Mr G.
5/5
I expressed to my manager at work ( Waste Industry - HGV driver ) that I would like to take up the offer of supportive counselling . This was in the summer of 2017 . Jan 2017 my Advanced Aggressive Prostate Cancer had spread , very painfully to my spine and also my wife was breaking down . We were already seperated from late 2016 but this put further stress and pressure on me , having two teenage daughters . I received counselling therapy from Adele , a clinical psychologist , who uses the centre . The centre has adequate parking , lovely friendly staff and the room we used , overlooked the busy road . This helped me , as talking about things was not always easy and I used to like watching the world go buy , to help me cope . I did not maximise the therapy time entirely on resolving , Mental Health issues and Adele made this clear in her final report to myself and my company . However the time spent there , helped me cope without burdening my friends or immediate family and the work I did with Adele helped me progress . Also I have the confidence and ability to recognise certain behaviours much sooner . So now I am seeking help with my Hospice , as 2019 was a horrendous year for me , in terms of pain , setbacks to such a degree that recently I was at a point , that I had months left to live . Now , new medication has turned that around , new expensive medication . So hopefully once Covid19 clears , I can begin one to one counselling with someone at the hospice because I have recognised , that I have mild depression . Quite understandable , considering my circumstances , what I have been through , the bigger picture etc . So thank you to everyone at the centre , Karen Barton and of course Adele . I recommend this place wholeheartedly .... Best wishes to Everybody - Kevin - B'ham April 2020
