What is in it for you

Women + Health make a huge difference to those accessing our services- below is a quote from one of our clients: “I have been using the services of Women in Health for the last two years now. My time in long term counselling has been extremely beneficial to my overall mental health. For the first time in 54 years, I was able to talk about the abuse I suffered as a very young child and how I remained stuck in a life that rendered me mute to stimuli. Counselling also helped me to express my thoughts and feelings around the death of my younger sister, older brother, father, nephew and several other family members. I kept everything in my head and body and by the time I sought help I was so mentally drained I just couldn’t think straight. Two years on I can talk freely of my past. There has been a noticeable difference in the relationships I have with my children, extended family and friends. I feel better able to cope with most situations that arise and now communicate more effectively. I have the strength to make positive changes and look forward to the next chapter of my life. The counselling and other services on offer at Women in Health are invaluable, it offers a safe place where we can express ourselves and get the help needed to feel better and to function better.”
