My road to recovery

(as the patient),

My road to recovery from work related anxiety & depression with the help of Lets Talk Employment Support Services

I was suffering from anxiety & depression due to work related issues when my doctor suggested contacting the Lets Talk counselling service. I filled in the form given to me by the doctor and sent it off. I attended CBT training sessions & also had support from the Employment Support Service.

The CBT sessions were brilliant & I gained useful tools which enabled me to change my mind set regarding how to cope with stress & anxiety. There was one particular session of CBT which talked about perfectionism. It was a eureka moment for me as I realized these traits in myself.  Suddenly a I felt a load had been lifted from my shoulders! As a result of this CBT session I changed my mindset which in turn improved my well being immensely.

Alongside the CBT sessions I had regular contact with Sanpreet, one of the employment support advisors. This regular contact via the phone was invaluable! Sanpreet spoke to me & guided me when I was at a really low point. Sanpreet was brilliant and the advise she was able to provide regarding employment issues helped me enormously on my road to recovery.

The Employment Support Service, alongside the CBT counselling, has been really beneficial and I am pleased to say that I am on the road to recovery.

It has been a long journey, approx 18 months, but I am much better now thanks to all the support I received from the Lets Talk service.

I am grateful to my doctor for informing me of the Lets Talk service. I am also grateful for the CBT training I received and am especially grateful to Sanpreet from the Employment Support services.

Long may you all continue to provide this vital service!

Kind regards.
