As a health professional I have long been aware of the benefits of psychotherapy and have referred many patients over many years.
Over those years a number of people suggested I could benefit from therapy myself as I experienced a traumatic time when my fiancée was diagnosed with a serious health condition shortly before our wedding.
For many years I felt there was no need until last year my now wife was diagnosed with another health problem that sent me into a deep despair and reawakened the traumas of 30 years previously.
It was at that point that I started seeing Aideen and within a few weeks she helped me navigate my feelings and helped me understand how childhood experiences impacted my responses to my wife’s illness. After seeing Aideen for about four months I have been freed from anxieties that have been with me for decades. I wish I had the humility to listen to others and seek help years ago.
I can highly recommend Aideen; she has a gentle, caring yet probing approach that is really effective.
