Encouragements
Getting the most from therapy
From our service users to you…
“Push yourself out your comfort zones and come along. You don't know what you may get from the sessions and even if it's nothing you can say you've tried it. You can do it!”
“They have a lot of services to offer, however, you have to be willing and in the right place to engage in treatments and don't be afraid to question and work together with your therapist.”
“Highly recommended it, need to be fully committed to taking on the responsibility for your own self-improvement.”
“Try it, do the homework and give it your best, you will get relief from it.”
“Swallow your pride and trust the course to be able to help.”
"I would encourage an open mind to treatment / support. Particularly the group setting which I initially worried about.”
“Not every technique will work for you, but some will; use them.”
“I would encourage people to go for it and to continue and not give up.”
“Helpful as long as one puts the work in.”
“Go for it and finish it. Keep it up until the end, it's worth it.”
“I can’t say it won’t be challenging but equally it will be rewarding.”
“Do it! It's not easy, but it is very worthwhile.”
