In recognition of June being Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month I would like to share a testimonial from one of my male clients.
For men in particular it can still be hard to reach out for support, to be comfortable with the idea that “it’s ok not to be ok”. When a male client begins to open up in sessions and I am able to witness these barriers begin to break down it is truly an honour and a privilege to be alongside them.
“Just thought I’d drop you a line thanking you for your expertise, patience and support which you gave in my time of need. There is always trepidation when folk (especially men) are finding things tough and seem to be lost with problems that cannot be resolved as they are invisible and hard to describe.
Your help, care and guidance were really needed at my toughest times and I thank you for not judging, just for fighting in my corner. Prising open other’s mental issues must be taxing but if you don’t look at it as a burden then it makes your clients a little more calm and introspective.
Thank you again for our sessions, and though these things may never be cured and the past changed, if the present can be managed, it is indeed a blessing.”
