SAFE2GO DRIVER REHAB: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Henry and Safe2Go Driving highly enough! After being involved in a head-on collision, I struggled with avoidance and anxiety, steering clear of driving for a very long time. Just the thought of getting into a car filled me with overwhelming fear. But Henry has been an incredible support in my journey to feeling safer on the road again. What sets Henry apart is his deep empathy and patience. His extensive experience and background gives him a solid understanding of mental health, PTSD, and anxiety. This allows him to adapt his teaching methods to different situations and mental health needs. Throughout our lessons, Henry’s patience and empathetic approach made me feel truly understood and supported. Henry didn’t just teach me the mechanics of driving; he provided me with techniques to manage my anxiety and gradually start to overcome the avoidance that had held me back for so long. His ability to tailor his guidance to my specific fears has been invaluable. While I’m still on my journey to recovery, I now feel more capable and secure when driving—something I wasn’t sure I could achieve after my accident. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who is not only skilled but also incredibly patient and compassionate, Henry is the one to choose. He has made a significant positive impact on my life, and I’m incredibly grateful for his help.
Thank You for Your Amazing Review! Thank you so much for your incredible review. Your feedback is a testament to why I am so passionate about supporting my clients on their journey back to driving. I understand how deeply it can impact one’s self-esteem and ability to carry out day-to-day driving tasks that many take for granted. Motor vehicle accidents like yours can be such a challenging period in one’s life. PTSD is incredibly difficult for anyone to deal with. When we first started working together, you were avoiding driving due to overwhelming anxiety, and to see you come this far is truly amazing. Watching you engage with the process of finding your freedom again, even though it can still be difficult at times, has been inspiring. Your motivation has played a huge role in helping you progress so much. I’m so glad that our work together has helped you feel safer and more capable on the road. While you’re still on your journey to recovery, it’s clear that you’ve made significant strides in overcoming the challenges you’ve faced. I’m committed to continuing to support you as you regain your confidence and independence. Your words have been uplifting for me, and I’m truly grateful to know that the techniques and support we’ve worked on are making a positive impact in your life. Thank you again, Kayla, and I look forward to continuing our work together. Best regards, Henry Safe2Go Driving Program
Fantastic experience: As someone who has struggled with driving anxiety, after some traumatic experiences, the idea of returning to the confident driver I was before felt nearly impossible. However, after six months of consistent, patient, and highly personalised coaching from Henry at Safe2Go my perspective and abilities have dramatically changed. From the very beginning, Henry approached my situation with an incredible level of empathy and understanding. He recognised the unique challenges that nervous drivers face and tailored his teaching methods to suit my specific needs. His approach wasn't just about driving; it was about building confidence, understanding the root of my fears, and equipping me with the tools to overcome them. Over the course of our sessions, we gradually progressed from easier tasks to those that previously would have been unthinkable for me, such as driving on 80km roads around Sydney. It's now March, a few months after our sessions ended, and I can confidently say that the positive effects of Henry's coaching have not only lasted but have truly transformed my driving experience. My instances of anxiety have reduced by approximately 80-90%, and on the rare occasions when I do feel anxious, the intensity is significantly less. Most importantly, I now have strategies to relax and manage my anxiety in those situations, thanks to Henry. Henry's personalised approach made all the difference. His patience, expertise, and supportive nature were key in helping me transition from a state of fear to one of growing confidence on the road. For anyone struggling with driving anxiety, I cannot recommend Henry Naser enough. His methods work, and he genuinely cares about his students' progress. Thanks to Henry, I'm not just a more confident driver; I've regained a sense of freedom and independence that I thought was lost to me.
Dear Amelia, Thank you for your inspiring review. Your journey in overcoming driving anxiety is a powerful demonstration that it's never too late to embark on a path of self-improvement. Each session you completed set a new benchmark, underscoring the notion that the transient nature of life should motivate us to seize every opportunity for growth. Your experience is a testament to the efficacy of graded exposure and desensitisation, highlighting a bottom-up approach where small, consistent steps lead to significant internalisation and transformation. By tackling each challenge, you didn't just confront your fears; you embraced and internalised a new level of confidence and independence, illustrating how incremental progress can yield substantial changes. Your dedication and self-motivation were pivotal on this journey, showcasing the power of a bottom-up method in building resilience. I am grateful for your kind words and honoured to have witnessed your transformative journey. Observing how you embraced and internalised each lesson was enlightening. Your story serves as a potent reminder that we can always reach new heights, no matter our starting point. Thank you again for sharing your journey; it stands as a beacon of hope and an exemplar of how it's never too late to alter our narrative. Warm regards, Henry Naser and the Safe2Go Team
Fantastic experience: 1 lesson is all you’ll need to assure yourself that you’ve made the right choice. In my experience most instructors teach you solely how to pass the test, this is not Henry’s approach. Henry teaches you how to be a safe and assertive driver, to use all the information available to you on the road to make clear and informed decisions. Though he’s analytical expertise as well as astute observation of the road and behavioural tendencies he was able to soundly pick up and correct all aspects of my driving competency. It felt surreal driving home alone for the first time after passing the test as I was now a confident and aware driver. Happy driving and thanks once again Henry!
Thank you for the review, much appreciated!, your very welcome! Enjoy your driving freedom!
Fantastic experience: Having passed my test years ago but only driven intermittently since passing, I really lacked confidence in driving especially in a busy city environment. Henry is an amazing, patient and professional teacher and has an excellent style which I have never experienced before. His balance between theory and practical allowed me to learn new techniques and banish bad habits. If you're a nervous driver and need to rebuild your confidence on the road then I highly recommend Henry.
Hi Alison, thank you so much for the feedback! You diligently internalised the skills and put a tremendous amount of effort in accomplishing your goals. I’m proud of you! Thank you Henry Safe2go
Fantastic experience: I used to not never drive enclosed in my suburb. I eventually met Henry and he showed me the skill set to grow my confidence behind the wheel to drive outside of my comfort zones. I've tried psychologists, and they didn't work, and I have also tried different driving schools, and they also did not work. At this point, I feel like I have finally regained my freedom of travel. Thank you Henry!!!
Fantastic experience: A few days ago I had one of the two hour lessons designed for foreigh license holders with Henry. It was amazing. Not only did he prepare me for driving in Australian cities but he also gave me tools for safe driving that I can use back home. He even gave me additional time at no extra cost because he thought I needed a little more work in some areas. Henry is an excellent teacher and I would strongly recommend anyone who's looking for a lesson give him a call.
Fantastic experience: As an experienced driver overseas I wanted to attempt the driving exam to get a driving license in Sydney. I booked a couple of hours from Henry and he gave me wonderful tips about my driving style as well as review on the road rules. He is very patient and focused on providing examples in theory and while driving with him. Great experience and happy to recommend him.
thank you Stratos, also thank you for the review, and congrats on the pass!
Fantastic experience: After having panic attacks regularly for 10 years whilst driving; particularly on freeways, I recently used the services of Safe2Go. It was worth my travelling from Melbourne and staying in Sydney and the time and money I invested. Henry is highly professional and passionate. He has a wealth of knowledge, experience and an array of invaluable tools. He taught me essential driving fundamentals and the mechanics of the vehicle. This knowledge is powerful as it does not only make you a better driver, it could potentially save your life and other people's lives whilst on the road. Henry has acute observation skills and he provides constructive feedback and positive reinforcement. Although he is not a psychologist, he is more of a driving coach than simply a driving instructor and he has a high level of understanding and empathy regarding driving phobia, driving anxiety and panic attacks whilst driving. His calm and confident manner and the fact that he is a genuinely nice person put you instantly at ease. I cannot recommend Safe2Go highly enough.
Thank you Lisa and appreciate you for taking the time to write this review, I must say, you also put the energy into making this work for you! With this experience you have gained the skills and confidence to drive with freedom. Again a very warm thank you!
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much!! Highly recommend Henry's lessons for anyone who wants to learn driving the right way and build confidence to pass the drive test. I took a 2 hour lesson just an hour before my drive test and it was the best decision I probably made! Passed with a great score after a failed first attempt when I went on my own. I needed to unlearn a lot of driving habits which would have failed me again, but couldnt have asked for more from the class. Henry is not just another instructor, he specialises in overcoming your anxiety of the test by explaining why you 'must' do what you need to do. Each and every tip, every piece of advise is just spot on! Thorough professional and very patient and accommodative, he even spends time reviewing the driver's guide with you once the lesson is done, pointing out the key things to remember. Absolutely worth taking his lesson if you want to be a good driver! Thanks again Henry! Cheers!!
Fantastic experience: 5 stars without question. I've had my licence for years, but whilst going through a very stressful time I suffered a panic attack while driving on the freeway one day. This put me off getting behind the wheel for a number of years. Decided I needed to do something about it and after finding safe2go one day whilst researching what I could do about my situation I contacted Henry. One of the best decisions I have ever made. We arranged some lessons and within weeks I found my confidence returning. Henry is an amazing guide, patient and calm but above all else he is realistic about where your ability lies and what you need to focus on. He is also good at reinforcing road rules and giving you techniques to cope with stressful situations. Take note, Henry is not a psychologist which he makes very clear; if you are suffering with extreme anxiety then the lessons will probably help along side another form of therapy, but if you're lacking a bit of confidence and get a bit anxious about driving then these lessons are perfect. Henry helps you to reclaim your freedom, these lessons are worth every cent.
Fantastic experience: After many years trying and putting off getting my licences I found Safe2go and decided to give them a try. After the first lesson with Henry I knew this was the instructor who would get me over my anxiety and fear of driving. From the get go I was comfortable and the way Henry teaches is not about passing the test but getting you to be the best and safest driver you can be. Each lesson I learned so much and at the end when it all came together it was such a great feeling. I learned so much more than just simply road rules, I am now a very confident driver and can't wait to get on the road. Henry has given me the freedom I was missing and can't thank him enough for that. I highly recommend Henry for anyone who finds it hard to relax while driving, you will learn so much and be a better driver at the end. Worth every cent.
Thank you! truly said! from start to finish you wanted to learn and you did it!
Fantastic experience: Even though I have had my drivers license for a long time, I have struggled with fear of driving for years and for 10 years barely ever got behind the wheel. I've just had my last lesson with Henry and now enjoy driving and love the freedom and independence it gives me. Henry is a patient and supportive teacher with an excellent method of instruction. Whether you are learning how to drive from scratch or need to overcome anxiety, I would absolutely recommend taking lessons with Henry. It is worth the investment!
Thank you for choosing safe2go, it was a pleasure having you as a student, your motivation for freedom has made you earn it!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Henry to anyone looking to gain confidence on the road. His guidance and clear instructions really helped me and I got my license first go. I used to dread reverse parking but his simple method changed all that and I was actually sad to not have to do a reverse park in the test! Thanks again Henry!
Fantastic experience: I have two classes with Henry and I have to say they were outstanding. Henry showed me carefully all traffic rules and pointed me out my mistakes to be avoided on the test. As a result I managed to get the drive licence on the first test. I totally recommend Henry for any lesson you might need to have. Thanks so much Henry!! =)
Fantastic experience: Henry is simply the best. Being a new learner and unfamiliar with Sydney roads, Henry taught me skills that I will take away with me for life. I never thought I'd see the day that I'd be comfortably driving on the streets. Thanks to Henry I just passed my driving test on the first go yesterday. He is honestly the best person to learn from and I would recommmend his services to anyone wanting a top quality instructor. Thanks Henry :)
Fantastic experience: I decided to take driving lessons with Henry after reading so many positive reviews, I am used to drive but in Europe so I was lacking of confidence driving in Sydney. Henry was absolutely great, he went through the code rules, he gave me a few tips and after 2 different sessions with him I felt the same confidence as when I use to drive in Europe. I recommend him 100%. Thanks Henry for being so professional!!
Fantastic experience: Henry is a very good teacher. I am have been driving for eight years but for the first time in Sydney. His ability to tailor the sessions to help me get the maximum benefits both for myself and for the test in Sydney was highly commendable. It was exactly what I was looking for, something which prepares me for Sydney driving. Definitely worth it
Fantastic experience: I was looking for a school to help me pass the test, and i ended up with valuable skills that help me later on. Thanks Henry
Fantastic experience: Henry is an amazing teacher, he takes the time to understand why you are struggling with driving and helps you work through it bit by bit. In my case anxiety, I was like a scared cat at the wheel, nervous of everything. Henry helped me understand what I need to do to be safe and relaxed on the road. By the end of the first lesson we set a date for the test and the number of classes I needed (he guessed I was goal orientated and this was the push I needed) . With Henry's help I passed first time. Now I am running to the car to drive instead of making excuses not to take the wheel, I could not have imagined this 2 months ago ( My partner also wants to give a big thumbs up to Henry for getting me on the road, "best Christmas present ever" - his words)
Fantastic experience: Just got back from a family trip where I was the main driver, wouldn't believe it if someone told me that it is possible 3 months ago. Henry is a perfect instructor, I would highly recommend him to anyone, especially drivers with anxiety issues like me. His gentle and friendly attitude, his advices and guidance not just helped me to get my licence, but made me a more confident driver. Thanks again, Henry!
Fantastic experience: Best driving instructor! Helped me conquer my driving anxiety and gave me the skills to be the safest driver I can be. I would 110% recommend.
Fantastic experience: Just three courses I passed the driving test!I can not imagine!I was scared of driving for many years.Especially I need to change to drive on the opposite side of the road.I failed one time before took the class of Henry.He changed totally my way of driving.Thank you so much--not for a driving test,more for me to drive safier and better.
Fantastic experience: I have tried on and off over the years to get my licence with little success. Without access to a car of my own, my biggest problem was a lack of confidence on the roads as I could never build up the experience. Henry was able to work with me to teach me life-long skills, as opposed to just tricks or techniques. I highly recommend him for anyone struggling to learn how to drive or to overcome their anxiety - he is patient, calm and is always able to cut straight through to the problem.
Fantastic experience: I had a two-hour lesson today with Henry, and it was fantastic. I have previously driven only in North America, and though I've been in Sydney for years, I've always been scared about driving on the left side. Henry made it so much easier than I could have imagined. He's extremely calm and confident - exactly the sort of person you want in the passenger seat when you're learning. He was eager to help with the specific issues I wanted to address, and he also quickly identified a number of ways I could improve my driving that I hadn't been aware of. His instructions and tips are clear and easy to remember, and his confidence is somehow infectious. The experience really allowed me to overcome the anxiety I've had for so long about driving here. If you're wondering if it's worth the money, I'd say definitely -- being a good driver is so important, and investing a bit of money for a few good lessons could save your life. Probably a good move even for experienced drivers who just want some expert suggestions and evaluation. I've already signed up to learn how to drive a manual with Henry, and looking forward to it! (Also, he's a really nice guy.)
Fantastic experience: Patient and experienced. The Coach Henry is very knowledgeable in all aspects of low risk driving and vehicle steering. What you learned worth the money you pay.
Fantastic experience: I tried the rest and eventually tried the best, which was Henry Naser. Got my Ps on the first attempt. Henry might charge a bit more, but any other instructor is a false economy, as they will take longer and you won't learn as much. Henry teaches you the skill of driving, which means you can pass the test because that is what it tests, but are also then able to drive with confidence.
Fantastic experience: I am really happy to write the review about Safe2Go as I just got the full license. And a big thank you to the instructor Hendry who is really made this happen. He taught me how drive safe with confidence. His lessons makes full sense of the traffic rules so that I don't really have to memorize the rules. He has removed my anxiety by teaching skills and observation techniques. Today I went for the test with full confidence and got my license and every penny paid for the lessons worth it. Thanks a lot Hendry for you lessons and patience
Fantastic experience: Due to certain circumstances at work I ended up needing to pass my driving test ASAP as a new role I took on came up that involved lots of driving to different locations across the city. Until I passed I was spending at least 3 hours a day on public transport and was really feeling the pressure to pass due to the massive inconvenience of using public transport. Prior to using safe2go I tried another driving school that was cheaper however I felt I was getting no where and not getting the support and instruction I needed in order order to successfully get my license. Luckily, I came across safe2go online and was really impressed with the reviews. Although the sessions are more expensive than other driving schools the quality, experience and professionalism of the school was evident from my first lesson with Henry and it was absolutely worth paying extra for the quality, in depth lessons. Henry, with his professionalism and vast experience took the pressure out of the process of learning to drive and helped me learn to enjoy driving safely. With safe2go you are not just learning enough to pass, Henry taught me skills that will help keep me driving safely for the rest of my life. Throughout the process of learning to drive it was always clear Henry was totally committed to helping me gain the skills I needed and that I was not just 'another lesson' in his week. I have never written a review before but feel obliged to write one on this occasion to show my thanks and appreciation for the guidance and support I received. When I drive now I feel assured, confident and safe and that is all because of the personalized instruction I received. I hope other people read this and make the right decision by deciding to learn with safe2go!
Fantastic experience: I can safely say that Safe2Go not only just shows you the way to pass but definitely will work on improving your driving skills; making you feel very confident and comfortable on the road. Sydney roads having both its pros and cons can be very tricky for a driver who is not familiar with them. When I started the lessons with Safe2Go I had not driven a car for almost 1 year and was not familiar with Sydney roads at all. However with only 5 sessions including the Driving Test day Safe2Go managed to help me pass my DT and improve my driving skills and confidence. Instructor also taught me some very useful techniques for instance like how to parallel park easily. Fees could be a little bit more expensive than other driving schools; but I think it was worth it.
Fantastic experience: Over the years I've had 3 lots of driving instructors and numerous family members and friends try to help me to get over my anxiety and avoidance of driving since receiving my license at age 17. I even tried hypnotherapy! After my child started school I went through a last ditch effort to get my freedom! Thankfully I stumbled on Safe2Go via a Google search. In just 2 lessons I'm on the road independently and it feels amazing!! Henry showed me through excellent practical examples backed by theory that I'd been taught techniques but not integrated essential skills like so many other drivers. Even seasoned drivers could use a refresher by Henry. The roads would certainly be safer for it! You'd be amazed at what you don't know. Don't waste 20 years like me. I'm even happy to be the designated driver now! :)
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended service. After a scare on a motorway I began to have panic attacks every time I drove on a motorway or a highway. It was so overwhelming that I would have to pull over and my partner would have to take over the driving. It was so sudden and none of it made any sense as I had been driving for 20 years with the occasional accident. I never had this type of problem and the scare was so minor. It also meant my employer had to stop me from driving, which was very limiting. I thought there must be someone who specialises in helping drivers overcome anxiety given the number of accidents on the roads. A search of the internet showed my problem was not uncommon. I came acros safe2go. After 3 sessions I was driving on motorways and highways again. I have just finished and I am still building my confidence again but I am able to drive without the panic attacks. The sessions were set to my situation and not just a generic driving lesson. They were not about teaching me the road rules as such but who I operated the car. I discovered part of my problem was simply the way I drove. I feel 10 times more confident and safe when driving. My employer has now put me back on the road and I feel great. I visited a psychologist in addition to the driving sessions (not lessons) which is important to help you deal with the anxiety. If you have a problem with driving and feeling anxious in situation I highly recommend safe2go. Recognise you have a problem early enough and do something about it. It is not worth struggling with.
Fantastic experience: I recently moved to Australia and had to convert my overseas driver license to a NSW driver license.. Had a 2 hours lesson with Henry on 30.09.2012 (of which only 15 minutes involved driving and to be honest I felt that it wasn't really effective at that point) and took my driving test today on 02.10.2012. Passed with flying colours!! I can't thank Henry enough, initially I thought it wasn't really of any help but during the real test I realized how much he actually helped me! I definitely would have failed if I hadn't taken that lesson. Thanks a lot again Henry!!
Fantastic experience: NOT just another driving school in Sydney. Introduced by google in May, just as their name suggests, they emphasize safety. I have a driving license from 2 countries and 20 years of driving, but had to redo my driving test in Australia. I had subdued reservations and was reluctant to repeat the test, and did not wholeheartedly feel the need to get a license here since public transport was convenient. Safe2go allowed me to confront my inner fears and insecurities until I was confident and comfortable to drive anywhere. At Safe2go, it was evident that I was not just a customer with potential revenue. I found them caring, concerned and friendly. There was no cut-throat competition here, just individualized, tailored lessons titrated to reach your level of competence and confidence. Learning a skill is never easy. I believe the learning curve is different for everyone. There is no set number of lessons to limit yourself. You grow as you go and eventually you will know when you are ready. I found my instructor professional, passionate, practical and focused. They set very strict and high standards, and detect any flaws or improper habits both known and unknown to yourself. Their meticulous attention to detail teaches you not just to pass, but to excel. They equipped me with the tools and skills to succeed, anticipate and react. My instructor dedicated himself to resolving any issues or problems I had driving, and did everything in his power to increase my understanding and make me feel comfortable, adept and confident. Acqaintances may think that with my experience, I had too many “driving lessons”, but I think of them as “safety lessons”. I passed the test 2-3 months later. Highly recommended for anyone with or without a license, who wants to polish, improve and refine their driving skills.
