The sessions with my therapist have changed my life for the better.

This service has been very helpful to my life.

The service has been amazing and has changed my whole outlook on counselling.

These therapy sessions have helped me to reduce my anxiety and let me talk about anything I had on my mind without any judgement. I really enjoyed my sessions, and they’ve helped me so much.

My therapist has been amazing throughout all of our sessions. I do feel like I am mentally stronger now than what I as at the beginning even though I am still going through a lot in my life. I have now learned my new boundaries. My therapist has been a big part of my recovery. She has listened and supported me over the past few months and I am incredibly grateful to her so thank you so much.

Very kind, friendly and helpful service. The therapist has really helped my son in so many ways with his mental health and has given him self-help tools to support him. It is absolutely brilliant the amount of care that the therapist showed to my son. She has been a pillar of strength and I honestly can’t thank her enough.

I loved the sessions with my therapist because they helped me with all of my issues from family issues to anxiety issues. They helped me to get rid of my anxiety and increased my confidence. I am a happier person and wish I’d had more sessions with my therapist because these sessions were a life changer.

The sessions with my therapist helped me to find my strength again. They have helped me to take actions I have needed to take, instead of dwelling on things. I have struggled being a people pleaser and going along with what people tell me to do, but now I have more acceptance of myself and I have taken back power of my own life.

I am happy with the service offered by my therapist and feel more equipped to deal with any future challenges as a result of our sessions.

My therapist listened, encouraged and truly helped me to hear and understand myself. At the beginning, I could not see a way out or forward with my anxiety and struggles. When I had major issues, it was my therapist I wanted to turn to for guidance and to vent. I am in a better place mentally now and really appreciate the sessions.

I have found my sessions extremely beneficial - more so than I anticipated. My therapist immediately put me at ease and her knowledge, understanding and empathy has helped me to reflect on my worries and to re-frame them and be more confident in myself. The strategies have been helpful and I am applying them during stressful periods. I feel that I am in a stronger place emotionally at the end of my therapy and I am extremely grateful to my therapist for her support and understanding.

It was a safe space for me and I could talk about myself comfortably with no judgement. I met a wonderful therapist who listened to me with attention. My therapist is an extremely warm and empathic person and easily helped me to open up. My life changed, I'm not worried about the future anymore..I'm open to the new and ready to listen to myself. Thank you.

I found my therapy sessions very valuable and benefited greatly from them. My therapist was very easy to talk to and helped me a lot with my thoughts and feelings.

My therapist made me feel welcome and has been nice, kind and helpful.

Really understanding and easy to talk to, I feel like I clicked with my therapist straight away. She is calm, patient, engaging, extremely warm, empathetic, kind, welcoming and made me feel safe. Working with my therapist was a very insightful experience. She not only was an active listener, but her responses were accurate and resonant with how I truly felt. I found her to be an extremely compassionate individual and led through the lens of the heart, not the mind. She gave me the tools to stay calm, regulated and most importantly to soften myself in times when I needed it most. I’m extremely grateful to my therapist for her help and guidance during a difficult period, which led to some really positive and far-reaching changes in my personal and working life. Appreciate my therapists’ time and advice and enjoyed my sessions with her. I cannot praise her enough for her support and depth of knowledge. I’m so grateful to her. Thank you.

I have been welcomed and supported in sharing my worries and anxieties. My therapist has really helped me to understand where they are coming from and how to deal with them. She has given me lots of quotes, strategies and thought-provoking reflections for me to work on. These have allowed me to become stronger and more comfortable in myself. A massive thank you and I will hold the sessions close to my heart and will always remember the warmth and care that has been shown to me.

My therapist is a very competent practitioner with a very professional adaptation. She is very calm and an effective communicator, who helped me to feel more empowered and to develop boundaries. My therapist is very empathetic and a good listener and helped me to formulate plans to bring about changes and better outcomes in my personal and professional life. Working with this service has allowed me to feel better and to bring about the changes that were needed for a happier, balanced life. I now feel more in control of my emotions and my life.

My therapist was very kind to me. She really helped me out during the sessions and I could go to sleep without worrying using the anxiety coping strategies she taught me. All of the creative activities were so much fun and really helped me. I feel like I don’t worry as much anymore. I used to have panic attacks but now I don't and that is because of the help I have received from this service.

My therapist is an amazing person to talk to; she listens and shows that she is listening by repeating back and asking questions. She always made me feel safe to open up about my feelings and helped me realise what I was actually feeling. She helped me understand what I was feeling and how to deal with them in a way that was more positive. She showed empathy and compassion always making sure I was comfortable and regardless of how I was feeling. She made me feel heard in what I was feeling in moments and helped me with what to do next.

I have been having session with my therapist for the past couple of weeks and after doing my last depression and anxiety scores it really shows how much she has helped me. From when I first came to now, I feel lighter and finally been able to start living for me and not be fixated on my past trauma. My therapist has given me ways to deal with my issues which have helped massively and have been a really good listener with advice on ways I can think of things differently. Overall, my therapist has really helped my progress in feeling better in myself and coming to points in the sessions were a switch was turned on and it sort of triggered a new me.

I would like to compliment my therapist, she really helped me feel like there was someone listening and somewhere there to help. She was easy to open up to to and has helped me feel better about myself.

I think that the sessions with my therapist have been very helpful to calm myself down and taking myself away from the situation. Before I came to YPAS it was tricky for me to calm myself down or think before I speak. I found my sessions with my therapist very useful, it was easy to open up, and she was understanding and helpful, giving me techniques to help me overcome anxiety which I have implemented. Techniques I found particularly useful were meditation and thought flipping.

My therapist has helped me a lot and helped me to find ways to handle my anger better. She has helped me with anxiety she has been amazing to me.

I’ve been doing my sessions here for a couple of weeks and this is my last one and I’d like to say that my therapist has been a great help and she helped me understand a great deal of what I was going through. She really helped with different techniques and I was very happy to have her as a therapist, she helped a lot
