Therapy 101 Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
💜 Anyone who has a small business like mine knows how vital word of mouth is. I'm so grateful to this client for taking the time to share their experience at Therapy 101. Hopefully this will inspire someone to put themselves first and book their first session 💜 Thank-you
Finally, I found the help I needed.
This review will be long because Karen really has changed my quality of life.
When I came to Karen, I had been suffering for a long time. I had been to a counsellor, who was lovely however, I found I was still experiencing internal turmoil and guilt. I came across Therapy 101 on google and on seeing social media posts by Karen and her reviews, I got a feeling she was a very caring person. I was local to Ballyclare though and felt reluctant to go to somewhere close to home, confidentiality was extremely important to me. I remember phoning Karen from a private number first (I was so concerned about privacy!) to get a sense of what she was like and ask questions about confidentiality. Karen immediately put me at ease. She knew I didn't want to tell her what the problem was yet or much about me, so she didn't push. She knew the aim of that phone call, for me, was to be reassured I could trust her. I remember getting upset during our call only because Karen was so warm, non-judgemental and caring. I felt safe from that first phone call and from then had a number of sessions with Karen. These ended about 6 months ago and I still reap the benefits of what she did for me. My biggest problem was guilt and self destruction from something I did. After my first session, I knew I could trust Karen completely. I don't trust easily and I don't find it easy to open up to people. She is very intuitive and I felt she quickly got to know me very well because she listened. She asked the right questions and picked up on nuances about me, my experiences and my reactions that I could not see before giving me a new perspective on many things. She knew how to respond to me in a way I could accept (by that I mean she sensed I did not want pity or excused and somehow managed to communicate to me in a way I would find comfortable). She explained things to me that gave me alot of clarity. She never judged me. I knew she cared. I no longer lose sleep at night over guilt, I don't punish myself anymore, I don't waste hours of my day searching my mind or the internet to find ways to forgive myself, because I have been able to now through my sessions with Karen. It's difficult to put into words how she has helped me.
Of course there will still be times I might find it hard or get triggered, but Karen has given me the tools I need to overcome those times, whereas before I could not. I am happier now and have been able to let go of so much negative weight. I honestly did not think anyone could ever help me through how I was feeling.
If this sounds like you, please think about visiting Karen. I'm so glad that in the end I did not let it put me off that Therapy 101 was local to me, otherwise I might not have found the peace I so desperately needed. 🤍
Thank you Karen!
