Totally stress free experience

Great service. Very respectful and accommodating of your personal needs. Faith is such a gentle, honest and familiar comfort. That is like talking to an old friend. I will definately miss our weekly problem solving (of my problems of course). She met me where I mentally was each week.

All staff were professional, caring, and knowledgeable

The hospital is welcoming and has an atmosphere of calmness. The car park is always very full, which can make finding a space a little difficult at times, but often there will be somewhere available after a little while. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Nadeem has been a brilliant therapist. When I began the process of seeking treatment I felt broken and lost. I had built a wall around myself and was living by hiding behind this wall. It had come to a head in the previous few months through bouts of strong depression and self doubt. I had also constructed a mechanism for release that was self-harming and actually did little to relieve my feelings. I had decided change this after being discovered during one of my moments of 'venting'. It embarrassed me and scared my loved ones - they were worried about me, up until that moment I had kept my self harming a secret. I was emotionally unstable. After an initial consultation the therapy sessions with Nadeem began. I did not know what to expect and was, I must admit, a little sceptical. I had tried therapy in the past and found it to be unhelpful. With Nadeem it was different. The first few sessions were actually very difficult. While I was determined to give the process my best effort, I was not fully ready for actually feeling worse at the start. Our discussions made me think more deeply about myself and my motivations. The fallacy of the way I had come to consider myself. An inner me and outer me - looking out at my life as if I was performing an act to hide my 'true' self. The burial of long-past feelings about my early life that I had twisted into something bad, to be embarrassed of and buried. The way that I focussed on the bad and not the good of my history. Nadeem offered breathing and mindful exercises that I was sceptical of at first, but I gave them an honest shot and have found that they were very helpful. The breathing exercises have become a part of my everyday. Nadeem also asked me to write down my thoughts and feelings and we discussed my responses. As a part of this I also took the time between our sessions to think deeply about how I got to where I was and why I was doing the things I was doing. Nadeem was also very kind to me. Kind words and comments that triggered emotional responses I wasn't expecting (tearful... not distressed, but shocked by the comfort of the words... Solace). In between our sessions I also thought deeply about how I had felt, and how I felt afterwards. I took time to consider my thoughts, feelings and actions. As time progressed I began to rediscover an 'old me', someone less self-depreciating and devalued. I began to feel more centred, more balanced. Nadeem has been an excellent guide through this process. His approach was what I needed, his 'homework', words of encouragement, introspective provoking questions, thought and physical exercises - all built a framework that brought me back to a better me. Now that our sessions are over I know that the journey itself is not over, but I am deeply thankful and grateful to have had time with Nadeem to set me on a better path. Thankyou.

The whole experience was perfect.
