I had therapy with Paige after some initial progress with Emma and I have finished feeling that i have finally had the right kind of therapy for me. For the first time in my life, after many years trying to get help, I had someone listen to me and try to understand me as an individual. Paige always understood what I needed to work on and how to best encourage me to engage in the tasks she set, she also let me discuss any issues that came up as the sessions progressed and this was exactly what I needed. Someone to challenge my thoughts and behaviours but was also sympathetic to my individual issues, something no other therapist has done, which normally led to me dropping out very quickly. Home appointments have also been extremely helpful for me, again something that I was never previously offered which made it near impossible for me to get the help I needed because I needed someone to help me be able to leave the house and though initially overwhelming, weekly appointments were also what was necessary to keep progressing and this was also not offered with my previous experience with lower level therapy.
It's hard to put into words just how much therapy with Paige has helped me because I have struggled for over 20 years without proper support and although i still have things to work on , my way of thinking has changed and I feel Joy again and hope for my future for the first time in a very long time.
To me this service is invaluable because I didn't fit previously in to either the lower level therapy or into the more extreme end so i just went on with no help at all getting worse and worse every year to the point of just totally giving up on life. Now I want to keep pushing myself to get better and hopefully live a happier and more fulfilling life. Paige really was a lifesaver for me and for that I will always be grateful.
