"Made me feel comfortable talking about my situation"

About: Hounslow IAPT

(as the patient),

I was actually a bit nervous wondering how this therapy would be, as it had been the first time I had done something about my mental health.

My very first session was very relaxed and Kathryn made me feel so comfortable in talking about my situations.

Throughout my sessions I learned useful techniques to better manage certain situations and started noticing a difference little by little every session. To me that made a big difference for me personally because I was able to do my day to day things that I would avoid before because of my anxiety.

What helped me was when she broke down my thoughts into before/during/after, this helped me to look at what I was doing that continued the vicious cycle of anxiety.

This therapy has been a very good experience for me all thanks to the amazing Kathryn, as she was so lovely, patient and I felt open to speak to her.
