"Anxiety and mental health"

About: Talking Therapies Rotherham

(as the patient),

I was suffering a bout of anxiety (I have had anxiety for as long as I can remember) this particular one I could feel getting worse and knew I had to get help as soon as I could. I was given NHS Talking therapist self referral number by my GP as counselling had such a big wait and I’m so glad they did this service is absolutely amazing!

I self referred and within a few days  had a call from one of the therapist about an appointment and I have to say that that the therapist I’ve spoken to over the last few months ( Kerry )  has been an absolute god Send ! The act of kindness and attention to care have been second to none and came at such a challenging time for me I feel the rehabilitation has been professional and also uplifting to me and has made such a positive difference in recovery even though I know I will still get bouts of anxiety I have been provided tools by Kerry to help deal with any issues that arise. I have been provided with lots of information on how to deal and help when I’m feeling anxious and I think that the service that Kerry has provided for me in particular has been incredible I honestly can not thank her and this service enough.

I would be grateful if you could pass this on to Kerry from talking therapist and thank her from the bottom of my heart

Good afternoon earthmp69,

Oh wow, this feedback is amazing to read! It sounds like you and Kerry had a fantastic relationship, and that your hard work has left you feeling more confident in managing your anxiety in the future. I'm so pleased that your GP let you know about the service so you were able to self-refer and start sessions so quickly.

To read that the support you received from Kerry was so uplifting as well as professional is wonderful. That is exactly the standard of care we set out to provide to everybody that refers into Talking Therapies.

I have sent the link to your feedback to Kerry, and I know it will make her day to know that you've taken the time to share this. Thank you so much.

Kindest regards,

Faye

Clinical Lead
