How shine counselling therapy has helped me
Neurodiverse Challenges
I have long suspected I may be on the autistic spectrum. I have been able to explore this with Denise in a way that doesn’t feel as though there’s something wrong with me and how I process the world, and she shows a good understanding and awareness of how I may process things differently than others.
Low self confidence
Therapy has made me see things differently and appreciate me as a person better than I used to feel about myself – it taught me that I need to try and put myself first and do what is better for me – I reflect on my therapy conversations and try to think before going back to how I was.
Anxiety and self doubt
Denise's expertise in the field of mental health is evident in every session. She has provided me with valuable insights and practical strategies to help me manage my anxieties. Her guidance has helped me to tap into my own strengths and experiences and take control of my mental health journey.
