"My therapist"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as the patient),

Kevin was a lovely therapist who made me feel heard and seen without telling me what to think or what to do. He was professional but personable and made me feel comfortable to express whatever feelings I had, whether that was directed at him or the reason I started therapy.

Even in moments of discomfort, he created a safe space to feel big emotions and to even cry on the few too many occasions the tears began to fall. He was patient and kind. He pushed me in a positive manner to try new techniques to reach my goals. There were times of annoyance on my part because I didn’t want to try anymore or felt uncomfortable but he never made me feel at fault for that. He simply acknowledged and accepted that it was tough and wasn’t patronising.

We were able to have moments of laughter within the difficult sessions which made things easier. I appreciate all the help he provided and it was a bittersweet moment to end our sessions. I am grateful for the time I had with my therapist.

Hello ospreyhx98,

Thank you for taking the time to share you feedback of your experience with Inclusion Thurrock Talking Therapies.

I am pleased to hear that Kevin was able to create a tailored, professional, safe space for you, where you felt understood and comfortable sharing your feelings/experiences.

From what you have shared, Kevin was able to build a strong therapeutic relationship with you; where patience and kindness was given. It sounds like, Kevin was able to guide you and support you through the difficult sessions, by holding space for that vulnerability. This led to a positive experience with your therapist where you felt acknowledged and accepted. It is so important that clients’ feel heard and seen by their therapist and it seems Kelvin was able to adequately do so, for you.

Your kind words are greatly appreciated and we will let Kevin know of the amazing feedback and impact he has had on you.

I hope that your experience will encourage others to share their story with us at Inclusion Thurrock Talking Therapies.

All the best,

Taffy
