Evolve Psychotherapy - Great Yarmouth

J D11

I was at a real low point with depression and anxiety when I decided I needed to reach out find some help. I booked some sessions with Tina and I’m very glad that I did. Tina has helped me look at the way I view my thoughts and feelings and given me the tools I need to challenge those thoughts and feelings in a more positive way. As an adult male it’s difficult to admit you are struggling and need help but I felt very relaxed and comfortable talking to Tina.

I started seeing Tina after being signed off with Stress from work and I am so thankful that I did! I had a number of sessions of CBT a few years ago following burnout at work and my experience of CBT then was completely different.

I have no doubt whatsoever that Tina's insight and explanations into my thoughts and feelings and their effects on how well I deal with and cope with various situations/anxiety (& resulting depression) will absolutely have a hugely positive impact on the rest of my life from now on.

Tina is professionally empathetic and non-judgemental, no matter how "small" I felt that my own problems were. Everything that I said that felt perhaps slightly immature, trivial, selfish or sometimes maybe made no sense...received a nod of understanding and an explanation as to why I may feel the way I do.

Our sessions also bought up issues that I didn't even realise were affecting my present feelings and I was encouraged to discuss these. This was a real surprise but made an amazing amount of difference to how I feel now having finished the course.

I cannot thank Tina enough for changing my negative mindset and making me realise that actually...I have a lot to feel positive about and a world out there to be part of!

I contacted Tina at Evolve about my phobia of driving. I decided it was time to speak to someone professional about my problem and she came highly recommended. When we first met, I was really embarrassed but she put me at ease immediately. During our sessions she didn’t judge, showed complete empathy and never pushed me to do anything I wasn’t comfortable with. At our initial consultation she asked about my anxiety; how it affected my thoughts, what it stopped me doing and how it made me feel physically .... I hadn’t thought about it before but when we got talking things started to make sense. We took everything at my pace and although out of my comfort zone at times I always felt safe and supported. Part of my treatment involved a virtual reality element which was amazing; it really felt like I was sitting in a car! Four months into therapy and I’ve just had my first driving lesson - that’s something I never thought I’d say! I’m actually looking forward to the next time I get behind the wheel ... not bad for someone who had a panic attack at the thought of being left alone in the passenger seat of a parked car!!!! I would never have been able to do it without Tina’s help; she’s amazing and has changed my life.

I would most definitely recommend Tina, my sessions with her have transformed the way I look at things and process them. Due to my anxiety and worry problems I hit a very low place and thank you to Tina for her help, her understanding and her experience I am now back to liking myself again feeling very positive and am so much more in control , thank you Tina for everything it is a true gift that you give to people

Tina has been nothing short of excellent. I was looking for someone who understood TMS and could help me with extreme anxiety, compulsive perfectionism, IBS and CPPS symptoms I was experiencing. Her therapy gives you the tools to recover and more. I've been able to go from thinking non-stop, fearing pretty much everything, to actually almost being laid back! Which is crazy! Family and friends have noticed a distinct change in how I am day to day which is really great.

What I think is especially important is that I have not just been given tools to 'cope', I have been shown a process and have slowly learnt and experienced it. This isn't really something you can 'lose' once you understand it. I am now more resiliant and able to tackle the day to day with more joy and less stress.

My CPPS and IBS symptoms are now under control. I can go and do what I want without worrying about them. They are not totally gone yet, but I have many days go by without any symptoms whatsoever. I am experiencing less and less symptoms with every passing week and have no doubt I can completely resolve them with a little more time. I don't experience any pain whatsoever anymore if I get symptoms.

Overall I feel like I have control over my mind and body again!

Thanks!

Working with Tina was extremely helpful, there was a warm but structured way to each session in order for me to come to the best outcome by the end of all our sessions. Very worth while experience, with a very helpful person 😊
