In October 2022, I came across my friend’s positive therapy experience and my curiosity piqued. I didn’t think I had any traumatic events or significant “mental health issues” at the time, but wanted to seek therapy to address my constant anxiety and lack of confidence. I had bi-weekly and sometimes weekly sessions with Alice over the course of 8-9 months, and these sessions have truly changed the way I think of myself and my approach to life.
As June 2023 approaches, Alice suggested that I could start “graduating” from our sessions and attend them less frequently. It was during this conversation that she also asked me to write a testimonial, which led me to reflect on the incredible progress I’ve made during my therapy journey.
Over the course of 8-9 months, these sessions have truly been life-changing. They have fundamentally altered the way I perceive myself, and I’m now more aware of my own strengths and potential. Alice’s professionalism and patience have been invaluable throughout this process. I greatly appreciate her approach of asking me thought-provoking questions, delving into how I feel and why I react in certain ways, rather than imposing her own opinions on me. This method has allowed me to develop a habit of introspection and self-analysis in my daily life.
Furthermore, as I began to experience a greater sense of inner peace, I found myself adopting new habits such as meditation, reading, prayer, exercise, and improved sleep patterns. I now understand the importance of actively working on my emotional well-being and striving for emotional stability and self-awareness. Maintaining this positive emotional state has become a priority for me.
I cannot express enough gratitude for the positive impact Alice has had on my life. Through her guidance and support, I have not only overcome my initial anxieties but also developed a newfound sense of self-confidence and inner harmony. The tools and insights she has provided me with will continue to shape my personal growth long after our sessions come to an end.
I am still a work in progress, and currently, I am focusing on cultivating the resilience of my mind. With Alice’s guidance, I have made significant strides in this area. One crucial lesson I have learned is to speak kinder to myself. Alice has helped me recognize the power of self-compassion and the impact of positive self-talk. I now consciously choose to be more gentle and encouraging in the way I address myself, fostering a healthier and more supportive inner dialogue.
Thank you, Alice, for your unwavering professionalism, patience, and genuine care. Your therapeutic expertise and compassionate approach have been instrumental in transforming my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone seeking therapy.
S.T.
