“It helped me deal and recognise my anxieties amd cause. I was given tools to use when feeling anxious of which there were many which I hopefully will bring into my daily life”
Counsellor Paula (CBT)
"I have suffered with anxiety and OCD for most of my adult life, but have always just accepted “ this is how I am”. It was only when a friend recommended Cognitive Behavioural Therapy that I decided I had nothing to lose - I didn’t realise then that it would be one of the best decisions I ever made! CBT is a great way to help overcome anxiety because while Paula taught me the techniques and gave me the tools to tackle my anxiety, ultimately I had to put what I’d learnt into practice - it empowered ME to make the positive changes to my life. Paula helped me to finally see that the way my brain works isn’t “stupid” or something I just have to live with; I can challenge the way I think and improve my life so that I control my anxiety, not the other way round! The CBT was so successful that I made the decision to tackle my fear of flying; with help from Paula and CBT techniques, I have just taken my first flight in 17 years! This was something I never would’ve imagined I could overcome before I started CBT, and so I can truly say CBT has been life-changing for me. I would recommended CBT and Paula to absolutely anyone."

Counsellor: Paula / October 2017
"Cognitive Behavioural Therapy has helped me gain a better understanding of why I worry and the effects of it. I have developed strategies that are bespoke and work for me. Some subjects were awkward for me to discuss and Paula was clearly non-judgemental."
Counsellor: Paula
"Paula has provided incredibly helpful preventative measures, and therapy has allowed me to identify triggers and symptoms. I feel as though I have developed strategies through which to both manage and effectively combat what has been severe bouts of depression. Through engaged discourse and a warm environment, the therapy has been a perspective altering experience. A huge thank you Paula for the support and throughout this process. THANK YOU! It has truly given me confidence moving forward."

"Learning coping strategies like relaxation techniques and rationalising situations has helped me’. I can be more open with people now about things that are bothering me. I have been able to work on unhelpful behaviours."
Counsellor: Paula
"Paula put me at ease the first time I saw her, she gave me an excellent service. I was so depressed I never thought I could see a light at the end of the tunnel but after a few short weeks Paula helped me see there was a light it was just finding the right path to take, to get here. So once again I just want to say a Big Thank You"
