Starting off for 2026, we’re thrilled to share some heartfelt words of gratitude from an employee reflecting on their journey with our Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, Maria.
📝 “The first thing that stuck with me is something Maria told me in our first session: ‘You weren’t born like this! You were conditioned to believe that’s the right way to be. I need you to believe that these things you feel about yourself or the world, you were not born with.’
I now have a reminder set on my phone that tells me this every morning! This is the best I’ve felt as a person for as long as I can remember. I still have lots of work to do but I now have the tools and strategies to help me.
Maria has taught me that I matter, and I need to love and take care of myself. I’m ok to make mistakes – that’s normal. I need to treat myself like I would treat a best friend or my wife and kids. Maria, I can’t thank you enough. I truly believe you’ve saved my marriage and given me the confidence to get on with my life and live it to the full.
I still have a long way to go, but I’m not worried about the future – quite the opposite, I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead. I’m sure there will be challenges I’ll struggle with, but I have the tools to meet them head-on.”
Feedback like this highlights the profound impact that compassionate, professional care can have on every aspect of someone’s life, far beyond just the workplace. We’re so proud all of the incredible work our team does to support people on their journeys.
