Thriving Young Minds - Bury

Thriving Young Minds is an amazing service providing very much needed support to children and young people. I have the privilege of working with one of their counsellors, Hayley, as her clinical supervisor. Hayley's passion and knowledge as a therapist is second to none. Her vision to support as many young people as possible, alongside Adele, the co-founder, is a delight to hear. The wealth of experience on the team, as a whole, is enviable, and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this service to anyone who is seeking support for their child or young person.

I started therapy with Thriving Young Minds in April, with my first session being the first time I had left the house all year. I’m writing this now having just done my last session in August, and it’s safe to say that I’ve made a huge amount of progress with my anxiety.

I worked with Adele, who was really nice and helped me make a scale which I could gradually work on week by week. I agreed to set myself a goal after every session, and was given confidence and reassurance that I could achieve what I set out to do. I also spoke about other issues I’ve had with identity and understanding emotions, and I was given validation on everything that I brought up. I learned that it is okay to be experiencing some of the feelings that I have, which has helped to take a lot off my mind. It’s also worth noting that the general atmosphere and environment of the room I was in during my sessions was lovely and I felt safe at all times.

Deciding to go here for therapy turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ll be going back to university next month, and for the first time this year I can actually say that I’m not dreading it.

I couldn’t be any happier with how this experience has turned out, thank you so much. I can’t recommend this service enough.
