"Overcoming past traumas & feeling more free"

For most of my life I have always held onto past situations and traumas, always allowed them to get me down and have struggled to open up about them. 

I have tried multiple therapists over the last 6 years that did not go well and felt very demotivated about trying again. I went through a real bad rough patch early January that pushed me to try again with talking therapies & I’m truly grateful I made that decision. 

Having Christopher as my therapist truly changed my life and my view on therapy as a whole. When I started I was super anxious about opening up to another male and also having my camera on, for which he made me feel comfortable and allowed me to have it turned off for the first few sessions to see how I feel as time went on. 3rd session in, I had built up the courage to have it turned on and it was truly one of the best sessions I had ever had. The way he spoke and was patient with me, it allowed me be vulnerable and just open up about my past and really dig deeper into the situations and the emotions I still had attached to it. 

From that day on the sessions just kept getting better and better, I was learning so much more about myself, my emotions and my traumas. 

Now roughly 3 months on, I have improved so so much within myself. Through his tools and taking the time to go through things each week, I have a new found confidence within myself, realised I am much stronger than what I ever thought I was & I am now starting to step out of my comfort zone a lot more, doing things I never thought possible. My mental health has gotten so much better in such a short span of time & I only have Christopher to thank for it. 

I don’t know where I’d be or what I’d be going through if I had not received him as a therapist. I really cannot praise this service enough & I truly cannot praise Christopher enough for all of the work he has done with me. 

For anyone like myself who is worried about trying therapy again, I truly encourage you to try Bedfordshire Talking Therapies because this experience has changed my life & I believe they could really help to change someone else’s.
