"Health Anxiety"

About: Adult Psychological Therapy Services (APTS) / Northern Sector (Old Bridge house)

(as a service user),

I got help through CBT in Derry when i got diagnosed with health anxiety early 2023. 

My health anxiety reach an all time low to the point where I couldn’t go into shops and other places without feeling dizzy, used many ‘safety behaviours’ everywhere i went. It affected my life massively, preventing me to do things that i would do all the time. But thanks to CBT and Julie, them experiences almost feel like a distant memory. I now find myself doing many more things/activities that i would never have done when my anxiety was at it’s highest. I spent more time with friends/family again started training again, booked holidays and genuinely just feel back to my old self. 

I will be forever in your debit Julie!

Dear Kevinnnn

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the care and treatment you have received whilst attending appointments with Julie.

I am delighted that you are more able to do things that you used to enjoy and that you are feeling like your old self again.

We all wish you well for the future and I will pass on your feedback to Julie who I know will be delighted by your progress.

take care
