"How finding the right therapist can really help you"

Throughout my time with Talking Therapies, I have had the best experience with staff, though when I first joined I found it hard to relate to a man as most of my trauma comes from being female and being unable to have children.

This second time around both in light and in moderate support I have been treated by two outstanding females. Jo and Ravat.

Jo always made sure that I was supported even in the light CBT system, friendly, empathetic and felt like a strong fighter in your corner.

Ravat has been a God's send, always has a smile on her face when greeting you, never interrupts and just lets you say your piece, we often joked that an hour was never long enough. Being female and very easy to talk to, I feel that she could understand more of my female related problems and give none judgmental help and support. I will definitely keep swimming and now go for walks with a group at the arboretum on Thursdays, when previously I felt isolated. Building my confidence a step at a time.

I feel that due to this support, though not thoroughly healed, I am well on my way to a more positive and hopeful existence.
