I have received counselling over a period of many years for a variety of reasons from many different counsellors when I have needed it I have had an excellent experience of trauma counselling at Lifecentre I have found every member of the team to be kind and genuine and have felt respected by all of the team I have always had a quick response when I have phoned and left a message or when I have emailed in I have used the telephone helpline while in was on the waiting list and felt heard and witnessed and having that helpline in place helped me to get the immediate response and support that I needed on a particularly tough day I have experienced counselling with Lifecentre both face to face and over the phone Both experiences are equally as effective I could even have accessed face to face via zoom but chose not to because that medium doesnt work for me My decisions about how I wanted to receive counselling have been heard and respected I am at the end of the current experience of counselling with Lifecentre Throughout this experience I have felt valued, heard and witnessed My counsellor maintains professional boundaries and reflects back to me with empathy and kindness She has helped me bolster my psychological tool box by bringing new information and new methods to my attention that Ive used and will continue to use in the future At every session shes has checked at the outset, at various times throughout and at the end on how I am doing and asked what I will do to take care of myself following the session She has responded to all of my individual needs and shown great insight into everything Ive brought into the sessions Im so thankful that I was guided to Lifecentre and recommend them as a counselling service

After about 2 years of therapy, my life has honestly taken a 180 degree turn and I am forever grateful for all the support I received. My counsellor was always honest and made me feel welcome. I knew I was safe and could tell her exactly how I felt. She gave me the confidence to make decisions I needed to make. My symptoms of PTSD and flashbacks were reduced by finding good coping strategies. I finally understood parts of myself as I could see how what happened caused feelings which impacted on my behaviour. For anyone reading this, I hope that you get the support you deserve and know that Lifecentre are a fantastic team who are there to help you. I was stubborn and didn't think they would help but honestly, I can't put in words how much they did for me despite my initial reservations!! :-)
