I just wanted to say even though because of time constraints I can't come online every day, that I have noticed a HUGE difference in my negative thoughts when around other people. They used to be automatic and constant, but now I am often interacting with other people and afterwards I realize that I had NO negative thoughts. This is making such a big difference, thank you so much.

My name is John Rudkin, I am just 66 years old and I have worked in education all my adult life. I have also experienced bouts of depression, anxiety and emotional crises at stages since my mid-twenties.
I am resident in the UK and because of issues within the National Health Service I ran out of "local Health Centre Treatment" ages ago. I have paid for various therapists over the years, but have never found processes to hold onto and go forward with. Consequently I have lived and worked with a shadow of relapse like an "old dog" in the shadows.
In my final year of work something occurred and I tipped into extremely anxious paranoia. For the first time in my work in Further Education I had to go sick for 6 months and retire from that point.
College paid for some CBT, but obviously I had to wait to get on the programme and it ceased with retirement. I really wasn't ready to be without support but tried to muddle-on, until I knew I was just fooling myself. I came across this on-line offering and decided I would try it.
Maggie Sweet identified herself as my on-line therapist and with my only concerns being my lack of IT skill I embarked on the programme. The process for me is terrific, because I can revisit what I've written and what Maggie has suggested or questioned in my own time. Nothing is lost or forgotten.
Face to face can sometimes be affected by body language, running late, lousy drive to the therapist centre or whatever. This process is so much more accessible.
Maggie was always real though. I felt a warm empathetic person who really cared. This could easily be downloading standardised response, by a bored employee in wherever, but it isn't. Of course some stuff is standardised but the therapist is selecting, commenting and metaphorically holding me, the client.
I got some stuff wrong because of my IT ignorance. Like trying a Skype link, but the written communication more than compensated for that. Maggie made me feel trusted, accepted and cared about in a purposeful way. Sympathy's fine, but healing needs guidance. Trust is paramount if the client is able to accept guidance and questioning as not judgemental.
We all in theses moments of crisis are on the alert for rejection, so the therapist has a delicate path to tread. I count myself very lucky that I decided to try this process and blessed that I got Maggie to work with. For the first time I have a printed-off resource that I can revisit when I need.
I've really confronted my drinking and my wife and I are certain that we do not continue to be slaves to booze. The money saved would buy a decent holiday!
I have a more reasoned take on the last crisis at work and how destructive my "self-blame" fall-back position has been.
I am much more realistic about the fact that we make mistakes, but above all I have the whole process printed as my "well-being" resource.
Maggie has got me here. I know I had to work at it, but Maggie's humanity was the glue that held it all together.
I'm a lucky man.

The structure of the online therapy program is clear, well laid out and it can be done at your own leisure. The weekly sessions with the therapist help to consolidate what you have worked through and to talk about anything that is on your mind.

The program has been very helfpul for me. I already feel better and think in a more clear way. Specific and clear information and step by step exercises in worksheets make it a practical process for changing behavior and thinking patterns. The help of my online therapist Maggie Sweet is very valuable. Thank you.

I have just finished the program for managing Anxiety and I feel like I can take on all the challenges in my life. My therapist was very informative and supportive with our frequent chats about all the issues related to my situation. She was always available when I needed her, and the best part is that I didn't have to ever leave home.
This type of therapy works great! I have used face to face counselling before and this is even better, quicker and more efficient! She gave me so many new tools for helping me realize that I am in control of my thoughts and emotions, and they do work if you use them!
Thanks for all your strategies, kind words, and very personal attention!.

My experience with online therapy has been positive. I have managed to achieve all of my goals and I am confident that I can maintain them long term.
While doing the program you need to make sure that you do all of the work and put in a decent effort. I have found that if you put forth action you will reap the rewards and trust me it is worth it! I haven't seen this version of me for many many years and i like her!
Thank-you so much for all your help and i can honestly say that i am a happier more confident person. You have really shown me how destructive my thought patterns can be.

Do you like the worksheets?
Yes, I think the worksheets are well design to help oneself analyse their thoughts and problems.
Do you find it useful to have your own personal therapist online?
Yes, very helpful. I believe the therapist has to know you as a person and your specific problems in order to help you progress. My therapist Maggie is helping me find and realise my problems and where I can improve. I believe it will be a life changing for me.
Do you like the 8 sessions?
Yeah, it's well written, easy to follow and very precise. A lot of sentenses/ideas are worth to thinking.

I am loving this service. My therapist Maggie is helping me untangle and relieve my BPD symptoms for the first time ever. I didn't even know I had BPD before using this service; or rather, I didn't want to admit it. Maggie has convinced me that while BPD can be tough, there is hope, and I can surmount this disorder.
Lately, I'm feeling something I haven't felt in a while -- inner peace (not just happiness). I've learned so much from this program. Also, the format is kind of perfect for someone with BPD. We're interacting online, which means there's much less for me to misinterpret in our communications. Also, everything is written down, so it's easy to look back on a previous conversation and see what was really said/written (as opposed to just relying on memory, which can be biased). The worksheets are great.
This is one of the best things I've ever done for myself and for others, and I'm so grateful for this program.
