"My therapy journey"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

I have severe anxiety, depression and CPTSD and was given the opportunity to work with a therapist called Joanne (Jo) who works at Inclusion Thurrock. From our first session, Jo opened a space for me to talk about and process the problems I have faced throughout my life including childhood trauma, domestic violence and bullying. I will always be grateful for the excellent talking therapy and practical exercises for dealing with flashbacks, anxiety and self care going forward. I now have a solid therapeutic ‘tool box’ that I can refer to when I feel like I’m in danger of slipping back into a bad place. I wholeheartedly recommend Jo as an excellent and intuitive therapist. Thank you to all the staff at Inclusion.

Hi Rache,

Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to provide such amazing feedback regarding your experience at Inclusion Thurrock!

I am glad to hear that your therapist Joanne was able to provide you a safe and comfortable space to be open and process some of your difficulties. We understand that this can be very difficult to do and so, it's great to hear that you felt comfortable with your therapist to be open about this. We will pass on your lovely feedback to Joanne as I'm sure she would really appreciate this!

It is also amazing to hear that you have a solid therapeutic tool box to use in the future if you feel you need to. You should be very proud of the hard work you have put in, with the support of your therapist Joanne.

We hope that others reading your feedback will feel encouraged to reach out for support if they need to.

Thank you again!

Best wishes,

Olivia
