Peter: "I'd recommend private counselling to anyone"
I suffered from emotional, physical and psychological abuse as a child, and was experiencing flashbacks. These were causing constant anxiety and panic attacks. Affecting my daily life, I decided I needed help. I had tried counselling before, from the doctor recommended list but they didn't work for me as the trauma was buried so deeply.
As my condition worsened, I decided to seek private counselling. I am so glad I did. We started working through my flashbacks, taking one at a time, using Existential therapy. More than a year on, these flashbacks have completely stopped. I feel I have control now over my panic attacks, finally. We approached the traumas from my childhood one by one, at my own pace. I would definitely recommend private counselling. My counsellor, was amazing and well worth the money. I was welcomed at the door with a smile, I was offered a cup of tea and seated in a comfortable chair. I felt relaxed and safe and cared for.

Gez: "Overcoming my traumatic childhood"
When I reached the age of 50, I felt like it was time I really sorted out my feelings about my traumatic childhood so that I could move on and enjoy the future, I started to sense that I needed to do this for me, having spent so much of my life prioritising the needs of others.
The counsellor I found on the web is the best thing that has ever happened. Her profile jumped out at me immediately when I read it and we met for the first time within days. I have been seeing her every week for the last five months and although we still have a way to go I just know that this was exactly what I needed, finally someone who really can empathise with my life and guide me to a healthier and happier way of thinking about many aspects of my life.
