Review titled Starting to progress
by Martyn Head - Posted on 17 July 2024
My experience was very positive and helped me focus on the plan and not the mood. It also helped me see how my thinking patterns had become distorted into a spiral of negativity that was feeding my depression. The therapist was helpful because they were able to respond to my issues, needs, and thinking as well as keeping to the agenda of the therapeutic approach. If I had a criticism it would be that half an hour is not quite long enough. I am very grateful to my therapist for supporting me in taking the first steps towards recovery and identifying potential way forwards with alternative therapeutic support. The sessions certainly made a difference and I feel much more optimistic about dealing with the ups and downs of my future Much appreciated! Thankyou.

I found the treatment very beneficial. The staff were very nice and accomodating. The only improvement would be to speed up the waiting times

Review titled Fantastic
by Wayne - Posted on 23 May 2024
Had a lot of uncontrollable stress and worries and felt like there's no end, I wish that I went for help a lot sooner. I was to embarrassed and proud to ask for help but from the assessment and therapist there was no judgement. If your suffering ask for help you want regret it. Thank you to my therapist and rest of the team.

Review titled Interesting and helpful
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 June 2024
The course itself is comprehensive, with lots of ideas to support anyone who has worries, anxiety, stress, or simply feeling like the can't cope. I have found it difficult to cope with various stresses over the past couple of years, and have taken quite a few positive ideas away from the course. Some of it did not register with me, but there are plenty of ideas and exercises, so I'm pretty certain that wherever people may be on the stress scale, they will take away something useful. Most helpful was the reminder that it's not a bad thing to have worries, but try not to overthink or catastraphise. It was also very helpful to have a dedicated supporter, whose comments and advice I found to be intuitive and directly applicable to my situation. My advice would be - if you have worries, go for it!

Review titled Very supportive service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kerry - Posted on 28 June 2024
I had my initial triage within a very short time frame and was perfectly matched to a Therapist that was very supportive in working collaboratively in order for me to reach my goals and identify the best way to achieve this. My therapist was amazing and I am very grateful to her for assisting me to navigate my way through a difficult period. The techniques that were used have been life changing for me.

Review titled Life-changing
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I was really impressed with this service and my therapist in particular. The clinic is very well organised and communication is great. My therapist was very kind, totally non-judgmental and attentive. I felt my worries weren't worthy of free NHS therapy and felt embarassed to talk about them, but came to the service because they were affecting my life so negatively. And I'm so glad I did. The tools I've learnt have made a dramatic difference to how I feel and can be reapplied to my life going forward. I really feel CBT is something everyone should be taught at school.
