"I think having the two together (therapy and employment support) was helpful. It was interconnected but different and they were both beneficial. Thank you for your support I really appreciate it, you have no idea how much you have helped me. I have really enjoyed the employment sessions. Thank you."
“I can't thank you enough for supporting me through this difficult time, the kindness and patience my employment advisor showed me has helped so much.”
“Thank you to my Employment Advisor, your support has been great as I was so indecisive.”
"My employment advisor was fantastic and really cared and showed a genuine kind interest in helping me. I was honestly very touched by her advice and how she listened and supported me so well it was amazing."
"It was nice to hear that I was doing the right thing, it was quick service especially as I needed to sort out my situation at work. The employment advisor was very understanding and asked questions when questions were needed and not over doing it. It was useful to work with someone with knowledge and confidence and gave me the confidence to think 'I can do it, I can be assertive at work."
