Minds Matter by FSK Therapy - Stockton-on-Tees

Loretta Snowball

I met Fran when I was in the darkest of places. My world was falling apart, and I spent every waking moment consumed by terror. My mind was filled with never-ending mental noise, making it impossible to concentrate and carry out the simplest of tasks.

I have suffered from anxiety and depression since the age of 17 and have been reliant on antidepressants ever since.

From the moment I met Fran, I felt safe and instantly calmer. After our initial introduction session, Fran recommended EMDR trauma therapy.
EMDR aims to alter the way these traumatic memories are stored within the brain, so that you can think of these memories in a more logical way and experience less distress when doing so.

I have since had twelve sessions of EMDR therapy, where I was able to process, in a safe environment, the past traumatic events of my childhood.

Fran helped me get my life back and although each session was difficult, I came out with an underlying feeling of positivity. I could sense that I was making progress and I felt hopeful about the future, which is something I had never experienced with therapy before this. For the first time in a lifetime I am happier, calmer, and feel at peace.

I hope in sharing this, I can help open the minds of others to try a therapy that has completely transformed my life.

Best wishes,
Loretta

From personal experience I simply can't rate Fran highly enough. She is a wonderful therapist who has helped me move forward in my life to a degree I never thought possible. Fran is so kind caring intuitive and supportive as well as being amazingly knowledgeable and highly skilled. Thanks to working with her I am now in a place where life is good and I am so very grateful to Fran for that. If you are looking for an excellent therapist then look no further.

I am so grateful for the support I have received from FSK Therapy. From my personal experience I unreservedly recommend them.

I went into therapy because I was mentally very unwell. After a few sessions I was calmer, empowered and centred in a way that I hadn’t known was possible. It was honestly life changing.

My therapist was incredibly skilled throughout. Her experience, guidance and effective strategies kept me safe at all times. She was also very kind and compassionate. giving me both hope and healing when I thought neither were possible.

The positive effects of the therapy don’t end when the sessions do. The ‘homework’ that I did between sessions involved practical exercises that I still return to keep myself balanced when life gets a bit challenging.

All my sessions were easily booked, offered at times that suited me and incredibly good value for money.

If you are looking for help and support please don’t hesitate to contact FSK.

I cannot begin to explain the ways in which Fran has helped me. She is the epitome of professionalism. Fran's natural way of interaction allows for such a sense of safety and comfort. She is non judgmental and incredibly knowledgeable due to her many years being a specialist in her field. I could not recommend her enough.

Fran is both personable and professional and was a great help to me when I was in need. She offered me support, encouragement and gave me the required tools to use going forward, cementing in positive beliefs using Belief Coding. Thank you Fran
