Earlier this year I commenced CBT with Alex. I suffer from anxiety which had worsened over the last year partly due to a big event I had to attend abroad.

It had become acute and was interfering in the enjoyment of my life and I was starting to avoid doing things. I have had counselling before but have not experienced any changes with my anxiousness over the years. Therefore it was with some scepticism that I entered into CBT as my family were insistent that I should give it a try.

Well I have been proved wrong. Over the weeks and months Alex has worked hard to help me work through my condition. My scepticism has turned to wonderment. I cannot believe the change CBT has made to my life. The event came and went and I suffered no anxiety and enjoyed the holiday that followed. I have since been enjoying life and although there have been times when I have felt myself relapsing, I put in place all that I have learnt and the recovery is very swift. CBT worked where other counselling failed I will always be grateful to Alex and his patience and I know that if the anxiety ever gets bad again I can call on him.
