A client of Clear Minds:I am a single parent with adolescent children who has suffered high anxiety and poor self worth for much of my adult life. I have accessed short term support as and when I could, but long term therapy is beyond my financial grasp. After a build up of anxiety and traumatic experiences, I recently experienced an acute mental health breakdown. I was left reeling, confused and overwhelmed by the experience of being sectioned under the Mental Health Act and my resulting stay in psychiatric hospitals. On discharge there was no one-to-one therapy available to me and I could not afford to pay for private long term counselling. I would have been left without any access to this kind of talking therapy, were it not for Clear Minds. To know that I now have weekly, long term sessions with the same therapist is in itself reassuring, calming & empowering. I’m both humbled and immensely grateful to Clear Minds for providing me with this opportunity to know myself, to grow and to feel better, so I can better take care of myself and my family.
