"An outstanding therapist"

About: Adult Psychological Therapies Service / Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

(as a service user),

I have been doing CBT with Katie this past few months.

Katie is an outstanding therapist, who knows her line of work very well.

From the minute I spoke to her she made me feel very at ease, comfortable & confident in being able to talk and express my feelings and thoughts to her.

They way Katie can explain feelings, emotions and also physical symptoms is on a different level and it really helps a person going through this to see why these certain things are happening.

Katie has taught me many coping strategies, including breathing techniques, thoughts & facts and understanding that there is a way through anxiety/health anxiety.

I feel like I now look at anxiety/health anxiety through a different lens.

I would like to thank Katie for her time, professionalism and her kind ways for all she has done for me.

Take care.

Dear Rose66,

Thank you for taking the time to share this lovely, positive story.

I will share your comments with Katie and the wider CBT team.

You obviously committed to the treatment process and took on board the skills learnt in session, applying them to your daily life! It is fantastic to hear you see and feel the benefit.

Katie and the team would like to wish you all the best for the future.

Kind regards,
