I felt comfortable speaking about my problems and benefitted from coming up with an outcome I agreed on. Thanks.

The service has helped me so much, from feeling despair to having some confidence is an amazing feeling. I am so glad that I took my friend's advice and telephoned. It has helped me change my life.

I learned techniques to help cope and deal with everything. Techniques I can use in my day to day life. I trust my therapist.

The support I received has been invaluable. I have moved through not only tremendous grief, but other issues relating to the loss of my husband. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Listening, understanding, non-judgemental, open and caring.

It was local to me, and worked around me, really lovely counsellor.

Opportunity to go through my experiences and for them to be understood.

My therapist was really supportive and informative on each session. I never felt judged and always felt I was able to open up to her with my problems to get the best results for my mental wellbeing. Really pleased CBT is there as it has really helped with my coping techniques.

I’ve learned a lot about myself and it’s really helped focusing on me rather than just past traumas.
