As an injured RUC officer, I was suspicious, even reluctant to undergo counselling. I knew that I needed it but knew nothing about what to expect. I’m glad I made the decision to go; I know its really helping me, it’s a long road but I am coping so much better now.

I recommend counselling to anyone feeling down or depressed particularly around the anniversary of loved ones. For me it really provides me with extra strength and support when I really need it most .

I was seriously injured in an IRA bomb and I find that the physical therapies really ease the pain and help me relax more. They are becoming more and more of a lifeline for me as I get older.

Having experienced and caring people managing my welfare and benefit concerns I know that I don’t have to worry.

I can unwind and be myself, the team have all been affected one way or another by the troubles and these experiences help them to provide the help for others who have been affected.

Superb counselling for PTSD.

They have helped me in so many ways, from being there for me when I need someone to listen to helping me get the financial support which I need.

I love the social activities, and the days away together as these are a chance for me to meet with old friends and colleagues with whom we experienced so much together”.

The Ely Counsellor helped me challenge and understand built in beliefs, They helped me to understand what path I now need to pursue , I am so grateful, they were excellent

The counselor was excellent, when I went for my weekly session I always felt at ease and relaxed, they made me understand a lot of things in relation to my past traumas

I just can’t believe how much I got from counselling, my counselor was fantastic, was really easy to talk too and importantly they listened which I feel was the most important part of therapy, Ely has really helped me , im not saying everything is back to normal but I’m getting there. I addressed issues I had never talked about and the counsellor was able to explain simple coping mechanisms. It is great to know that I can come back for help if need, I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart

I found my time with my counsellor very, very useful and I am now ready to use some of the suggestions and information given to apply to my life , a fantastic counsellor

My journey to a happier more positive life has just begun thanks to the ely counsellor, they have taught me how to turn negative thoughts into more positive ones, and the difference in how I feel is remarkable. Everyone has noticed. I feel better equipped and more confident to deal with everyday life situations. Ive noticed a real difference in my relationships and family . I am so grateful to Ely for providing this wonderful service, my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner

I found this service to be of much much help to me, it was a very hard decision for me to make in going, but once I did I learnt much about myself and my life, which I hope will help going forward, thank you all
