Blue Talking Therapies - North Shields

My 9-year-old daughter, Emily, has struggled with Emetophobia (a severe fear of seeing or hearing vomiting). We were recommended Blue Talking Therapies, and from the very first session with Liam over Teams, we knew we were in good hands.

Liam was absolutely brilliant with Emily—he made her feel comfortable and tailored everything to her level. Before therapy, Emily would scream and shake uncontrollably if she saw or heard someone being sick. Over the course of seven CBT sessions, including exposure therapy, Liam provided her with the tools and techniques to manage her fear.

Since completing her sessions, Emily has shown a huge improvement. Her progress has even been tested in real-life situations, and we’re so pleased that the techniques Liam taught her have worked! We can’t thank Liam and Blue Talking Therapies enough for their support. Highly recommend!

I came across blue talking therapies after being advised the wait for NHS was 10 months and I am so glad I did. David Rae was so friendly and made me feel very at ease in all of our sessions and his understanding was extremely valuable given how anxious I was. I can’t thank David enough for helping me get my life back with coping strategies I can now take forward with me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend blue talking therapies to anyone who needed it. Thank you again David you really are amazing!

First time I’ve had Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and it’s been such a great experience with Blue Talking Therapies.

I reached out after struggling with panic attacks for quite some time and my therapist David Rae has completely changed my life.

Communication from the company was great. The sessions are very well structured with lots of advice, coping techniques and theories I could take home to put into practice. Panic attacks were taking over my life and leaving me in very emotional states. We immediately worked through reducing my panic attacks: learning how to cope with them, understanding what was generating them and then got to a stage where they declined rapidly and stopped!

I really enjoyed the closing sessions where we took the time to do a value based exercise to help me see what is important in my life. We then put a plan together on what activities I could do to strengthen those values. We also did some relapse prevention work for my last session which was a lovely time to reflect and has filled me with so much reassurance that panic attacks will not take over my life how they have before.

I’m so thankful for David’s support. Panic attacks put my life at a standstill. Now to have overcome it I’m so excited to live my life and make the most of it. This would not have been possible without Blue Talk Therapies support. I will not hesitate to reach out again if I ever needed to talk through things. Thanks again.

I spent a few weeks with David Rae and his help and guidance has been so much more than I could ever have expected. My life has changed so much for the better and he has given me so many tips and techniques to help me deal with anxieties I had after life changing physical condition. I met many of the staff at Blue Talking Therapies and they are all so warm and welcoming. I can’t recommend them more highly.

First therapy experience and I had the best luck with Blue Talking Therapies. My therapist, Andrew, was extremely respectful of my feelings and really challenged me to work on difficult topics at my own rhythm and time. Nothing slipped his mind!!! He always remembered the important pieces of our discussion and went back to them to address them together. I feel so much better, positive and with a sense of confidence I did not have at the start of this journey. Thank you Andrew, you truly are outstanding in what you do!

I can’t thank Becci and her amazing team enough for helping and supporting me through some difficult times, I started to suffer from Panic attacks which lead to our family holiday being cancelled. Got to admit I was very nervous and pretty emotional on my first visit to Blue but was soon made to feel very relaxed and worthy of being there. It’s a really lovely calming environment, the staff are wonderful. I can honestly say I am a different person and think totally differently to what I did before. There is no need for any of us to suffer in silence when there’s fantastic help out there with Blue x

Liam at Blue Talking Therapies has really helped my 10-year-old enormously. He's not only built his confidence in situations he feels are challenging to him, he's helped him develop the life skill of going towards his fears to overcome them. He now knows he can look at the evidence of what is really there, rather than what his fearful and often very creative imagination tells him is there - in order to overcome anxious thoughts and feelings. He's amazing, my son loves Liam and is so much more confident in life. Thank you so much
