Testimonials – Simply Therapy https://www.simplytherapy.co.uk Counselling & Therapy Services, Rossendale, Bury, Greater Manchester Wed, 22 Nov 2017 11:44:03 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Following a road traffic accident /?p=596 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 11:41:25 +0000 http://www.simplytherapy.co.uk/?p=596 I was unable to get back in the car I was having panic attacks, getting really anxious, over thinking and stressing. Following the work with Jan where she applied CBT techniques amongst others I now am back in the car and able to do long distance travelling and I manage and cope, using the techniques she taught me to move forward in my life rather than before I was avoiding and it seriously affected my life and relationships

Following a road traffic accident I was not able to sleep, waking up sweating and having nightmares and flashbacks of the accident. With therapy, now I sleep soundly and have applied the strategies taught to my own life and my confidence and belief in my self has improved, I imagine the best and the best happens whereas in the past I imagined the worst and stayed in “stuck mode”

    Just wanted to give you some feedback on my sessions. I have benefitted from them enormously. I can count on one hand the amount of times I have had a beer and even then I really haven’t enjoyed it. I much preferred iced water or diet coke. I am much more positive and feel happier in my choices.(Hypnotherapy client to control binge drinking)

    I have been a persistent nail biter for almost my entire life and have tried numerous ways, including hypnosis, to try breaking this habit, yet I have always reverted back to my old ways. The hypnotherapeutic experience was relaxing due to the therapists expertise in hypnosis. The sessions made me forget about my worries, concentrate on the hostility I held towards my habit and look to a future without my embarrassing habit.  I would strongly recommend  hypnotherapy as  I no longer bite my nails.

    I’m doing really well lost half a stone in two weeks and hoping to lose a stone before my holiday. Everything seems to be falling into place for me 🙂 I really appreciate everything you have done for me”  (Hypnotherapy client for weight loss)

    Time and space to breathe /?p=98 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 15:36:08 +0000 http://www.simplytherapy.co.uk/?p=98 the counselling sessions i have with Jan give me the time and space to address issues that i have been aware of but have not had the knowledge or experience to resolve. Jan guides me and enables me in a totally safe, confidential non judgmental atmosphere, to gain insight, understanding and clarity which then provides me with ways to move forward.

    Helping our employee absenteeism /?p=96 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 15:33:24 +0000 http://www.simplytherapy.co.uk/?p=96 We have a business in Bury and have had to loose 2 employees and  in the past where their absenteeism due to their mental health condition impacted substantially on the team n business performance. As a caring employer we made allowances with reduction in hours and even accepted telephone calls on the day where the individual was unable to get to work which meant we had to put heavy pressure on the rest of the team members. As a consequence we had to re advertise, recruit and retrain new employees which had additional cost implications and affected our turnover until the staff were fully trained.

    This time when we were faced with a situation where the staff member was suffering from depression and other issues we decided to try using the service from Jan as a counsellor and just after 3 sessions the difference in the employee was considerable and now the individual is back to work on a full time capacity, motivation back and drive and performance has exceeded. I wish I had made the refferals earlier as we have the best interest of our staff and want happy fully functional team members that are an asset to our organisation.

    Relationship darkness /?p=46 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 16:22:43 +0000 http://www.simplytherapy.co.uk/?p=46 I have had a number of problems with my relationship with my partner and could not see the wood from the trees! When I spoke to my friends they just told me to leave or said what they thought I wanted to hear.

    Having seen Jan my Counsellor I immediately saw her warmth, felt comfortable and could see she was genuine, sincere and non judgemental and felt at ease being able to work through my concerns in a step by step way and being able to put an action plan in place that I knew would work and help me handle my stressful and volatile relationship with my partner.

    From the pool of darkness Jan enabled me to calmly go through my inner feelings and find the meaning and work through the issues in a meaningful way and deal with them which makes me feel empowered and positive about my existence and future. She has given me tools to be able to deal with concerns and this feels so enrichening and rewarding.

    Anxiety Attacks /?p=44 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 16:21:47 +0000 http://www.simplytherapy.co.uk/?p=44 Well what can I say but thank you! I have seen Jan for 9 psychotherapy sessions and now can sleep at nigh without having panic and anxiety attacks! My counsellor really listened, she did not judge me or ridicule me, I felt warm and safe and was able to say what my true inner feelings were.

    Jan seemed to press the right buttons and got me to look at issues from different perspective and then be able to reach my own solution that was right for me. Then I put the thoughts and feelings into action which give me a sense of control of my destiny for the first time and giving me a positive spring to my step.

    I now actually believe in myself, think carefully, analysing the affects of my actions before making rash uncontrolled decisions and I can move forward and be able to achieve what I want from my life.

    Untangle my thoughts /?p=42 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 16:20:45 +0000 http://www.simplytherapy.co.uk/?p=42 I have been a clients of Jan at Simply Therapy, having had 6 counselling sessions. I had been waiting to see a counsellor for 5 months with my GP surgery through the NHS and was told that that it can take a long time to be seen through the system.

    When I asked my Doctor how much longer I had to wait she could not give me a time-scale and suggested I see Jan Joshi and the practice sent the referral form and I was contacted and seen within 24 hours!

    I have found Jan’s support to be fantastic she has helped me to untangle and explore my  thoughts and feelings and enabled me to be able to in my own pace work through the issues that I have and put in place strategies in being able to deal with my problems, making me stronger and supporting me to take control and deal with my troubling concerns and  what life has thrown at me!

    Now I have regained my self esteem and confidence and have put in place measures and worked through my problems and can move on postively in my life.
