‘I went to therapy because I had completely lost my confidence in doing day-to-day things and at work. I had no self-respect, I was sad and down and I just wanted life to end, but I never felt I could actually take my own life so would just wish I would die in an accident at times. I am a very sceptical person and I didn’t think I would ever be the “type” to see a therapist. But I needed to try it, I wanted to find a way to help me cope with the stresses of life, treat myself better and enjoy life more. I took it seriously and I was surprised how much it helped me.
Joanne was very friendly and so easy to talk to. It made it much easier for me to offload sensitive information. She is very knowledgeable and explained everything so well. Therapy has changed my thought processes, and I feel it has made me more confident, have more self-respect and ultimately made me much happier.’
