Doing EMDR has allowed me to feel free of my past. I really enjoyed that each session was so creative with different methods Amanda used. I'm so grateful.

After just one online session, Amanda taught me an anchoring technique so that I can control my reactions on the field.

I have visited Amanda's Clinic on a number of occasions and have sent my teen there too. What I like best about the Clinic is the therapy room and it's safe feeling. You immediately feel a sense of comfort and I knew straight away this was the right place for my son.

KRISTIE J

Highly recommend the Positive Thinking Clinic for adults and children. Amanda is so gifted at what she does. I only wish I had discovered her earlier. Her clinic is beautifully laid out and her way of giving perspective in such a caring, genuine and most importantly helpful way to both myself and my daughter cannot be faulted.

NIOMI WARDEN

Highly recommend Amanda to everyone!

Amanda has a very calm energy that my children connected with immediately. She has worked with our two children in an individual way helping them to understand themselves better and have strategies to better manage their emotions. We are very grateful.

MARY-ANNE AMIES

My kids have attended the workshops and have had the best experience Amanda’s space is just so calming.. My eldest son has also seen Amanda one on one and words can not express what she has done for him. He doesn’t get along with everyone but he adores her and had such a good experience while seeing her. Can not recommend her enough.

KOULA ZACHARIA

PTC is a calm and peaceful place to be. Amanda instantly provided me with a safe and secure emotional space. She has helped me see my problems from a different perspective and has taught me how to overcome them in a positive manner. I also learn to understand myself more and how to be a better version of myself. Amanda is professional and I highly recommend anyone to seek mental health help from Amanda.

MAGDALENE TEOH

I was pleased to see my child engage so well with sand tray therapy. I did not realise how it could stimulate conversation.

KRISTY (WELLNESS PRACTITIONER)

I met Amanda at a recent conference and was pleased to hear of her passion for continuous learning. She is an inspiration.

VICKY RUSSO

My name is Dion and I am 7 years old. I have gone to the Positive Thinking Clinic to do workshops with Amanda over 10 times. I feel calm and relaxed when I am in the group because I make new friends and learn new things. My favourite was a workshop where we learned about grief. Amanda is a kind and caring person who makes you happy. You don’t need to be shy because everyone is shy. July 2019

Amanda made my daughter feel at ease straight away. She treated her like an individual, not a text book. Amanda empowered her with tools to help her in her day to day life and at school. She helped her become that happy, confident girl that she once was. I highly recommend the Positive Thinking Clinic.

Irene Xakiss

I especially love the kids holiday clinics that Amanda hosts during the school holidays. My son loves attending them and has a wonderful rapport with Amanda. The clinic covers topics such as sibling rivalry, bullying, homework, organisation, anxiety (amongst others) which have proved invaluable for my family. Every child should attend these clinics!

Sevasti Tsavaris

The team from Positive Thinking Clinic lead by Amanda Dounis have helped me a lot this past 14 months and I cannot stress enough how important it is to receive the right support at the right time in your life. Great people to have on your side!

"from what I learned with Amanda; one mindedness and calm reflections, learning to take care of my brain, disciplining not to be in a self destructive manner, continuing the ponder of the definition of "self love", and to accept myself for who I am now" THANK YOU AMANDA, WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE

teenager

"I am very pleased with the different techniques we had the opportunity to practice; It will be very positive for the children; If we could really consider introducing and improving mindfulness to our daily activities, we can better manage our levels of stress. And this will impact the children in a great way! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to participate in the seminar: I have taken positive points, not only to apply at work, but also to my personal life."

CLAUDIA PETREL: STAFF MEMBER AND WORKSHOP PARTICIPANT

Manuel Dimitriadis - Anxiety Solutions Workshop

"Attending the mindfulness presentation has helped me develop skills that I am able to apply to my workplace and in my personal life. The 5 mindful breaths are a part of my daily routine now. Thank you Amanda for the opportunity to learn the benefits of being mindful and in the present moment to help me to be the best that I can be."

Dion (Anxiety Solutions Workshop Participant)

"Before attending this workshop I was unsure of how to think and act mindfully. I now have the knowledge to think mindfully in everyday interactions, as well as incorporating it into planned experiences for the children my child care centre that I work at. Thank you for teaching me how to broaden my mindset!"

Mariah (Mindfulness Participant)

"After completing the workshop I have learnt different ways to self regulate in situations that would normally make me angry"

Angel (Mindfulness Participant)

"Throughout this workshop I was able to see the negative outcomes of always rushing and I can recognise many tasks that I do on automatic pilot. I find the topic very interesting and would now want to understand more in order to use and teach the skills to others that I know"

Charlotte (Mindfulness participant)

"I will always be grateful for the recommendation to seek help with Amanda from Positive Thinking Clinic. She is an excellent and caring counsellor whose wisdom and insight continues to uncover and reveal the underlying reasons for my behaviours. She brings a deep and inspiring faith perspective into the conversations, which strengthens the accountability she always expects. While it is not always comfortable or easy to discover these things, Amanda continually exercises professionalism and patience. I do and have recommended PTC with the highest degree of confidence."

(E.Z)

"I have been seeing Amanda on a regular basis and after every session I have noticed little changes in myself. She is so easy to talk to and she has the knowledge and skills to get you to break down barriers you thought you could never break down. Her kind nature, non judgemental attitude and ability to really listen to you is what has gotten me through a rough patch. She is phenomenal and I cannot wait to continue my treatment with her and become the person I want to be."

(Cristina Chahine)

"Amanda is great and so easy to talk to, her sessions are so helpful at helping me to achieve my goal and I'm already feeling an improvement just after a few sessions with Amanda"

(Anonymous)

"After seeing Amanda Dounis over 6 sessions, I am grateful to say that I feel free. I am now free to face my fears, and Amanda taught me how. I did not realise that running from such feelings was doing more harm. I now feel such progress with new techniques that I have learned."

(Thanks...)

“Before beginning sessions with Amanda, I was struggling with my mental state. I had discussed with her about events that have occurred throughout my life, and things I had to ‘let go of.’ I have completed one hypnotherapy session so far, and words cannot describe how differently I already feel! The issues I was dealing with have suddenly subsided. Amanda was amazing! I was instantly drawn to her, and I now know why…she made me feel completely comfortable with no judgements, and I opened up to her like I never could with anyone else”

(With Thanks, F!)

“A truly valuable experience. Amanda, your words of wisdom and the sound of your voice during our sessions has been truly mesmerising and uplifting. Your empathy and ability to share personal experiences makes it a comfortable and enjoyable experience and has helped me during our sessions to be able to personally open up and target areas that have been difficult to uncover. Thank you for all your support and continued guidance.”

Maria Zachariadis (Proud Finalist, Business Person of the Year)

“I have known Amanda personally and professionally for over 20 years. Over this time, she has and continues to mentor me. Her knowledge and passion has been invaluable. She has motivated, inspired, and provided me with the tools to successfully run two of my own businesses. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her continued support.”
