We have received very positive feedback from people using the Talking Therapy service. Take a look at the journeys people have been on and see if you share any of their issues.
“Gateshead Talking Therapies has changed my life for the better! It was very accessible, and on the days I didn’t feel great to attend in person, I was offered a phone call instead. My therapist helped me with anxiety and unhelpful behaviours; my own and dealing with others. They went through every possible outcome and how to deal with each one to get a positive outcome. I now use this in practice every day. I never felt like they were invasive or judgemental, which in turn, made me feel like I was confiding in someone I could trust. I couldn’t thank the Gateshead Talking Therapies team enough.”
“I am so pleased I attended my first group therapy, especially since I had initially refused as I believed it would be too traumatic to be around other people, as opposed to my previous one to one talking therapy. I won’t pretend it was easy to walk through the doors at the first session. I really did not think it would be the success it has been and I would recommend this therapy to everyone. I found it comforting to be around people who experienced the same thoughts and fear as myself and have learned a great deal from the expert therapists and others in the group.”
My health had sunk to an all time low, I was unable to continue with my work. It came to a point where I felt like ending it all, “what good was I anyway? I felt myself sinking into a hole I couldn’t climb out of, I even stopped answering the phone but due to the support of Gateshead Talking Therapies, I now have the tools to break the cycle. Having these brilliant caring professionals who have a fantastic understanding of people and the difference they make to peoples’ lives just can’t be measured. I would like to give a special thanks to my therapist who has remained a positive constant throughout my therapy.
