I always felt supported

Posted By Miss sunshine

"I always felt supported"

About: Adult mental health / Talking Therapies Walsall

(as a service user),

I suffered at the hands of my father for years until I became an adult. It started when I was 6 years old and it has left me with PTSD, anxiety and depression, I found it impossible to move forward with my life. Therapy has helped me massively.

I now have the tools to help me remain calm i have faced the difficult things that i had boxed away i now feel i have my spark back since therapy. My therapist was a lovely lady called Tracey, she was so calm gave me chance to talk and helped me so much i will forever be grateful for her help support and advice.

I never felt rushed in my sessions and always felt supported i am now able to smile again and looking forward to my future.

Hello Miss sunshine,

Thank you so much for sharing your powerful and deeply personal journey. It’s heartening to hear how therapy has helped you reclaim your sense of calm and rediscover your spark.

Knowing that you’re now able to smile again and look forward to the future is incredibly moving. Thank you again for your openness.

I have passed your feedback on to the service manager, who can pass this on to Tracey.

Kind regards,

James Lowe
