and it’s a part of my routine to work on myself. I am ever so grateful to her.
My experience with Dr. Theonie is something I cannot describe in just a sentence or two. Given the fact that I’m someone who had a very negative experience with a therapist in the past, it was crucial that this choice I made to open up to Dr. Theonie was the right one because I did not want my trust broken two times over. And going ahead with Dr. Theonie was definitely the best decision I made. Not only am I glad I chose to trust her, but she’s given me a tool that money can’t buy, and that is self-awareness because of it I feel like I’m doing a whole lot better and will continue to get better because of how she helped me change my way of thinking and to be this is invaluable. So, I am very grateful”.
