Anchoridge Counselling Services

The lack of professionalism by admin and the director when my counsellor decided to leave the practice was unbelievable for a counselling place. The director abruptly wouldn't let me see my counsellor anymore and didn't allow me to have a transition out with my counsellor. In my eyes she disappeared immediately and they didn't seem to care and I was left devastated and confused, with no explanation. I can't imagine any mental health practice doing that to their clients. I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else, especially if going to therapy is hard for you.

My child had been seeing one of their counsellors for some time when something had happened and my counsellor had left the practice. Of course, my child and I were very confused upon hearing the news but the admin personally called to apologize, even though it was not their fault. They are unable to control who does what and when and then they are left with the repercussions from others. I want to commend them for how they handle difficult news as clearly this was something out of their control.

Throughout our time with Anchoridge, all individuals have been kind, caring, respectful, and passionate about their work.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

I have been to so many counsellors and Anchoridge Counselling is by far the best one. I had Natasha, which is the owner of Anchoridge. She is extremely understand about payments which is really awesome if you struggle financial like my family does. When you are in a session, it doesn't feel like you are sitting with a psychotherapist, it feels like you are talking to someone who cares. If she isn't busy she is willing to go over time a bit to talk with you, she wants you to get better!
