Trainee Testimonials
"Studying for my SCA with Mariha was the best decision I made. I was pregnant, working and looking after a toddler, and she helped me feel more structured and confident in my consultations. Her coaching was personalised, her feedback was extremely helpful, and she supported me with managing tricky stations in a clear and practical way. I would highly recommend her to anyone preparing for the SCA."

"Although I already had access to mock materials, the personalised guidance I received from Dr Mariha Hamid made the biggest difference. She observed my consultations, gave detailed and constructive feedback, and helped me improve my structure, communication style and patient-centred approach.
What I appreciated most was her ability to identify exactly what would make my consultations stronger and more effective. Through her coaching, I became much more confident in delivering clear, structured and focused consultations. I would highly recommend Dr Mariha Hamid to anyone preparing for the SCA. Her insight, encouragement and personalised feedback were instrumental in helping me develop the skills I needed."
