I suffered a mental breakdown in 2021 suffering terribly with anxiety and depression as well as having physical symptoms. I was referred by my manager to NHS Scotland Occupational Health Counselling Service.
My counsellor was Hannah who was just amazing she was very empathic and gave me plenty of time to talk over issues, gave me lots of techniques to use to help me. I could not have got through those very difficult days without her.
She stayed with me through this challenging time in my life for some time. she contacted me regularly for a whole year giving me more tools to use in times of stress, and if I find I'm giving myself a hard time now I remember the words she said to me, 'leave yourself alone', it really settles me she's just fabulous.
It was later discovered that this had all happened because I was at the age stage of having menopause which explained a lot of the issues I was dealing with.
I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart for her kindness and exceptional skill supporting me through one of the most challenging times of my life. Thank you ever so much Hannah
