Testimonial
“Without the continued help and support I have received from my counsellor at Beyond Blue, I don’t think I would be here today. Their help has been ‘the glue’ that has enabled me to start piecing my life gradually back together again, after reaching breaking point!
The continued support has meant, when pieces started to fall apart again, I still had ‘the glue’ helping me to put them back in place and not reach breaking point again.
It’s a long process and I think I will always need some counselling support… I have continuous pain medication prescribed for my long-term health condition, but NHS mental health support is mainly limited to 6 sessions and extremely hard to get. It seems accepted, by the NHS, physical health needs long term medication, but mental health counselling is expected to ‘cure you’ in 6 sessions.
I received support from Beyond Blue quicker than the NHS and they have provided me with long term support, which, is what I need.
More counsellors, like those at Beyond Blue, are essential. However, I do understand more funding is needed to help provide the essential service they offer. I do hope they will be able to secure more funding, so they can continue to help individuals like myself and others like me, in the future.
I will be eternally grateful for their continued help and support.”
