Some client’s stories
Social anxiety
‘I had been feeling extremely isolated from people, even my friends and family because I couldn’t explain to anyone what it was I was feeling. I felt uncomfortable and nervous in so many social situations; bumping into the neighbour, dinner parties, informal chat with colleagues – I had no idea what was wrong with me.
By attending weekly therapy sessions via video link, I was able to make a connection with the therapist at a time and from a place that suited me. It made it so much easier for me. At the time I didn’t know why, but I couldn’t have faced going to a strange clinic and talking about my issues. I understand it all now and I have lots of strategies. Thankfully that’s all in the past and I am now enjoying my social life’.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
‘My life was so restricted, I couldn’t rest, always having to double check everything; the front door, the windows, the cooker, even going upstairs to check on the children several times per evening. It got to the stage were I was getting out of bed to check the front door was locked when I’d only checked in ten minutes before.
Speaking to a therapist made it all clear, why I was doing it and how to stop. It was really simple and started working so quickly. Dealing with this has freed me up to enjoy life. Best thing I ever did’
Stress
‘It didn’t happen suddenly, it just crept up on me slowly. I barely noticed, until my wife started pointing out that I was snappy at the kids and was waking earlier and earlier with a feeling of doom about the day.
In a nutshell I was stressed. There were a few things that had contributed to it, but they just needed identifying and dealing with. Speaking with the psychologist wasn’t uncomfortable, in fact I enjoyed it, was so good to get some feedback and start getting control over it’.
