Review titled Excellent Services and Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 June 2025
My therapist was very experienced and supportive. The therapy was very informative which helped me to come out from the situations at most of the time. I confronted trauma had self realisations and learnt strategies to help improve my mental health. I would recommend this service to anyone who is struggling or in need of some support and would encourage them to trust the process and engage properly to get the most out of the sessions.

Review titled There is no shame in asking for help
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 June 2025
It’s crazy to think while writing this where I’ve came from in the last 6 weeks or so. Honestly I use to think by tackling things on your own accord was the best thing to do and didn’t wanna be considered “weak” asking for help. I was in a very bad place which was noticeable from friends and family and kept myself so distant to the stage I started to struggle socializing again. Again reading back on this makes me so proud on how far I’ve come and that is all thanks to Croydon talking therapies. If you’re going through hell right now and at rock bottom there is no harm or shame in seeking help. Please you are not alone, I thought I was but I wasn’t.

Review titled Great programme
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I was nervous at first to talk to a therapist, but in the end I am glad that I did it. Talking therapies have been super helpful in providing the tools to manage my negative thoughts and cope with my anxiety.

Review titled Really Helpful
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jenny - Posted on 02 June 2025
I am very glad that I was able to access this service. My therapist was insightful, empathetic and helpful and even though the therapy was challenging and confronting at points he made me feel supported and safe. I confronted trauma had self realisations and learnt strategies to help improve my mental health . I would recommend this service to anyone who is struggling or in need of some support and would encourage them to trust the process and engage properly to get the most out of the sessions. The message is that they aren’t there to judge or fix but to help you to understand , re frame and use this knowledge to help yourself .

Review titled Game changer
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 April 2025
The talking therapies service has been a real game changer for me. I have never had the opportunity to unpick such ingrained thinking patterns and behaviours that I have always just assumed were personality traits and something that was just 'me' being me, an anxious and insecure person. Being able to talk openly in a safe and welcoming weekly meeting has been significant in itself. However the proactiveness of working towards goals has really meant I have stayed focused and determined to embrace subtle changes that are now contributing to creating major shifts in my life. I would recommend this service to anyone that wants to be proactive and take back some control that anxiety and depression can so often rob oneself of.

Review titled guidance and support
by Rose-Marie - Posted on 28 April 2025
Thank you to my therapist for her guidance and support. She has helped me to look at situations differently and understand where I am in life. The closing of our last session, she left me with tools and a awareness not to return to where I once was. This is a chapter in my life, I will take away with me and continue to grow positively.

Review titled Excellent service
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 May 2025
I self referred due to high anxiety caused by a situation I was in work wise, and Luckily for me, I had an amazing therapist. I went in with an open mind to learn techniques for managing the anxiety, and I got exactly what I asked for. I also got someone who listened and could tailor my session to what was happening each week. With the help of my therapist, I can move forward knowing that of my anxiety spikes, I have the coping strategies to deal with it. Anxiety for me is currently a work in progress, due to the reason it started, but for now its managable, I have even begun to get back to who I am. I am so glad I self referred when I did, and would definitley self refer again if I felt the need to.

Review titled I learnt so much!
by Seamas - Posted on 22 April 2025
I came into this off the back of high anxiety levels, excessive worry and panic attacks. I felt completely overwhelmed and dominated by my worries. Everything felt like an insurmountable problem, and i couldn't break out of thought patterns that made this worse. In fact I didn't even know that my thought patterns were contributing to it at all. The techniques and tools that I learned over the 8 weeks have helped me so much. I understand these thought patterns now, and how to better cope with them. CBT helped me so much, if you're willing to commit and put the effort into it. Your therapist can show you how, it's YOU that has the power to put it into action

Review titled It's not easy but it's worth it
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 April 2025
For you to get the best out of it, you need to commit to being open and committing time to the tasks you're given. I wasn't sure what to expect as although I've had therapy before, I've never done CPD. Although you may not see it to begin with, there's a method to the tasks you're set and the end goal. Sure, there are things I won't remember however more importantly, there are lessons I've learned that I have and will continue to integrate into my day to day. So glad I committed to doing it.
