I have worked with Leila Chaitoo on a one to one basis along with the DBT skills group for a year now and have completed the 4 modules of the DBT programme, Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotional Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness. I can honestly and sincerely say that after decades of mental health problems,the therapy I undertook with Leila and the group DBT programme from has changed my life in practical and profound ways. From severe depression, destructive behaviours and suicidal ideation to an inner calm and the confidence that I can cope with the ups and downs of daily life. I am now able to regulate my emotions, and tolerate distress in a way I could not have imagined before. I hope this review will give other people the confidence to undertake the group skills group and one to one with a mind-reframed therapist.

I came to CATCH after struggling with addiction problems for many years. The 28 day rehab programme was truly life-changing. The compassionate therapists and supportive community provided the caring environment I needed to face my addiction head-on and develop healthier coping skills. I'm more than six months clean and sober now and things are getting better all the time.

Kind and caring team

The Wellbeing and Recovery Collective provide me with a safe space to openly explore issues blocking my recovery in a group setting. James is very knowledgeable about eating disorders and has helped me understand my condition, the triggers as well as supporting me to work on strategies to stay on track with my recovery. He is a calming and encouraging presence in group. I am extremely grateful for the support I have received. My recovery has improved hugely under his guidance.

Excellent care!

I owe my life and happiness to getting the help I needed and finally being able to recover. I felt truly hopeless and getting therapy was my final try to recover from my eating disorder. And it worked! It wasn’t easy, not going to lie. It was a rollercoaster but so worth it. Throughout therapy I was always reminded of the bigger picture while making small steps, one day at a time. Went through highs and lows and in the end got my life back. The honesty in therapy was wat stood out most. I was faced with the fact it was never about the food. Not focussing on food but the feelings that were covered helped me process all that stood in the way if living my life. It’s so easy to do nothing, but it’s much more powerful to act and fight for your right to live. I worked hard for years. Found peace and the love of my life (literally being in treatment) who I can call my husband. The greatest thing I ever learned is to love and be loved in return.

It was good

I have found the clinic staff to be very helpful and professional and very responsive to any queries. Overall I am very happy with my experience at The Forbes Clinic.
