My therapist gave me support, confidence and hope

"My therapist gave me support, confidence and hope"

About: Ealing IAPT

(as the patient),

I started CBT therapy having no expectations. My therapist asked if I knew how CBT worked. I said no, I wasn’t curious at all because I thought that nothing could possibly help me. I was grieving, depressed and anxious. I felt I wasn’t ready to address my problems but my therapist gave me support, confidence and hope. He had patience with me allowing my own rhythm to recovery. He helped me gain control over my emotions and taught me how to tackle ruminative thoughts. I would highly recommend Thomas as a brilliant CBT therapist.

Dear DDI

We are really pleased that your CBT with Thomas has been successful in helping you to overcome your difficulties. Even though you had some initial reservations, what is important is that despite these you gave it a go and then clearly you must have worked really hard with Thomas to get the results you needed.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to Patient Opinion, Thomas will be delighted and Ealing IAPT is very grateful for such lovely feedback.

Best wishes for the future
