The following are just a few of the comments clients have made about their experience of therapy.

Therapy changed my life

"Excellent experience overall; very helpful, life changing."
 

"Well I started thinking the only way I would measure my success would be literally with tape measures and scales, but my values there have changed.  Again it’s difficult to answer, because I feel so changed now that who I used to be is a dim and distant memory!

Sounds a bit vague to say ‘Therapy has changed my life,’ but that’s what it boils down to.

Binges aren’t a way of coping for me now, so the initial issue has been dealt with. But if it wasn’t for learning how to see straight in all areas of my life I’m confident that I wouldn’t have made the changes with my work, or with relationships at home, with other people or felt as solid as I do about what I want and what makes me tick.  I suppose I look at what is present in my life now that wasn’t there before, and believe that the work done has helped me make this happen."

"Thank you for helping me grow and helping me to change my life!"

 

New perspective

 "I have learned so much about myself and grew along the way"

"[What was most helpful was] the  learning about myself and learning to how to read my own body and to look into myself to see how things are affecting me and for me to actually acknowledge my feelings rather then just to bury them under the surface."

"I have enjoyed having the space and freedom to discuss anything and everything.  I feel each session left me with a new perspective on an event in my life, or a renewed enthusiasm for the progress I had been making."

 "When I first came in, I felt very lost in myself and could’ve quite easily disappeared, both physically and mentally, just to escape with the things that were happening around me. In the time that I spent in sessions I learnt how to deal with the external forces that were bringing me down and causing me to act out in a violent manner. I now feel that I’m able to control myself more and not be affected as much."

More than Expected

"I came to therapy to better understand myself and my issues. It did exactly that and more."

"It helped me more than I expected. I found that your approach was the right one me, the most suitable. I really enjoyed the way you work."

"I don’t think I was expecting anything specific, I was more fixed on ‘here is something else to throw at the problem’ and probably didn’t have a lot of faith in ‘just talking’ to begin with. My initial objective was to simply stop binging, but this quickly changed into ‘feel happy and balanced’ which I have definitely achieved."
 

"The sessions meet all my objectives, in that I finished feeling a whole lot better about myself.  I have the feeling of being human again!"

How it felt to be in 'session'

"My concerns and thoughts were accepted and listened to as well as challenged, when appropriate, in a manner that allowed me to work through them at my own pace."

"comfortable, safe and engaging"

"Reliable, fulfilling, flexible and eye-opening"

"My overall experience has been a very pleasant and relaxed one."

The benefits of therapy

 "Priceless."

 "I feel like I have qualitatively changed my outlook in a number of ways and reassessed some core beliefs."

"A much needed beginning toward something good."

"For me the benefits have been huge. Initially when I first came, I was very sceptical and didn’t know how it would help or even if it would help. But by talking about things that were happening to me, I was able to get things 1. out in the open, 2. able to have myself reflect back at me. Which has been a new experience and has taught me a great deal about myself and has given been more confidence in myself."
 

"keep up the great work, you have been my saviour!"

"Excellent, I have found the sessions very helpful and useful in understanding myself and improving how I understand myself and especially how I deal with other people and how I can not allow others to affect “my world.”

"I no longer feel like a miserable spectator of my own life…I’m full of life and enjoying it.  I feel like I have the strength to cope with all that life brings. That’s immeasurable!"
