[name removed] was very good listener and sessions were very well structured. we worked as a team and helped me to be equipped to manage my low mood, low self esteem and anxiety.
I felt [name removed] helped me and prepared me to manage and apply all my learning post therapy. I feel confident in my self to utilise all my learning from CBT session independently.
Overall my experience:
My experience with [name removed] has been incredibly rewarding as I have seen so much progress. She listened to all my concerns and assisted me in reaching my own conclusions on matters which has allowed me to develop long-term coping mechanisms of 'being my own therapist'. One thing I struggled with prior to my sessions with [name removed] was resentment towards the past and realigning myself with my values. The sessions have allowed me to move past this by improving my self-esteem and learning to sit with my feelings in addition to moving past them. Previously I found this very hard to do but with carefully considered session content, I was able to! One thing I found to be very helpful also was the videos explaining various techniques. however, Overall, I have found [name removed] to be an excellent listener and I have no doubt that she has drastically helped me to become a more confident and happier version of myself, and I am incredibly thankful for this!
[name removed] was excellent - I really got a great deal out of the sessions
[name removed] was extremely professional, patient and understanding and explained things in a really thorough and detailed way. Having never had any sort of therapy in the past this was a new experience for me and her manner made me feel comfortable in opening up and talking about things I have never discussed with anyone in the past. She has given me hope and I can't thank her enough for that.
[name removed] has really helped me given me the tools to keep well, she genuinely cared and explained things so I understood and was very sincere and patient with me, I have lots of helpful literature and booklets now that was sent to me as well as email as i requested this so I can move forward that I can continue to use especially the possible relapse tools, [name removed] always recapped our session on email as it can be alot to take in.
There is no judgement in sessions
Just
[name removed] my mental health midwife has gone above and beyond to help me and I couldn't be more grateful
The U&ME course itself has been really beneficial so far. The group and the tutors have been amazing and have all helped each other.
However, the service overall has not been entirely satisfactory, as the assessments carried out prior to assigning me to the course resulted in incorrect information being sent to my GP. The advice to my GP was that I wanted to be diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, which is not the case.
I would like someone to get back in touch from CMHT to discuss this and ensure it is corrected as well as providing written diagnosis.
The U&ME staff have been great, thank you.
The U&Me group is always a joy. It really does help me learn skills and it is really nice to find others who have the same or similar struggles.
