At Mental Health Matters Wales (MHM Wales), we understand that seeking support can be a daunting step. Many people carry silent burdens—unspoken worries, deep-seated fears, and the weight of past experiences. Talking Connections provides a safe, confidential space where individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions without judgement, helping them gain clarity, resilience, and self-awareness.
P recently shared their experience with Talking Connections, describing how counselling helped them navigate emotional challenges and brought about meaningful change in their life.
A Safe and Supportive Space
From the outset, P felt genuinely heard and supported by their counsellor, Vicky Mew. They spoke about how the sessions allowed them to express their feelings openly and without fear of being judged.
"I consider myself very lucky to have been matched with a therapist who was kind and supportive throughout. At no point did I feel as though my problems were silly or overstated. I was met with no judgements and patience throughout."
The ability to share freely in a compassionate and understanding environment made a significant difference in P’s experience, reinforcing the importance of trust in the therapeutic process.
Building Confidence and Understanding
One of the key aspects of effective therapy is collaboration between the individual and their counsellor. P highlighted how they worked together with Vicky Mew, which gave them confidence in both themselves and the techniques they explored during sessions.
"Vicky and I agreed on how to work together, which helped me feel more confident in myself and in the techniques we used."
This partnership played a vital role in their progress, helping them develop a stronger sense of self and a more positive outlook.
A Transformative Experience
Counselling is not just about talking—it’s about learning, healing, and developing resilience. With Vicky’s guidance, P experienced a significant shift in how they perceived themselves and others, which led to meaningful personal growth.
"I have noted a significant difference in my perception of myself and others around me, in how I manage my emotional vulnerabilities and deal with difficult thoughts and feelings. This is a change I do not think would have been achievable had I not started therapy."
These words highlight the life-changing impact that counselling can have, helping people gain the tools and understanding they need to move forward.
