I was finding it extremely difficult to leave my house without having a severe panic attack. My councillor, Monalisa, explained in simple terms what was happening during a panic attack. She then discussed with me what exercise to do over the next week, which increased my confidence to gradually increasing up my hierarchy list. After this theropy I can now leave my house with only a tiny amount of aniexty which only lasts about five minutes. I believe without this theropy I would not of achieved this and better still looking forward to a few days away to Scotland later this month. A big thank you .

Monalisa was excellent, she gave me the confidence to move forward and if I start to slip back showed me easy steps I can use to get me back on track. The only thing I can think of is it took several weeks waiting for my theropy to start, but I appreciate there was a long waiting list.
