“It was the best therapy I had... it helped build up my relationship with life (I was suicidal), with society, my future and – most importantly – with my child. The therapist rescued my life – I cannot pay her back.”

“Feel very grateful to be given such high quality help which I could not have afforded privately. I don’t know what I would have done with CPU - there is so little support for mental health issues in the NHS.”

“At a time when I felt utterly desperate, just being able to see someone and have the reassurance that I would be able to get help - albeit not at CPU - meant everything to me. I was referred elsewhere and fortunate enough to get the specialised help I needed - something that might not have happened were it not for CPU’s intervention.”

“It helped me talk things through and process my problems. Through this process I was able to prioritize issues clearly… I really appreciated the length of my therapy.”

“Willingness to help when I was desperate. The fact that CPU and the therapist was willing to help me when I was at my most desperate, and when there was no other service my GP knew of that could help.”

“An extremely necessary service helping vulnerable people who may not have any other support whereby they feel listened to and helped. A place where you are not judged and able to express your thoughts.”
