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 Game changer
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by John Wilson - Posted on 27 April 2024
For me the therapy was a learning process that I had not done or spoken about before which changed things in my life for the better I am still practicing the techniques taught to me at my meetings.

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.

Pleasant experience which I thought initially would have been not as successful but here is to everyone who feels sceptical at first to give it a go! Great to work when it suits you and at any time.

Review titled Rewarding and life changing CBT
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Beth thomas - Posted on 24 March 2024
My course of CBT has been truly life changing. After struggling with anxiety my whole life it has been so rewarding to actually sit down and address my issues in a relaxed, empathetic and friendly way. My therapist was so wonderful, kind, intelligent and understanding. She went above and beyond to help me get my head around the basics of CBT, to give me encouragement and helpful advice, whilst nurturing me to explore things in my own. I would recommend this service to anyone that struggles with forms of anxiety and depression and want to particularly shout of my therapist for being so brilliant. I’m so lucky to live in a country that provides this service for free for those in need.

It was an absolutely amazing CBT done with my therapist she was really engaging and motivating. The results I got with even the first session was life changing. It got my thinking changed totally to what it was. My anxiety has gone down significantly to a point I don't even notice it anymore. I am able to handle things better! My life is back to normal and I am doing all the things I enjoy ! She really helped me to see my strength in a new light. I cannot thank my therapist enough! It was absolutely 💯 amazing. Thank you so much. Highly recommended..
