“I no longer self-harm. I love myself and feel fantastic”
"What I would say to another young person who was unsure about counselling is, try it, they won’t judge you, counselling
helped me be positive about school; I’m in a better place.." - Sam 19


“I thought I wouldn’t be able to work when I came, but I have started a job and it’s going well”
"It’s good not having to depend on
my parents. I realise now that I can go to college anytime. I will go back, but I just want to spend the next year getting
myself back together" - Ruby 21


“Today I’m leaving counselling
more assertive and no more
panic attacks”
"I still have some anxiety, but I think that’s normal and good for me, really. I think I have had some anxiety since I was a child; can’t really expect it all to go, but I feel now I have a better understanding and am better able to rationalise my thinking.." - Polly 30


"My life changed forever"
"My daughter who doesn't like to
talk about her emotions, came
out and broke down in tears of
relief”." - Niah 45
