Short Term

My counsellor’s method of explaining my delusions to me & teaching me how to recognise my paranoias and how to cope with them calmly.

I was feeling on a meltdown, now I feel I’m in a calmer state. It’s progress.

The service was good, but waiting time is too long. If someone has no other resources or is feeling very low, this can be extremely difficult to cope with.

The sessions helped me to look at things in a different way. Also it helped to release pressure out of my chest.

Felt like a private, secure space to explore issues outside of the mental health system.

It came at just the right time and saved me from having to use medication.

I found NEECS to be a great, friendly user-focused service & I’m appreciative of the accessibility to people on low incomes.

I have been able to identify skills to help me deal with issues in my life.

I've applied for long term counselling. I feel that I have just begun but I'm proud of progress so far.
