"First time experiencing counselling"

Due to many struggles following last year after being diagnosed with EUPD, I decided to turn to my doctors for help.  After being pushed and pulled back and fourth through different counselling practitioners I was finally assigned  to my new counsellor at Thurrock inclusion who I was told would be more specialised to my counselling needs. 

I was extremely apprehensive in our first session, I will admit on the first day I was quite closed off and uncooperative as I struggled with change at that time and was reluctant to start again with a new counsellor but Natalie was exceptionally welcoming, personal, kind and extremely professional. It didn't take me long to feel welcome and comfortable in our sessions, in fact I looked forward to attending every week as I felt so safe to be myself without judgement. 

After almost a year with my counsellor, Natalie, I feel like a changed woman in comparison to when I  first started! I now have lots of extremely useful techniques which I can use for the rest of my life to help with my anxiety and depression. These sessions have helped me manage my moods and temper with my day to day life challenges and have helped make me the stronger woman I am today.

Thank you Thurrock inclusion, and thank you Natalie for your outstanding support. 

I will forever be grateful to you.

You saved my life.
