Review titled OCD CBT Therapy
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 April 2024
After finding out I was pregnant, I became very anxious and fell into a really dark place. I really wasn't enjoying my pregnancy and my midwife recommended I speak to Talking Therapies. After initial consultation, I've recently completed an intense CBT course to support my OCD. Before pregnancy, I knew I had slight OCD tendancies, but the course has allowed me to understand those behaviors and to start to fight back against them, allowing me to regain my life. I know I still have work to do, but I genuinely think it changed my life. My therapist was brilliant - he provided a safe space to share my deepest thoughts. These were feelings I hadn't ever shared even to my husband. I really liked how my therapist gave me lots of models which helps me understand OCD, but we also identified homework each week so that I could continue to work on improving outside of the sessions. I really recommend that anyone in a similar situation gets this support and I will be forever grateful for my therapist for supporting me through this period of my life.

Review titled Great Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sydney Schubert - Posted on 05 April 2024
A Professional yet friendly service that showed great understanding and depth to reveal the issues and at the same time encourage me to lift me out of my current state of mind to help me move forward in what is clearly a very mad and twisted and unfair world; however we have regained our sanity and a correct balance of what matters in life. This is all thanks to the guidance and direction I received in the sessions I was lead through each week.

Review titled Excellent Therapy
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jane - Posted on 27 February 2024
I received a course of guided self-help based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I had 6 sessions with my therapist and I feel I connected with her from our 1st session. She made me feel relaxed, I was comfortable talking to her and I never felt that anything I said she thought was silly or stupid in anyway. She was very friendly, understanding and explained everything. Some of my initial thoughts on some of the things were 'this isn't going to work for me' or 'I feel ridiculous doing this' but honestly I tried everything and surprisingly (to me at the time) they worked. I don't like feeling anxious and worrying all the time, so I did want it to work and I tried all the things that was suggested to me. I found what worked for me and I believe I will go forward continuing to use the strategies I worked on and that helped me. I know I will always be a worrier but having things in place that I know can help me get through the times when it all seem to be piling up is a good feeling to have. I would definitely recommend the service and already have to Family and Friends, I think we can all use a helping hand sometimes in our life and we shouldn't be afraid to ask for that support to help us through harder times.

Review titled Compassionate, constructive course
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I had a 7 week course of CBT on stress and intrusive thoughts. The therapist was brilliant and tailored it perfectly. I really improved my anxiety over the course by analysing my fears and looking at them rationally.
