"Amazing Service and Wonderful Therapist!"

After experiencing symptoms of OCD, I self-referred to Lambeth Talking Therapies. However, my therapist realised I was also experiencing symptoms of PTSD and advocated for my care, tailoring her approach accordingly. She consistently went above and beyond to support me, and I felt truly felt valued and heard for the first time in my life.

She created a wonderful and supportive safe space that was professional yet personalised to my needs. A space where I felt able to share things I didn’t think I’d ever be able to speak to anyone about, namely the domestic violence i'd experienced. I wouldn’t ever have been able to do this if it weren’t for her patience, knowledge, and kindness. She used language that was sensitive to the situation, and I never once felt pressured into talking about something I didn’t want to.

My therapist always took my concerns, experiences, and feelings seriously, and never made me feel shame or embarrassment around the problems I was facing. She listened intently while providing an excellent level of service to help me live a better quality of life and deconstruct my trauma.

She helped me identify areas that were deeply affecting my self-worth and understanding of the world around me, while giving unconditional support and encouragement to relive some traumatic memories that were having a profound impact on my life, almost like my own personal cheerleader!

I started therapy carrying an extreme weight of shame, avoidance, and confusion about the abuse that happened to me. Over the 16 sessions we had, for the first time in my life, the care I received has began to lift the cloud of shame. I started to believe that what happened to me was real and that it wasn’t my fault, something that had weighed on me for a large part of my life. I left feeling lighter and empowered to utilise therapy again in the future, along with a set of tools to continue helping me move forward with my life.

The support I received has been truly life-changing, and I would highly recommend Lambeth Talking Therapies to anyone who might be struggling with their mental health or even considering therapy. The quality of care and service I received was wonderful. Thank you so much!!
