So grateful for all the help I’ve received.

"So grateful for all the help I’ve received."

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

Just over 1 year ago my beloved wife died of cancer.

I was blessed to nurse her final months at home in our bed as I had promised her.

The days, weeks & months are horrendous.

I was told about Inclusions and was able to receive counselling for ptsd and EMDR.

Both counsellors were brilliant and incredibly understanding & kind. (Debbie & Anne I am indebted to you both).

The EMDR was well, amazing as I thought it could be “quack territory” to be honest, but for me, it really did help in 1 session a flashback that had disturb my dreams, my waking, my driving, randomly any time and anywhere.

The professional and kindness I have received will not be forgotten.

Shalom, thank you so much.

Hi Jomar_uk,

Firstly, we would like to thank you for taking the time to leave feedback about Inclusion Thurrock.

We are glad that EMDR with our service was able to exceed your expectations and hopefully change some of those beliefs you held about this type of therapy. It’s also brilliant to see that you were able to recognise the impact of this therapy so quickly, and see the positive changes it has made to your flashbacks.

Building a relationship with your therapist is such an important aspect of having successful therapy. I am glad that you thought that your’ therapists were brilliant, and was able to build a kind and understanding relationship with them. Your thanks have been passed onto Debbie and Anne.

I hope that all of your learning and knowledge from these sessions continue to support you on your journey outside of our service.

Best wishes, Ellie
