It has helped a great deal giving me more confidence.
In so many ways, its difficult to put into words , I feel less anxious, calmer much more self comfident more present less confused, all of which has been a revelation to me.
Gave me a better insight to myself, and why I react to certain people and situations, she made me realise that the abuse wasnt my fault , Has given me a more postitive outlool and able to cope better with situations that I find diffiuclt
and given me a lot more I have come on in leaps and bounds.
It has made me realise how child abuse was affecting my life form the discusions I have made and the patterns I hae followed understanding the effects child abuse has on a person has been a sad and painful expereince but it has also
given me power back to go forward.
I feel more confident, I feel as though I matter my self esteem is more.
Helping me to come to terms with my childhood (sexual abuse) Depends on what feelings are round a particular time.

I have been very pleased with the counselling.
It was a lovely counsellor I wish her every good wish.
I am very grateful to all the staff of stepping sotnes you have helped me in so many ways, This is an excellant service. Thank You so very very much.
I would just like to take this opportunity to say that without help over the past few weeks I would have been lost she is amazing at what she does and I would be very lucky to continue my sessions with her. She is clearly passionate
about her work and this shows when in her sessions. She has a great way of getting me to say what it is that is on my mind when this is one of my big problems.
I would just like to say a very big thank you to *** at Stepping Stones for all the help and support that you offer.
I cant remember how many years I have been coming to the group, but I want to say to everyone, stick at it hang in there if I can undo so many many years of hangups flashbacks nightmare disassociating horribly humiliating voices in
my head, being bullied etc etc then so can you.
I have spent nearly a lifetime trying to do what this group has helped me to achieve. I cnat thank ****** enough for thier expertise and stamina in coping with us all. and to Stepping Stones for their administration and keeping going.
