Therapy has given me a better quality of life

"Therapy has given me a better quality of life"

About: Community Mental Health Teams (CMHT) / Whiteabbey CMHT

(as a service user),

I recently finished brief intervention therapy with Chris in Oakview House.

I found these sessions very beneficial. Chris was easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable, not only has he taught me a lot about understanding my mental health but he has equipped me with a number of tools to manage my OCD tendencies and encouraged me to challenge myself.

Whilst I still have a long way to go and am being referred on, this brief time I have spent with Chris has given me a better quality of life.
