"Took a while but worth it"

I self-referred in February and received a telephone assessment a few days later. However my CBT sessions didn't start until September. I felt It would have been better if they could have started sooner. However it did give plenty of time for my medication to kick in! Appointments were convenient and always on time. I found my counsellor kind and gentle but after a few sessions provided challenge too. I was always clear about my 'homework' and I have continued with some of the strategies. It felt like I started to get things back on track .. but would always be nice to have some more maintenance sessions. However I was given support about how to keep things in check including every month I use a pared down version of the assessment tool to check out how I'm feeling.
