Testimonials

"I would like to thank Anita for helping me through my anxiety and depression and giving me the tools to help me manage in the future. Talking about my accident and visualizing my positive memories and spending more time for myself, i.e. going for walks and a finding a hobby to keep my mind active. Using EMDR has helped me cope a lot better and I feel I have a better future."

"My sessions with Anita have been invaluable. She is caring, understanding and totally non-judgemental. There is a huge difference in how I react to situations now I have finished therapy. My family have mentioned the significant change in my ability to manage previously challenging situations. Anita has been genuinely caring, but has challenged my thinking as necessary. I would absolutely recommend her. Thank you so much."

"Thanks Anita for helping me to find answers to my problems by carefully listening and gently challenging me to think in a different way and giving me tools to use and fall back on."

North Cornwall CBT is a lovely place which gives you a feeling of peace and tranquillity...you are treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality. Anita is very warm, easy to talk to and always willing to listen to any concerns and questions you may have. The sessions have been very beneficial to help me understand and establish a way to change my way of thinking which has changed my behaviour for the better. As a result, my everyday lifestyle has more positive outcomes, my worries and stress are dealt with before they become a bigger problem. By continuing to practise and enforcing these methods, the changes mean I am getting the best out of my everyday life which is not only beneficial to me, but to those around me too. I would recommend North Cornwall CBT to anyone suffering from anxiety, stress or depression....."

"When I first went to North Cornwall CBT, I was anxious, depressed, angry and feeling unworthy and having nightmares. Through having therapy, I have found myself stronger, getting fitter, in the right mind-set which has helped with the nightmares. All thanks to North Cornwall CBT".

"Very friendly and safe. It is a place where there is no judgement on how you feel. Things that might be really silly or stupid to yourself, are actually normal to feel and you get help to understand these feelings. Also you get given so many tools to help with every emotion. It's okay to not be okay, there are people here to help....so helpful, thank you for making me feel me again."

"Anita, I would like to thank you for all of your help. I am without doubt in a better place now and able to deal with any feelings in a more positive manner. I am sure, on rare occasions in the future, I will be using all my coping mechanisms".

"At first I felt uncomfortable talking about myself and my feelings, but after 2-3 sessions, I got to know Anita better and felt that she understood me and what was going on with me....I felt more comfortable. I started to look forward to our sessions and sharing my thoughts and happenings. I particularly enjoyed talking about my late husband and good memories of our time together."

"Excellent. I feel like a new person. Anita has done a great job. I can now move forward with my life as I should have done many years ago".

"I have recently received therapy through North Cornwall CBT. It has been extremely worth while and has allowed me to share experiences/challenges in my life and talk these through at length. During my sessions, I have learnt valued methods to cope with situations that arise and how to put closure to them.
Being able to talk freely with someone who is impartial and allowing you to feel unjudged helped the process dramatically. Although I was extremely guarded at first and I guess embarrassed this soon faded away as I was made to feel relaxed and reassured that this was just temporary and needed help and support to work through this difficult time in my life.
I would highly recommend therapy to anyone who is feeling anxious, depressed or vulnerable. I am now able to return to my life and gain control and use my experience in a positive way to help and signpost others."
