"Cognitive Behavioural Therapy"

I was told about Ealing IAPT through my GP having been diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety and Panic Disorder.

I referred myself and was contacted and assessed quickly by the IAPT team.

I undertook initial CBT sessions in 2019, and I'm currently receiving Level 3 Therapy Sessions.

Reaching out for help with my mental health and working with the IAPT's therapists  has been fantastic for me. I was in a dark place, thought I was going crazy ... Now I'm becoming more self aware, I understand my tendencies better and challenge my negative thoughts. (But there's still a way to go)

The initial therapy was a touchstone to CBT tools. The duration I felt should be longer.

The Level 3 therapy goes deeper, is more challenging but this is what I need.

I have found it easy to establish a good therapeutic relationship with my therapists. They have been professional, warm and understanding. I feel that they really care about my welfare and have belief in equipping with the tools to manage my conditions.
