Not sure what information you are asking for with this question. Simple answer is - I gave my answer because the form required me to tick a box.
If you require me to tell you about my mental health condition then please let me know.
I was seen today by carley Morgan, she really made me feel comfortable and able to talk openly.
Excellent service.
Could not fault any of the team, very kind/caring and professional some arrived as strangers and left as friends.
Very clear and explained the process from start to finish to help me understand what’s happening
.
James has been so caring and thoughtful all though my time under his care. He has always got back to me in a timely manner when needed and understood of my concerns or worries.
Therapy 4U+ was something I had not tried before, and was suitably anxious prior to commencing having had several bouts of unsuccessful therapy previously. I was allowed to have online therapy via teams, which was perfect for my needs as I work full time meaning time off work for therapy appointments would not have been possible. With where I was at emotionally for the sessions, teams enabled me to be more vulnerable and honest than I would have felt able to had I been made to attend in person therapy. It also meant reduced anxiety and better recovery from sessions as there was no travel time , increasing my rest period after to reflect or rest as needed.
My therapist Gill, was the first care professional in a long time who seemed to have actually read my background and issues, and adjusted the sessions to what I needed. Trust was built over time and not simply expected from session 1 , and traumatic topics were discussed compassionately and in a manner where I never felt "forced" or pushed into a discussion I was not ready for. A feeling of safety and control were key needs of mine during therapy and resources/coping skills were provided to ensure any difficulties between sessions were managed.
Despite the difficult nature of some topics discussed, some of which I never thought I would verbalise, Gill had built the trust enabling progress to be made. Crucially, Gill did what she said she would, when she said she would, and always explained what was happening.
I would say confidently that the therapy 4u+ sessions were the most successful and beneficial I have had in my entire medical history going back several decades. Whilst not "cured" I have a better understanding of my past, my triggers, and what positive actions work for me .
I am extremely grateful for the 20 sessions I received (and to Gill for requesting the full amount for me) . I would recommend therapy 4u+ to a friend or colleague in need, but especially to those like myself who have long term trauma as from my experience this seemed to be particular strength of the therapy.
The lady was really nice
I was diagnosed in December 2016 with Colorectal cancer. I've had radiotherapy, chemotherapy and 4 surgeries.
Still under the hospital for regular blood tests.
