Self-referral video guides

My therapist was a very caring professional lady; I had full trust and confidence in her from my very first session. She gave me her full support.

I would like to thank you for your help over these past few months. I admire you for the work you do in helping others in hard times. You alone have made me feel proud again to be a Veteran and to be able to talk about my military career. I am a front line soldier and always will be.

I thought my therapist was excellent. He helped me to identify and face my worries, anxieties and concerns. He provided and suggested techniques and strategies to help me to deal with them. He has helped me to improve the quality of my life. I have had every faith in him and owe him a great deal. I am going to try my best to continue to apply these strategies to all aspects of my life and control my worrying. I would have no hesitation in recommending your excellent service to anyone with anxieties. Many thanks to my therapist and your excellent service.

Having been referred to Talking Therapies for therapy after years of suffering with panic attacks, my therapist has been very understanding, helpful and most of all committed to helping me to overcome my difficulties with anxiety. I would recommend anyone who is in a similar situation to access therapy sooner rather than later.

My therapist identified triggers that set off the panic. She identified unhealthy rules I was living by and encouraged me to adopt new healthy rules and know the triggers. She encouraged me to challenge my upsetting thoughts.

CBT has helped me to start enjoying my life again by controlling my anxiety and worry so that it is now more manageable. I was checking my 11 month old son up to 28 times per night as I was scared ‘something bad’ might happen to him. CBT therapy has helped me to reduce these checking behaviours to 3 times per night. CBT takes hard work and determination but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Never give up.
