Our own thoughts can be our worst enemy

I felt stuck in a rut
and was finding no real way out of it

Having had depression and anxiety plague my life for many years, I had tried some therapies and never found that anything had really worked for me. I felt stuck in a rut and was finding no real way out of it. Good days were overshadowed by terribly bad ones and I was at the end of my tether. Then, through a referral, I chose to see Judith via an online video call.

From the first session, Judith's compassion and ability to listen was outstanding. With each session, I delved into unchartered territory with my thoughts and came to solutions through CBT. Judith's 'jury' analogy has really helped me understand how our own thoughts can be our worst enemy when the reality can be entirely different.

I can't thank Judith enough for allowing me to talk about and uncover previously tough subjects. The tools I have gained through her guidance, knowledge and observations have given me the opportunity to lead the best quality of life I have ever had. Judith expertly enabled me to see and acknowledge my own attributes and how to embrace them. I would recommend anyone to use her invaluable service.
