"CBT for social anxiety"

About: Hounslow IAPT

(as the patient),

For a long time, I struggled with social anxiety and depression. I am so happy that I was referred to CBT at Hounslow IAPT with Rashmeet. During the sessions, I learned many strategies and techniques that helped me to improve my self-esteem, confidence, and social skills. Rashmeet was patient and professional. I am really thankful for all her work and positivity. 

I was hesitating to ask for help and didn't know that these services existed. During my first visit, I was so afraid to go... Now I understand the importance of therapy. I learned a lot during the CBT sessions. I learned how social anxiety works, how my old behaviors and thought were making it worse and how should I improve. These skills are life-changing for somebody who had major anxiety while speaking with a friend. Now I am ready to improve my confidence even more and excited to change my life. Thank you Hounslow IAPT and Rashmeet for all your hard work.

Dear Amber12347

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I will make sure both Rashmeet and the team read your feedback. If anyone who is experiencing anything similar reads this, they will be encouraged by your words to take the first step which is always the hardest.

We wish you all the best in your future and are so glad that you are able to use the techniques to make some positive changes in your life.
