WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

• “After going through one of the hardest times of my life and a difficult break up, I felt lost and that I had no one to talk to.

  
  

  I was recommended Sam by someone who had previously used her services before. I wanted to let out all the emotions and thoughts I had kept to myself for such a long time, and for someone to make sense of them for me. Sam was a good listener and helped me understand what had happened and why. She also helped me to forgive myself and move on from the guilt I was feeling.

  
  

  I had previously tried talking to friends and family, but that also made me feel worse. As Sam was neither, she had a totally neutral look on everything. I am so glad I made the call to Sam when I did, the relief I felt after just speaking to her for the first time over the phone was so good, I knew my mental health would decline further if I didn’t do anything about it soon. By our last session together, I felt my mind was clear for the first time in over a year. I felt happy and excited for the future again, and most of all I felt deserving of all this.

  
  

  I can’t thank her enough and if you are in a bad point in your life, I urge you to make that first step by emailing or calling Sam to make a appointment, you won’t regret it :)”

• “Last year I decided to invest more in my mental health after my anxiety had hit an all time high due to a breakup and stressful job. My main symptom of anxiety was quite severe OCD, and I hadn’t spoken to anyone about it before. After doing lots of research, I decided to take the plunge and meet Sam from A Healthier Mind to see if she could help me. I chose Sam because I liked the fact she was trained in multiple approaches as I wasn’t sure which one would help.

  
  

  From the first session, Sam put me at ease and I felt able to open up, despite never having told anyone about my OCD for nearly 20 years! Sam helped me work through why I had these thoughts and feelings, and strategies for how to acknowledge and manage them. The main point for me was that I became so much more aware of my thought patterns, which enabled me to challenge my intrusive thoughts. I can’t explain how freeing this was, and made me feel like I had control of my mind back.

   

  Just over a year on from my first session, I am such a calmer, happier person and my OCD-related thoughts have diminished significantly. If they do pop up I now have the tools to be able to work through them. This has enabled me to get on with living my life rather than being stuck in my head the whole time. It’s no exaggeration to say that my sessions with Sam changed my life and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you Sam!”
