The Market Place!
"When I first started counselling at TMP, I was honestly quiet unsure about the process. At first, I was sure it would be a similar experience to CAMHS, and therefore I was doubtful.
However, after my first few sessions, I opened up to the experience and I quickly came to realise that it wasn't like that at all!
The Market Place is great for people of all backgrounds and situations - whether you need to explore past/on-going experiences which may be leading to distress, or you just need a place to talk about your week - however uneventful it may have been, I found that counselling at TMP is a great place to find someone who will listen and care about anything at all that you wish to share.
You will never be pushed or pressured or rushed into anything, and even if you still have a few days to go before your counselling session, you can always use the telephone drop-in support service. Your time at TMP is your time and you can use it however you wish.
I, personally, would highly recommend it! I've grown in confidence and in my ability to recognise and rationalise my thoughts.
I definitely don't regret giving TMP a chance!"
