I referred myself to IAPT last year due to increased anxiety, distress and feeling I wasn't coping emotionally. I hadn't found my previous experience there, with CBT, very useful and was very happy with my second experience. It has made a huge difference to my understanding, thinking and well being.
My counsellor was very skilled and able to try different ways of looking at myself, my thoughts, feelings and experiences using intellectual type discussions and learning, body work, listening, empathy and created a climate where I could explore issues from my childhood that I had not been able to access in previous experiences of therapy or in my training as a counsellor.He was amazing.
This experience has helped me so much, in my understanding of my childhood and to not have the same feelings of being a victim. I am stronger and happier. I shall never forget this experience with him, it has been life changing.
