I found therapy with you to be very useful. I learned many new techniques and found it really helpful that you explained exactly why the techniques are effective and how they work.

I came away from each session feeling like I’d achieved something, even if it was a very small thing. I also felt like I was learning new things constantly throughout.

I really needed to be ‘pushed’ out of my comfort zone in order to do some of the tasks during the sessions, but I never felt pressured by you to do anything that I felt would be a bit too much to handle.

I didn’t get to where I wanted to get to, but that’s because I wasn’t ready to move up my hierarchy, and I really appreciate that we didn’t move on to the next steps too soon because I think that would have made things worse.

I’m still using techniques learned during the sessions and definitely feel it was worth giving CBT a go.

Thank you so much for you time and support - I really appreciate it.

I just wanted to say a massive thanks for all the help you gave me during our sessions. In one of our first calls, we concluded that I had low self esteem and you said ‘we’ll help you improve that’. I remember feeling sceptical because it felt like such an impossible task. But down the line, you showed me that it could not only be improved – and one day I could earnestly look in the mirror and feel both love and self-compassion.

That meant everything.

I wanted to reflect on all the weeks that you worked with me.

When we first met you took time to understand my situation and asked questions to ascertain where I needed support and what support I needed. Your empathy helped build a trusting relationship and created a safe space where I felt comfortable to let myself go and talk freely and honestly about my feelings.

You came across as knowledgeable about how to support someone in my situation and provided tools/techniques for me to try. I really appreciated how you understood me and the way I approach life, which came through when you talked.

Your questioning in our first session identified what we needed to focus on to make the most of the sessions we had together. Each week, you came across as having a clear plan on what we would discuss but also gave sufficient time and flexibility to respond to the progress I'd made during the week and any issues I wanted to go over.

I appreciate the personal investment you had in me.

The buzz around the return to school has hit me hard but I have confidence in my ability to allow myself to have a down day and bounce back from it by focusing on the positives and the happy memories of our family life.

Best wishes and huge thanks

Hi Kelly

Thank you for your time and commitment, your therapy helped me so much I think more positively, I am able to rationalise and challenge my thoughts and I have visited the hospital to get coffee whilst still waited in the grounds to drink this. I can’t thank you enough for your support. I no longer faint in or around hospitals or watching hospital programmes and I have not experienced a panic attack when discussing hospitals/procedures since engaging in therapy.

Hi Kelly Anne,

I hope you are ok...I just want to send you email to thank you so much for all the help and support you have given me within our sessions, without you I wouldn’t be getting the serious help that I really need and has possibly saved my life in all honesty...to of got that for me is something I believe you have gone well beyond and above so I couldn’t be more thankful or grateful.

I would also like for you to forward this email on to your manager/supervisor as recognition for them to see because there should be more people like yourself out there to help and support people most in need.

Once again I can’t thank you enough for everything, all the best.

Hello again Kelly,

Just wanted reiterate my massive thank you for all your time/materials/help which is greatly appreciated. As they say “The proof is in the pudding” in our case I have come out of my shell and began to live again and not just exist as I felt I was doing before crossing paths with your kind and helpful self. The CBT you have delivered has turned my life completely around and allowed me to get two jobs and be consistently positive and confident in all life throws at me.

I have ceased to be negative and avoid situations in fear of failure and bad outcomes instead I face things head on and ensure I am always happy and comfortable and not just being a people pleaser all the time. I have a voice now and am not afraid to express if I am not happy and have learned to change/modify things to make any experience comfortable for me and never allow others to dictate my life as I did prior to meeting you.

THANK YOU does not seem enough to say for making me the strong person I am today. I will continue to go from strength to strength and never revisit the past negatively ever again. The techniques and mindset lessons/challenging you have taught me will be with me forever and keep me winning.

Wish you and family all the best in life.

Sincerely from a success story/person.
