'My therapist has been amazing. I felt I was talking to him as a person/friend and my feelings were understood and validated. He ensured I understood what was being said and anything I didn't he'd explain. I can't fault my phonecalls with him and it has helped me more than words can say.'
'I have had a really positive experience with my therapist ,she has been very patient and understanding. At the end of each session my therapist has always made sure that I'm feeling ok . I have also found any resources used in a session she has sent to me which is really helpful as I have information I can refer to when I need it which I have never had with other therapy in the past. I would recommend this service. Thank you .'

'My therapist was very understanding and explained herself clearly. This is the first therapy I have had that was based on facts rather than thoughts or beliefs which helped me to learn more about myself and the struggles I face.

I have confidently returned to work after 4 weeks off and feel confident that I have a better understanding of stress management going forward! My group were all brave and we bonded so well and the therapists were simply amazing. Thank you.'

'I have found the CBT therapy extremely helpful. My therapist showed me empathy and was relatable. She gave good advice and listened.
Going through this therapy, it's Identified to me that I still have some work to do on the past trauma that's not been dealt with. '
'Incredibly helpful and made me understand a lot of the patterns I have and ways to counteract them. '
'My therapist was absolutely wonderful. I feel we had a really good connection. I was typically jokey and bubbly and she could tell when something bothered me because of the change in my behaviour. She took an approach which was very specific to my needs and I actually looked forward to the sessions. If I could've kept talking to her weekly with no limitation on appointment numbers I would've. Such a shame that we'd barely scratched the surface when the sessions came to an end. This was simply because I struggled with opening up and my mental health had so many layers to it. I'm very grateful and will be coming back in a few months for more therapy! Thank you for giving me the courage to talk about my mental health! '

'My therapist has been absolutely amazing. She is patient, caring, and always listens to me. Her approach has helped me cope with my PTSD in the best way possible, and I've made significant progress. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space, and I truly feel supported in my healing. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking help.'
'Very grateful to have been able to have access to this service'
'My therapist has been one of the best people I have had the pleasure of dealing with and so far the only one who has been able to help me. I can't thank you enough. Very professional, courteous and just took his time and let me do what I needed when I was ready.'
'I started my therapy shortly after completing a group PTSD course. My therapist had recognised from my symptoms that I displayed signs of chronic post traumatic stress disorder which was having a negative impact on my quality of life. He went through regular EMDR Therapy with me to enable me to process past trauma, through this therapy I was able to process my trauma which allowed me to experience life as it is today instead of living life through my past trauma. This allowed me to start enjoying the things I used to enjoy such as going out and socialising, exercising and spending time with my family.'
I would highly recommend this therapy it's had such an impact on my life and Christopher was so supportive and did things at a pace that suited me. He was so understanding of my needs and ensured to check in with me throughout the process'
'Very good service! My therapist managed to help me focus on my goals and work out ways of helping me to feel like myself again! '
'I am glad that I took the big step to contact your services, this is the first time of ever using your services or having any therapy myself, the hardest thing I have done. I am happy that I did as I feel that talking to someone has made me open up about my difficulties and helped me through my depression to feel good about myself again. My therapist has been amazing and I wouldn't of wanted anyone else, she was very understanding listened to me, watched me cry and helped me through it all, has been my rock through the last through months, helped me understand and how too deal with my difficulties. I would like to thank you for your services. I would recommend your services to anyone who needs to talk about there problems.'
'My therapist has been extremely helpful and understanding in my health anxiety. She has given me tools and ways to think about my health anxiety episodes and fears. I really appreciate everything she has helped me unpick and feel calmer, clearer about it.'
'I really appreciate the time spent with my therapist and I feel that he has helped me significantly and I felt comfortable opening up to him about a range of topics and we worked through them together. I feel better placed to continue to move forward.'
'I couldn't speak more highly of my experience with my therapist. He had a great ability to connect with myself as a young person whilst maintaining a very confident, professional outlook on my treatment. I was unsure going into my therapy sessions whether or not I would benefit from them as I would typically not have spoken about issues with my mental health in the past but my therapist made the experience very comfortable and brought out in me the ability to recognise what I was going through and manage it effectively. Since my treatment started I think I have made noticeable improvements week on week, finally now at a point where I feel ready to tackle the rest of my life with skills I've developed through my sessions. I wish my therapist the very best in his career and I hope he's able to connect with many more young people, bringing out the very best in them.'
'My therapist was lovely and very attentive to what I was saying, ensuring he was providing the best help given. My answers are nothing to reflect him or his methods, this is down to this form of therapy not being specific enough to help me navigate my troubles .'
'In all honesty, I was sceptical about Mindfulness and the associated treatments, but having gone through the CBT course, with the support provided, I am now an advocate of the process and it has helped me completely. The support given by my Supporter has been awesome and whilst I know I still have to work to keep myself on track, I have been given the tools to attempt to do this. '
'My therapist was very understanding, helpful and encouraging.I really enjoyed working with her, thank you so much for your help and support.'
'My therapists were polite, professional and considerate to all on the course (not just myself). My one to one today showed me how amazing she is at her role, her understanding and ability to grasp which tools were needed at the right time shows how knowledgable she is within this role. A big thank you goes to both of them for all the help and support they have provided.'
'Many thanks and appreciation to my practitioner -very helpful, engaging and attentive. Overall the CBT for my insomnia has been positive and has improved things even if it wasn't a magic bullet cure-all! I have learned several techniques that i will continue to apply so a useful service. '
'My therapist was very well spoken, showed understanding and compassion, and the process used were fully explained in an easy to follow format. '
