Review of Talking Therapies (OLD)
21st March 2023


Not knowing what to expect, I was greatly surprised by the support I received having to get out of an abusive relationship which led me to doubt myself. In that time I have come to realise that I am not a bad person, and it was down to my ex who planted those words and thoughts into my head. With the help I had in talking about what I have been through, I definitely feel that I have come a long way and can't thank the people enough who helped me. I would highly recommend Talking Therapies and any other places like them, as no-one should have to go through any form abuse on their own.

Suggested improvements
Nothing really! The support was enough and it was nice to get what you are feeling off you chest because at the end of the day it is a great weight off your shoulders. The counsellors themselves are a credit to the nation and are there for everyone who needs.

Found the worker unreliable cancelling at the last moment and then texting in the evening. This increased my anxiety and feel better now that I’m not with a Talking Therapy. Only had 2 sessions due to cancellation from therapist.

Suggested improvements
Contact during hours and given advance warning about cancellation.

I’m autistic and find it very hard to speak about my feelings all though I tried, the therapist said to me she thought I didn’t want help from the service (although I’m practically begging for it) and withdrew me. I actually felt worse after the appointment

Suggested improvements
Perhaps understand people and find other solutions instead of being lazy. I feel like I’ve been given up on… again

Review of Talking Therapies (OLD)

I have been through talking therapies a few times now and have never actually had any treatment!! This time I had the assessment went through stuff to be told “you can’t help me as it’s more anxiety”. I was given more numbers of other services. I felt so flat after and let down. I am not going to keep calling people going through my issues to be told people can’t help. I have done nothing with the couple of numbers you gave.

Suggested improvements
Perhaps offer services for anxiety. It’s not good to bring things up emotionally for people in assessments and then not be able to help. Seems a little unfair.

Didn't feel listened to. The therapist made a mistake and mentioned about my wife passing, but is alive and well. Understand this was a mistake but I couldn't continue afterwards. When discharging myself because of this, the email to my GP said I was better. However I wasn't and was subsequently signed off work.

Suggested improvements
More awareness and training on neurodiversity / asperger (autism) and how that interacts with the service.

I was listen to, with respect and friendly manner. I felt very comfortable to share my thoughts, emotions and reflections. Sessions were very helpful.
