“It has been very reassuring to talk to someone who listened and voice my trauma of the past. I feel freer as if a weight has been taken off my shoulders. It felt good to talk about my feelings as I tended to bottle them up. I can assert myself with my sisters and realise that they may not change my mind but that’s up to them.”

“The experience of having a space to talk things through has been very valuable. Having a safe space but also someone who has the skills to help me (by noticing my reactions and asking difficult questions). This helped me connect some dots in my head which I think will be helpful longer term.”

Though not always comfortable, it has been of benefit to my life outside of therapy where I have been able to think more clearly and understand other people’s reactions better and understand what is good for me and what isn’t.”

“Therapy has mainly helped me begin to understand why I feel the way I do and to know that I can change the way I respond. In the six weeks I react quite differently to situations in my life to how I would have previously and have felt better for it. I feel I have ‘opened a door’ and feel positive as to how I can continue from here.”
