What our service users say?
Service User
My worker was there to genuinely listen and had great understanding.
Service User
Offering me a place to talk and work through things that I feel are holding me back from a happier, healthier life.
Service User
When I have depressed states and feel awful about myself and what I have experienced, the length of time, the negative impact, I remember the summarisation and I'm starting to foster that belief. Changing horrible lies for the truth is powerful.
