"Grown a lot as a person"

I am an adolescent and have been involved with many different counselling services, camhs, social workers etc in the past for mental health issues. I have had some mental health issues for over a decade and found that no services really helped me in the past. Until I was referred to Ballymote counselling service. I started working with a counsellor there, Maura, about 9 months ago. I was involved with her for about 8 of those months and in this time she helped me hugely.

I cant believe how much things have changed in only 8 months. The work she did with me and how kind she is as a person really impacted me in a positive way. I have definitely grown a lot as a person and become happier as well as able to cope better since I started attending Ballymote counselling service and it’s all down to the amazing work they do. The difference in my life is honestly night and day, I also learned about many resources and services I can use in future if I ever need support again.

Maura and the Ballymote counselling service as a whole have impacted my life so much. I can highly recommend Ballymote counselling service to anybody in difficult times, they go above and beyond for people and are truly amazing. I’m so thankful I was referred to such a great service after many bad experiences in the past
