"My voice was important, I was always listened to"

I began my journey with Sharon, 7 months ago. I have a history of complex trauma, before I began treatment my days, nights and thoughts were dictated by my past which seeped in to all aspects of my life. 

I waited for such a long time before I reached out for help. If I had know how life-changing it would be, I would have done it sooner.

The work has been transformational. I have reclaimed my sleep, my self-worth and my life. 

Sharon's knowledge, guidance, compassion and kindness, as a highly skilled healthcare professional supported and sustained me when the sessions were tough.

She helped me create a toolbox of practical skills that actually worked, to use at home and keep me on track.

The treatment wasn't easy but I never felt alone. Treatment was done with me, not to me. My voice was important. I was always listened to.

I was able to process my most difficult memories in a place of safety. I was helped to make sense of my thoughts and feelings, I got my dignity back. 

I have grown so much. I have a new found confidence and lots and lots of hope for the future.

 NHS Forth Valley  Psychological Therapies service are exceptional and Sharon , well, there are just no words. Thank you.
