I was very fortunate to receive weekly sessions for 13 months with Beth who specialises in CBT.
At the start of my journey I was very broken, incredibly lost and carrying so much pain. Through weeks of patient listening, talking, information and guidance I was able to move forward with the healing process. Beth taught me that my thoughts, feelings and behaviours are all interconnected and by changing one of these can positively impact the others. Beth would set me small goals to help me identify unhelpful thoughts which in turn would impact my feelings and behaviours.
Beth created a safe space for me to “ open up “ and explore some very challenging aspects of my life. Never did I feel embarrassed or judged and I always felt understood and for one of the first times valued.
In short I am deeply grateful and will never forget the journey that Beth walked with and guided me through.
I will miss our sessions and metaphorically speaking miss “ the warm hug” I felt during therapy.
I will strive to continue to put into practice what I have learned and move forward with a greater understanding of myself.
