Accountants, students, retirees, families – people from all walks of life and with a range of challenges have turned to our talking therapy for support. And the benefits don’t stop when the sessions end. See how talking therapy has helped others improve their mental well-being. 

I had 6 sessions. In the first 1 I was very nervous, and I found explaining everything afresh difficult, but I quickly realised I was in safe hands and my counsellor was excellent. I was able to piece together when had happened, how far I'd come and how I was feeling.

I called caba; they saw that I needed help fast and got me access to a counsellor very quickly. With support I realised that I did in fact have the capacity to look after myself. My self-awareness increased, and I worked on my mental fitness.
