"All in all, I couldn't thank my counsellor enough"

About: Ealing IAPT

(as the patient),

My counselling sessions with Shole have been incredibly revealing of my own personality. To understand and help ease my current issues, Shole took me through many journeys which made me connect the past to the present.

The counselling sessions have really helped my assertiveness and confidence. And I have realised that lack of these were a barrier to my current situation. She talked me through a couple of techniques and made me realise things about myself, which I perhaps knew, but never explored- thus helping to link my reactions to other peoples' actions.

All in all, I couldn't thank my counsellor enough for the aid she gave me In a professional manner. She introduced the concept of projective identification to me and that has helped an immense deal.

Again, this has helped with assertiveness and separating my own anxieties from other people's. She really did listen and do her best to help me with my issues. Thank you Shole.

Dear Yaz

It sounds as if the exploratory work that you done with Shole really benefitted you in gaining confidence and becoming more assertive.

Thank you very much for giving such valuable feedback and sharing your reflections on this platform. I am very pleased to learn that you found the service, and especially Shole’s input, incredibly helpful. I will make sure that she gets this lovely feedback.

Best wishes,

Josef
