"The help I needed to point me in a better…"

I was diagnosed with chronic stress and depression, and at a very low ebb. My GP referred me to Croydon Talking Therapies and I must admit I was sceptical at first.

However, a series of weekly online sessions with a kind, patient, knowledgeable counsellor taught me some very useful strategies to deal with low mood, and to manage anxiety. Doing the homework and working on these techniques really did help me turn things around, helped me understand myself better, and gave me confidence I'd be able to anticipate and prevent problems in the future.
