Review titled Amazing service!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Louise James - Posted on 07 February 2024
I have recently received 4 sessions of cbt with a great practitioner from dhc Talking Therapies. I was apprehensive at first but was quickly put at ease. I now feel I have some great tools in my toolkit and feel so much more positive about life and the challenges I might face in the future. The programme was easy to follow and the guides/ videos were amazing to keep referring to. My anxieties will never go completely as that is part of life but I now feel I no longer let them control me. Thank you for all your help and support.

Review titled Diabolical assessment
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 February 2024
Having seen my gp for depression I started on anti-depressants, I also referred to talking therapies as suggested by my gp. The tablets eliminated the depression but casued me have anxiety instead. The therapy appointment came though within a month and I was to have a 45 min telephone assessment. I filled in the online questionaire which now I was on medication scored very low. The very polite and well spoken person stated my scores were low, I explained the medication had resolved the initial issue yet needed to address the causes. The assessor explained there were 2 choices to pick from, I made one. Rather than the assessment start the person stated that the one I picked had a longer wait possibly many months. As the medication I had started would have to be for many months I replied that was fine go ahead with the assessment. The assessor again asked if I wanted to proceed but explained I could also refer to M I N D instead or at the same time as talking therapies. I explained why I preferred the N H S and again was asked do I want to go ahead with the assessment. After being sent in circles 3 times when asked if I wanted to go ahead I now felt stressed, angry and anxious. Politely I replied that I did not feel the assessor felt I was ill enough and that they did not want to complete the assessment, I then put the telephone down after 20 minutes achieving nothing.

Review titled Effective and personalised
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sophy - Posted on 23 February 2024
Having recently completed 7 sessions of one-to-one talking therapy for my health anxiety, I am compelled to share my positive experience. The therapy was profoundly impactful in addressing my specific needs. Firstly, the therapist deserves special mention for her exceptional listening skills and empathetic approach. Each session felt like a safe space where I could openly discuss my anxieties without any judgment. This level of understanding and care was instrumental in helping me navigate through my challenges. What stood out to me was the ‘comprehensive toolbox’ provided by the therapist. These practical strategies and techniques are tailored to my personal situation, making them incredibly relevant and effective. Applying these tools to my daily life has been a game changer, allowing me to confront and manage situations that would have previously triggered anxiety. The most significant outcome of these sessions has been the noticeable reduction in my anxiety levels. It’s a relief to see such a marked improvement over a relatively short period. This progress has been a testament to the therapist’s expertise and the efficacy of the therapy. Thank you!

Review titled Quickly passed over and then no help
by Anonymous - Posted on 23 March 2024
After my first evaluation I was referred to a different clinic, after being advised the current one could not and would not help me, new clinic tried to call I was at work, I tried to call back and nobody ever answered or helped so I’ve now been left after 10 long weeks of waiting with no help and in a worse mental state than before. The nhs clearly have no interest in helping.

Review titled Really helped me a lot
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Robin Richardson - Posted on 29 February 2024
I was treated for low mood and stress, I'm very much better after the course of therapy. You do have to read and do "Homework", engage and interact which was fine with me particularly as I got very noticeable improvements of my symptoms. The therapist was professional / friendly and understanding

Review titled Still waiting!!!!
Rated 1 star out of 5

Referred 20 weeks ago and still nowhere near seeing a counsellor. This service is of limited value if despite a GP driving the referral the medication prescribed cannot be supported by therapy.

Review titled Excellent counselling
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 October 2023
I was treated for depression via zoom. My counsellor could not have been kinder or more supportive and was really great at picking up on past issues that have made me feel the way I do. At the same time I was given a diagnosis of ADHD and underlying autism, which I found hard to deal with, and my counsellor really helped me feel so much better. There were six sessions of counselling, and everyone added value. The delay in being given the treatment would be my only criticism.

I found the course to be very relevant to my anxiety concerns and their insight gave me the tools to manage them.

Review titled Amazing Experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jacqueline - Posted on 27 September 2023
I attended 4 sessions of CBT counselling for depression. I didn't think 4 sessions would help at all, but I was wrong. My counsellor was fantastic and tailored, within the structure, the CBT for me. I have come a way clearer and with tools to help me should I find myself slipping back. I would really recommend this service to you if you are wanting to work towards helping yourself feel better. I can't recommend my counsellor highly enough. They really did listen and understand. Thank you to all.

Review titled Rubbish, no phone signal to talk and then ghosted
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Clare - Posted on 01 September 2023
Went through the initial assessment, the lady who phoned to discuss whether I would like CBT or counselling was very nice but had no phone signal so ended up having to email me the info for each (not ideal for “talking” therapies…) I had to text to say I’d like counselling as I have cancer and feel like I need it, heard nothing for weeks and no reply asking for an update
