 After trying a number of therapists and also a psychologist over various points in my life (none of which had any impact) I was thankfully recommended to (Calming Minds Therapist). At the time I was going through the most stressful point in my life and was suffering from panic attacks and insomnia (resulting in a max three hours sleep a night). Physically and mentally I was a mess and at that point nothing seemed to be working. From my very first session (Calming Minds Therapist) tapped into what was going wrong and ways to provide relief. Throughout the 6 month period I addressed a lifetime of CPTSD. I must stress that there wasn’t one particular trauma but “just” baggage which had accumulated over my 40plus years. I would definitely recommend that anyone suffering anxiety (whether low level or acute) access this therapy. The EMDR and sleep relearning process we followed was revolutionary and I found it helped me both at the time to provide immediate relief and also as time has gone on and I an now far more resilient. This in real terms means that i spend less time worrying about what’s being said about me at work or at the school gates and instead I am free to plough my energies into my career and family. I’ve just secured my dream job because I was able to sell my true worth due my self confidence being the strongest it’s ever been. Thank you from the bottom of heart.

 My (Calming Minds Supervisor) has been instrumental in my development as a competent therapist. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in providing therapy, supervision and associated research. She utilises a mixture of skills and supervision styles to aid my development as a therapist and to guide evidenced based treatment. Her approach is extremely supportive and genuine with a calming and reassuring nature. I would highly recommend anyone seeking clinical supervision to work with Calming Minds.

 I was experiencing flashbacks and nightmares in relation to the death of my mother which were distressing me. I was also experiencing guilt which was impacting my sleep efficiency and functioning at work. (Calming Minds Therapist) helped me to develop a shared understanding and make sense of my difficulties. She explained that the traumatic events I had experienced were not properly processed in the brain when they happened and that this was the reason that they were continuing to affect me with nightmares, flashbacks, and feelings that the trauma was happening again even though my mother had died in 2021. With the therapists help, I was able to process what had happened using EMDR and move on from the experience. I am able to look forward to the future now and I don’t experience any distress when I think about what has happened.
