Professional, reliable and effective therapist

Posted By talonms35

"Professional, reliable and effective therapist"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

My therapist was Barbara (IPT therapist), and I can say that without a doubt she has been one of the most professional, reliable, and effective therapists I have worked with.

Barbara made me feel at ease from the very first session, she explained the process clearly and helped me establish my goals for therapy. She worked with me and guided me through my history of depression and helped me to understand how related this was to my personal relationships, and relationship with myself. I established a good rapport with Barbara over the 16 weeks of therapy and I am so grateful to her for the support, guidance, and reassurance she has provided. I feel I am now in a place to really put my learning into practice. My mood has lifted in a way that I didn’t really expect at the start, I feel like I am living according to the values I have and choosing relationships that align with that.

Thank you so much Barbara!

Dear talonms35

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback of your experience with Inclusion Thurrock Talking Therapies.

It is so encouraging to hear of your positive experience with Barbara as you your IPT therapist. It sounds like a great therapeutic relationship was built - which is the cornerstone of a successful therapeutic experience!

Having a clear goal for therapy is so important as it helps in understanding the direction of your therapeutic journey. It is great that Barbara was able to help you with understanding your goals, how depression had affected your relationship with other and yourself. Most importantly it sounds as though you were able to find yourself which has improved your overall wellbeing.

I am glad to hear that you were put at ease, guided and have learnt valuable tools to help in navigating who you are and making sure your relationships align with your values. I hope that you will be able to continue implementing the skills you learnt within therapy to help you further.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. We truly appreciate it and we will let Barbara know of the wonderful impact she has had on you.

I hope that your positive experience will encourage others to share their story with us at Inclusion Thurrock Talking Therapies.

All the best,

Taffy
