I'm so glad I embarked on this journey and I want to share my gratitude towards the Newham Talking Therapy team and specifically my therapist Ella. I love the fact that it wasn't a "passive" listening session, but a practical approach aimed at improving mental health on a daily basis, with very tangible techniques. The therapist was calm, understanding and supportive. I highly recommend this if you want to feel mentally healthy and improve your outlook on life!

I am so grateful to Anna for providing me with the tools and support I needed to tackle an issue I had for decades. My quality of life has improved significantly during therapy - the course was structured enough to work to an objective framework but flexible enough to allow sessions to be fluid when needed. Anna checked in with me regularly to make sure session content was as relevant and valuable as possible. Anna was thoughtful, conscientious, supportive and encouraging at all times.

I worked with the amazing, patient and knowledgeable Ilknur Sahin, and from the start felt better about my depression and my current state of being. She was professional and measured throughout, but never allowed me to be lazy, to lose track, or to give up. The CBT skills I did with her were completely new to me, have honestly made a significant difference to my mental health, and I feel now I have a toolkit to proceed carefully into the future. I particularly appreciated practical exercises and resources she was able to explain, and then allow me to go away and try. These have become part of my day-to-day life, and I do feel like their are the 'medicine' I need to carry on, where previously I felt there were brick walls all around me. I liked very much that this was not just a 'listening' approach, but that Ms Sahin was able to prompt me, ask questions, and give me new ways of seeing things. I also really appreciate the idea that working on my own mental health should be a priority, and that if I don't do so regularly, my work and family life will not benefit from all the work I've done. It means I give myself permission to make space during family and work time to do exercises and tasks relating to my mental health without guilt. It is a long term investment in happiness and calm, in everything I do. That is so valuable in a personality like mine, where I have learned I'm always looking to measure value in everything I do. I've learned working on my mental health is extremely high in value, and should be prioritised. I can't thank Ms Sahin enough, nor Newham Talking Therapies. The whole organisation approached me with care and attention, was quick and responsive, and organised. I could not recommend them highly enough to anyone with the levels of depression and anxiety I have experienced, and I suspect someone with more acute problems than I have. Thank you again.

Immense gratitude to Ilknur Sahin, who saw me so skillfully through extremely hard times and complex issues exacerbated by bereavement. She supported me wholeheartedly and highly professionally all the way through. I'm very fortunate and honoured. Working with Ilknur facilitated deeper insights and new perspectives for me. I now feel better equipped to move forward in a more positive way. Big thanks to Newham Talking Therapies for such prompt and most adequate response when it really mattered. Highly appreciated and recommended.

My experience with Newham Talking Therapies was amazing! I was able to choose a therapist I would feel more comfortable with and when to have my sessions. My therapist, Ken, was super professional, very kind and has helped me quite a lot in the short time he worked with me. I really hope more people can use this service and that more money is directed to everyone’s mental health since not all os us can afford it. The only thing I have to add is a request for email only contact since not everyone is available for a phone call to book that initial sessions. This would make life so much easier for your customers and therefore more people would be able to access it. Thank you all for the great service! Please pass on my kindest regards to Ken as he is great at his job!

Thank you very much to Lee Williams and Newham Talking Therapies. Lee was an excellent therapist, he was empathetic, encouraging and provided me with many helpful tools and insights on how to deal with and improve my mood and long-term health condition. Lee made me feel at ease so I was able to talk about how I felt more easily than usual, my opinions were taken into account but also gently probed if they were unhelpful. Lee helped me see things in a different (more positive) way, including beliefs I had about myself. I always felt better after speaking to Lee and would highly recommend him.

E. U.

Great service, was as quick to contact me back as it could have been with this many people requiring assistance. The person I spoke with initially and who helped me arrange further assistance was Amelia, such a lovely and warm person, very professional, funny and supportive. Thanks to her to everyone working hard to help others.

D. A.

I truly thank Freya for her time and these life changing sessions. I had CBT and Freya was fully engaged, empathetic and supportive throughout my treatment. I don’t know where I would be without these services. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I had the second time therapy with Dr. Belinda Begum. This time I felt so much more relaxed then the first session as she changes the translator which was very good this time and I could express my thoughts better then the first time. Plus she gave me home work and helped me a lot. I understand much better her question and speck more relaxing. I am glad I applied to speak wit a therapist, as at the begging I was shame and unconfident to share my feelings. Thank you, Vasile

This was my first experience with CBT, second of 'therapy'. I was assigned to Lexi (Alexandra Hristova - PWP manager) for 8 weeks. I am really glad of what I have learnt with her in the process. She takes time in explaining how negative thoughts come about, and walk you through tools, practices and plans and how to challenge them. I enjoyed the fact that every session felt very human, down to earth and I felt listened to no matter how briefly. I can't take it for granted because they probably run over similar conversations over and over (a new acronym for PWP should definitely be People with Patience 🤣). Also as a queer person I carry my reservations as a defense mechanism and although she didn't have to, there were subtle things Lexi did, maybe intentionally, that made me feel somewhat safe to speak to her. I'd also like to commend the efforts of the admin team that works efficiently to accommodate first time phone screenings and arrangements for CBT consultations. Very well done. I'd highly recommend NTT!

R. L.

An absolutely amazing service. I have just completed a number of weekly CBT sessions which has proved totally transformative to me personally. My therapist, Abbie was so professional, knowledgeable, and at the same time massively caring. During the past few months, she introduced me to tools and techniques to address a number of issues. I always felt part of the process and totally in control. Without exaggerating I can describe this journey as life-changing. Looking to the future, I’m very excited to see how the continued use of the skills that I’ve acquired will affect me. To think that all this is for free! Incredible.

My sessions with Mrs Ruhana Hussain at newham talking therapy came to an end and I am happy to say that she has been incredibly helpful. Her direct but non-judgemental manner made hard topics easier to address head-on, which I really needed and appreciated. Ruhana helped me navigate obstacles that had previously felt insurmountable, and I'm happier as a result. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. She is absolutely brilliant 👏am much confident, happiest and because of her I have come to terms with my past and the future is bright, thankyou so much Ruhana Hussain, thankyou Newham talking therapy.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

M. D.

I want to start by thanking newham talking therapy for the support provided. and I want to thank Mrs. Ruhana Hussain very much for her kindness, understanding, advice, for making me regain my confidence and for making me understand that all those black and negative thoughts were only in my mind and that nothing I feared was real. Thanks to her I tried and overcame all those thoughts, now I think positively and I have more desire for life. I confidently recommend newham talking therapy. and I highly recommend Mrs Ruhana Hussain⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've had the most inciteful and empowering support from Anna--Kathrina List to whom I am eternally grateful for her expert guidance, patience, kindness and positivity. She has given me a 'tool box' of techniques to use to help me to reclaim my life. Thanks for your wonderful advice, patience, care and commitment to changing the lives of those who need a helping hand to survive the pressures and stresses of life which are many times insurmountable. I am indebted to you and will continue to try my best to use every 'tool' given to me. I highly recommend talking therapists to anyone who feels the challenges of life are too unbearable to manage. I've learnt ways to cope more effectively and will continue to strive to maintain the techniques. I am also assured that should I need a 'top up' I can re-connect. This is reassurance and care. Thanks to you and the team for the immense service and expertise.

M. R.

First impression matters! Excellent start with a very friendly professional therapist Lewis. I felt supported during our over the phone consultation and looking forward to our upcoming sessions. Thank you very much for your continuous support.

A. B.

I would like to say big thank you for your help and support Dear Newham Talking Therapies, My sessions with Will Raybould are very lovely and supportive. It seems to me that we found a common language with him very quickly which was very useful, so I could open up to him ,almost like to a friend. Big big Thank you

U. S.

Brilliant free service offered. Worth the wait on a very long waiting list. Perhaps should do more in terms of answering the phones a bit quicker and more efficiently. Should also respond to their emails as I was not met with a response for months. The service itself once you get treatment is brilliant - it’s just all the admin staff beforehand!

E. H.

Got a consultation the next day and spoke to a therapist about the best course of action for my situation. He was very reassuring and considerate and the waiting period is only a few weeks until my first session. Really impressed with the service.

i joined newham talking therapies ahe next step in helping me through bereavement i have tried multiple different meds for depression and with no suitable/helpful effect and had gone to the drop in bereavement centre for help during this time which was helpful in its own way covid struck and changed everything how we interact how people like myself had to sheild i imagine many know the drill. Im also extroverted so being isolated as a vulnerble person compunded my depression. i asked for more help from the dr as i was having feelings that i shouldnt be here anymore. they recommend the talking therapies i self reffered and got a second refferal from my dr it was ther that they diagnosed me with ptsd as well as depression and began working with me firts of all in a group then with (A) (i will used this to refrence throughout for data protection purposes) on a one to one bases. this began with explaning what are the causes of ptsd what are the sympmtoms via diagrams etc . i was then asked to open up a bit more about what happended why i feel the way i do what are th eroot causes etc. every week i had questionaire to gauge my mood before the meeting this meant we could work out what triggers eppisodes and emotional responses we then used techniques from cbt to start takling the emotional and logical responses aas well as the physical ones we went through technicals breathing excercises to calm yourself and to relax your body before sleep trying to establish normallacy via activity diaries helping tto reorganise your ptsd spirals/tirggers by writing them down and reliving and trying to seperate them from the here and now. i also wrote a letter in regards to my trauma i was also asked to look at what i was feeling from external propestives and people who might share mine aswell. i was asked to start writing a compassion diary taught was to do not overload myself or try to much and to be more realistic in my recovery and understand its a healing process it effects everyone differently. all this and more was delivered with a patient nurturing understanding attitude while trying to teach the coping techniques i need to hopefully to return to the world when covid etc is over for this service i am very grateful.and hope (A) knows i am glad to have been given help by her

B. R.

I found the service very helpful, very logical in it's approach and it is down to you in taking onboard the advice given.

Z. R.

I highly recommend NTT. I received an exceptional service from Zoe who was very supportive and had a great systematic approach to identifying the best course of action for me.

M. C.

At first I was a bit apprehensive in registering for therapy due to the negative reviews. However I was assigned to a therapist called Abbie who really helped me come to understand my anxiety and ways to manage it better. My sessions have unfortunately come to an end but I appreciate everything Abbie has done for me over the past months in COVID. Highly recommend :)

J. A.

Contrary to some of the reviews here I had an excellent experience and have nothing but praise for the therapist to whom I’d been referred by my GP. I found the face to face interviews most helpful and when COVID 19 forced us into telephone consultations the quality of help and support was uniformly high

S. B. (.

CBT/EMDR work completed, a process which has had a huge impact on my life in the most positive way. Extremely grateful for the excellent service, patience and professionalism. Thank you for all your hard work and efforts. I doubted this in the beginning, but then time and results proved me wrong. Thank you once again.

B. H.

Last year I became very depressed. It took me a long time to understand that I was mentally unwell and not just “sad all the time” as I thought. I went to my doctor who refereed me to Newham Talking Therapies and it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I’ve always been quite a strong and happy person and was very much of the opinion that you can just “pull yourself together”. Before going to Newham Talking Therapies I had tried making a routine, starting yoga, continued activities like climbing and dancing, and forced myself to see friends and go to work even though I didn’t want to leave my bed cocoon. When this didn’t “fix” me, I was so desperate and didn’t know where to turn. Newham Talking Therapies were fantastic. The staff were amazing, and I was so impressed with how fast they contacted me after referal. They are non-judgemental, very welcoming, and the skills and tips they teach you will genuinely change your life. My first assessment phone call was such a relief that someone was taking this seriously and recognised that I had tried hard on my own, which was a good thing, but now it was time to accept a little extra help. At first I was sceptical about the CBT group sessions they assigned me to. I thought this couldn’t help me if I couldn’t help myself, but once I committed myself to the programme and carried out the suggested tasks and strategies, I quickly saw the improvements. It took a few months before I was “sub-clinical” in my depression symptoms. Now, although I have up and down days, I can continue to use the toolkit they gave me to keep getting better. I feel much more back to my old self now. I’m laughing more, looking forward to seeing friends, and am interested in my hobbies again. I felt before like I was walking around in a black cloud and I couldn’t get out, I would never feel happy again. There is hope if you also feel like this, keep pushing through and accept the excellent help of Newham Talking Therapies. I can’t recommend enough!

I had a very helpful CBT session with Ms. Ilkunr with her very motivated, wise and professional manner. The sessions were well-informed and structured. The whole session provided vital techniques that are meeting my needs. A lot of support regarding materials to read, video calls to address the unavailability of in-person meeting, quick responses, great communication level (listening) and most important a lot of patience and understanding.

V. H.

Self referred myself to the Newham Team prior to lockdown, and would like to say a huge thank you to the team. I have learnt so much from the experience that will help me going forward in my life.

Was referred by my boyfriend who also used the service. Due to the current crisis, all interviews were done through telephone. The lady I spoke to (Paulina) was really kind and understanding. Found out that I only struggle with managing stress (which was in turn, triggered by covid and lockdown) Did a 5 week online group therapy course with Zoe who was really friendly and was available to talk to if we needed. Having the routine every week was very reassuring and she provided us alot of resources and techniques to manage stress! Even though my problems were not severe, they were still very helpful! Thank you for your help!

I had a great counselor and i learnt a lot, yes they are slow but its because they are so busy. Free therapy is very high in demand but its well worth it.
