★★★★★ 5 stars I had been trying very hard, by myself, and then with various practitioners, to deal with anxiety. After 4 years, and not much progress, depression set in and I lost myself in that black hole. My wonderful husband suggested I try seeing Richard at Mind Support. On arrival to our first session I felt very anxious and vulnerable. Once settled in the lazyboy, with a blanket on my knee, and a wonderful view out the window, so I didn’t have to talk face-to-face if I couldn’t, I began to slowly settle. We discussed what was going on for me, and he explained the process. My investment at this point was minimal, as all I could do was cry every time I opened my mouth. Richard was sooo patient, allowing me to respond to questions in my own time, which at that point, made things very slow (sorry Richard).

As the weekly sessions went on, I gradually, with guidance, began to chip away at the anxiety, with strategies to address and alter my inner thought processes. Each new strategy took me very gradually forward, until I began to feel different in myself, and a little bit of happiness began to creep in. The final Timeline exercise was a long process, but the benefits were great. I walked away from that last session feeling myself again, and wondered how long I could hold on to that for. I didn’t need to worry about that though, as Richard had given me all the tools along the way to address the first signs of anxiety or depression as they came up. They are simple strategies. And they literally saved my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
