"Finally a good therapist"

About: Hounslow IAPT

(as the patient),

I accepted CBT therapy after being very reluctant to take it on, I didn't want a therapist to see all my issues related or stemming from my race or gender which is why I didn't want a female or asian therapist. I say this from experience of having used different therapists over time. I wanted a completely objective opinion and someone that would see my issues for what they are and just help me work through them.

My doctor was 100% this and more, Dr. Dominic was so professional, yet empathetic he didn't look at my issues related to my race or gender but only from what I have been through. I have been waiting for an honest and helpful person to guide me through my thoughts for a long time. He is so educated in his understanding of mental health he lives and breathes mental health understanding, I strongly believe he should provide training to doctors at surgery's so that they can understand how to professionally yet empathetically maneuver around such situations not only would this be beneficial for patients but also for doctors in understanding better at how to deal with such situations. I genuinely for the first time in three years saw progress that changed my mind for the better and that is all down to Dr. Dominic and his refined skills as a therapist.

The only thing that I would've preferred was for there to be a few more sessions however the nature of CBT is that it is only for 12 sessions so that's understandable.
