"Gave me a feeling of empowerment and control"

My thanks to Ealing Talking Therapies team and specifically Marvin (Psychological Well-being Practitioner). The sessions were well structured and pieces clearly delineated, which I found useful, and Marvin varied his approach, exploration of the techniques to be used, and explanation of the purposes behind them in response to what I found to be most engaging and what made sense to me/connected with me most. Based on our earliest conversations in comparison with latter, I believe that - though the material was clearly consistent - Marvin applied a personal approach to make it most applicable to me, and he always made very clear next steps and timelines, removing uncertainty and giving me a feeling of empowerment and control over my journey.
