"Brilliant advice from six degrees advisor"

I have recently started visiting a mental health advisor from six degrees, having been refered via my doctor. I was nervous at first as have been having problems at work with bullying and racism. My employers have acknowledged it but brushed it off as light-hearted banter. It's been causing me so much stress that I no longer feel the same person I was. I've lost confidence, weight, hair loss, appetite and having mental health problems too.

I wasn't too sure that the service would take me seriously after my employers have not. However, my initial appointment was very helpful. I spoke to an advisor who was training. She was sympathetic and listened to everything I said. She gave me great advice and her approach was so calm and friendly that I felt that someone understood.

My second appointment was not with the same advisor. She was off that day. However, the woman who took the morning appointments stood in for those booked in the afternoon. This was really considerate. Furthermore, I recieved some more brilliant advice, felt easy enough to talk freely with the advisor and she filled me with a positive boost.

I'm so thankful that my doctor identified the need for me to use this service and I'm happy that there is support avaliable.
