Adults

 

I honestly can't put into words how grateful I am of your help / perseverance with me the last few months.  You have made me see light when it's dark and smile when I didn't think I could. I wouldn't have got through this without the amazing person you have been through what is the toughest few months of my life.  I will never ever forget you!  You’ve changed my life back around. (Female, Age 20 ~ Bereavement)

 

Thank you for being a part of my journey.  (Female, Age 35 ~ Low Mood)

 

You have provided me with much needed space, following the suicde of my son last year to talk about my grief.  Our sessions enabled me to express how I felt and to better understand those feelings.  A big thank you for your generosity of time, but especially heart.  I am a stronger person now than 12 weeks ago when we first met. (Male, Age 65 ~ Bereavement / Grief)

 

Young Persons

 

I've found it easier to talk to people and open up more in situations.  I understand now that I shouldn't give myself such a hard time. I found it very helpful and the environment in which I was helped didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all. (Female, Age 13 ~ Self Harm / Anxiety)

​

I enjoyed these sessions for many reasons and they helped me a lot.  I felt safe to share my feelings with someone and happy to have someone to listen.  I liked that they helped me realise that people don't always hate me.

(Age 11 - Anxiety)

​

Therapy has been a way to reduce my thoughts of suicide and self harm that I had over the past 6 months.  It has been a great way to be able to let out my emotions and feelings without them bottling up.  

(Age 14 - Suicidal thoughts / self harm)

Children

​

My sessions were amazing, hopefully I get some more sessions in the future.

(Age 9 ~ Anger)

​

I have learned that when I am Sad, I can tell an adult instead of hiding away or throwing things.  I had fun.

(Age 8 - Anger)

​

I have learned that if you talk to someone it helps.  I know how to breathe when I'm feeling anxious and I now use positive words to help me feel safer and calmer.

(Age 10 - Anxiety)

Parents of Children

We think he's really benefited from the animal therapy. As we said the other week, we are thinking about getting kittens later this summer and hopefully he can bond and play with them and use some of what he's learnt.
