A safe welcoming space, where I felt comfortable to express my thoughts. I felt listened to and guided appropriately through gentle challenging that aided me to my own conclusions. It has made a very positive impact on my life and moving forward.
I felt at ease from the start of the sessions. It (counselling/psychotherapy) made me look at myself from a different perspective, which made it easier for me to help myself.
Despite my problems being numerous and my mind being 'all over the place', I felt my counsellor managed to 'keep up with me' and enabled me to make some sense of what was happening and enabled me to find my own solutions.
It is essential to attend these sessions with a completely open mind. Any preconceived ideas of what to expect will go flat. The counsellor will not always be right, and neither will you. It’s down to opinion again.
I felt a positive shift in my feelings, some good, some bad, but ultimately making me realise I needed to do the counselling/psychotherapy to help me move forward.
