TESTIMONIALS

"I would highly recommend working with Dr Sharmin, especially if it’s your first time going to therapy. Dr Sharmin created a warm and non-judgmental space from the beginning which made me feel safe and free to be myself. She allowed me to express what was on my mind and how I felt, and with her guidance I was able to reach my own conclusions which was extremely empowering. Dr Sharmin doesn’t make you feel like you’re a “patient”and she’s the expert, she works with you!"

"my recent appeal on immigration issues was approved. I believe a major factor in this success was the detailed report Dr. Sharmin helped me prepare about my mental health. Her expertise and support have been crucial throughout this journey, and I am truly grateful. I would highly recommend Dr Sharmin for any reports related to legal matters." 

"I had an assessment with Dr. Sharmin Aktar for my university appeal, and she wrote me a letter at short notice, which my university reviewed and reinstated me back into medical school. I’m really grateful for Dr. Sharmins help in getting such a detailed report prepared quickly—it was the crucial element in the appeal being approved! I would definitely recommend Dr. Sharmin to others in a similar situation."

"I started my therapy journey with Dr Sharmin April this year. I was really struggling with my intrusive thoughts, almost overwhelmed at times which made me do some unhealthy behaviours to combat the anxiety thats associated with the thoughts. I could not even do simple tasks without performing compulsions.

I have been struggling with this since 2020 and its just been getting worse over time.

After initial assesment Dr Sharmin, she introduced me to ERP slowly exposing me to my fears alongside a plan of action. I have made so much improvement inthe last 3 months, i can see myself improving.

I really recommend anyone struggling with intrusive thoughts to see Dr Sharmin as she has the experience and qualifications to deal with this"

"Sharmin was extremely easy to organise a session with and it was so lovely to have someone from her profession be really eager and willing to speak to inspire young students. The session was incredibly informative and within an hour Sharmin was able to answer various pressing questions from the students, helping them gain a clearer insight into what a future in the Psychological field will look like and what to expect. This is the second year Sharmin has held a Q&A session with A Level Psychology students and both times it played a pivotal role in students making informed decisions about their pathways into undergraduate studies and careers. She spoke clearly, her presentation was well paced and she explained everything in a way where the students were engaged throughout the whole session. The students were excited and inspired to see someone from an ethnic background prospering and thoroughly enjoying a career in a subject they also enjoy. We hope that Sharmin can continue to speak to our future cohorts as her delivery, background and nature makes for a brilliant role model for our students."

"The supervision sessions with Dr Sharmin Aktar are engaging and informative. They are enjoyable, and the sessions encourage all of us to utilise what we had learnt in our university years. The lessons also connect to each other and are relevant to my career path goals. It has truly been an honour to take part in these sessions."

"I have found the supervision sessions with Dr Sharmin Aktar really helpful.
It has given me a good knowledge and insight into CBT and the role of a psychologist. I have learnt a lot and can always use this knowledge to help me in my current role and my future career into psychology."

"I invited Dr Sharmin Aktar to deliver a talk for Psychology students at Brunel University London. Her talk was absolutely amazing, very inspiring and students asked many questions. It was great to hear the work that The Mind Remedy is doing and I believe it has inspired students to further develop their skills in this area and encourage them for their future careers."

“I have been seeing Sharmin (Dr. Aktar) for a while now, primarily for help with social anxiety and depression. She creates an environment where I feel truly heard and comfortable enough to open up and discuss whatever is on my mind. She adapts to what I need in each session. Having worked with many therapists over the years, Sharmin is by far the best. I’ve made the most progress with her, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
