"Has improved my mood, confidence and overall mental health!"

I had very strong symptoms of anxiety and depression which I had suffered with for months. I felt my constant feeling of worry had a significant impact on me emotionally and physically. This led me to seek help with Bedfordshire Talking Therapies.

I found the service of Bedfordshire Talking Therapies very welcoming, friendly, and supportive. I always felt comfortable to share how I was feeling and the impact that my anxiety was having on my day-to-day life without feeling judged or awkward.

The service I experienced from both Jane and Christopher was outstanding and extremely helpful from the start! I felt they really listened to me and offered me great and constructive strategies to help me cope with my anxiety, which has had a life-long impact on me! I can see the difference in the person that I am today than I was when I first started therapy and I cannot thank the service and therapists enough for everything they have done to help me!

During the course of my treatment I also participated in Group Therapy Sessions which I was a bit apprehensive about at first but I felt that the Group Sessions I had participated in helped me be able to see that I was not the only person experiencing this anxiety disorder, which made me feel less alone. I felt the Group Sessions increased my confidence further by being able to share my thoughts and feelings in a comfortable environment with others that are going through the same disorder and recognise similarities with others which offered another level of support and became something I really looked forward to each week!

The different strategies and tools that I have learnt over the course of my therapy has had an incredible impact on my ability to manage my anxiety now and in the future, (which has improved my mood, confidence and overall mental health!)

My life has changed in the best way possible because of Bedfordshire Talking Therapies. My experience with the service has resulted in me being a more confident and happier person overall and due to the amazing help and support I’ve received I have not experienced any physical symptoms of anxiety in a long time, something that I did not think was possible before starting my therapy sessions!
