My life has completely changed since coming to Advance Beyond for mental wellbeing support. Apart from the one-to-one support I receive, I have had assistance with sorting out many issues in my life.. be that financial, physical and emotional. I don’t feel alone anymore and my issues and problems aren’t as overwhelming because I have a network of people who have lived experience supporting me.
I was introduced to Jayne at Advance Beyond 6 wks ago and over this period we have met 4 times. I've gone from being a wreck to feeling more positive about my future in many ways. I've worked with the exercises set for me and believe these play a big part in understanding myself and to love myself. I trust Jayne with sharing my fears and failures as there's no judgement only empathy. I feel I'm not on my own anymore trying to fight this battle in my head and beginning to see some light. Thank you for this safe place.
Firstly, I hope you don't mind me messaging you.
Thank you for yesterday, I felt really energised leaving your session.
I have attended a few talking therapies in the past and never really felt heard. However, I felt you held the space well and listened to what I had to say.
Thank you and I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
I wanted to thank you for all your support so far and for bringing my passion for play therapy back. I started to lose my passion while working and then while being off on the start of my maternity leave. And now I'm starting to get excited again about a new project and journey. I know it's just the start but thank you for your encouragement.
Jayne and Tracy have been hands on with me and helped me with decluttering in turn its has helped my mental health. With moving I needed help with strategies and making new rountines essential . They made it more manageable for me mentally and physically and I now call them my angels. Thank you x
I have been attending meetings since my mental health got so bad and I didn't know where to turn. The waiting lists for support are lengthy as services are so over stretched. I have a son who has a disability and his school said they couldn't meet his needs and due to him not being at school this in turn affected my work/finances and then my self worth and mental health.
I felt like I was trying to navigate a system I knew nothing about and as my mind become more and more exhausted I started falling at more and more hurdles. Everything become so difficult even pulling myself out of bed most days felt more than I could handle. Personal care like brushing my hair and teeth was so low on my priority list. I was drowning, Completely alone.
I started these sessions with Jayne and instantly felt the pressure lifting! There is alot to be said about having someone in your corner to listen, advice and assist. Little by little I started feeling like I could do anything again there was light at the end of the tunnel.
The support has come in many different forms and the positive change this has had for me so far is unimaginable. I am not naive, there are thousands of other people going through tough times like me and many in a much more difficult situations … if these services could reach and help more people the difference it could make would life changing and to some life saving!
