I am a 24 year old male and went to see Ferga because I suffered from severe anxiety to the point where I would pass out. I found Ferga to be extremely approachable and I was put at ease and found her to be understanding and compassionate to my problems. I would truly recommend anyone visiting Ferga for treatment as she has truly turned my life around and I am now feeling better than I have for years thanks to her expert guidance and recommendations.

I went to see Ferga Robinson regarding some deep rooted anxiety and self esteem issues. At first I was unsure about therapy in general, but after the first two sessions I knew I had chosen the right therapist. Ferga always managed to keep me positive (even though I would always try to put a negative judgement on everything) and stop me spiralling further into worries.
A great, friendly and professional therapist. I only wish I hadn’t left it so long before asking her to help.
I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Ferga.

In my sessions with Ferga, she helped me to understand why I felt and reacted in the way I did to certain things. This insight left me feeling much more positive about myself and less afraid of my emotions. Her faith in me and her encouragement helped me be to be kinder to myself and left me feeling much better equipped to deal with life.

For many years I had suffered from anxiety and had always been a worrier. I was dealt quite a blow when my child was diagnosed with a disability. Trying to deal with this and care for my child coupled with the stress of work and family life started to increase my anxiety until I felt it was out of control. I was having panic attacks and feeling nauseous and sick on a daily basis. The thought of actually being sick and it happening in public terrified me and it was taking over my life. Just doing ordinary daily tasks such as taking my child to school, going to the supermarket or going to someone’s house for dinner felt like a mammoth task and I would get myself into a real state doing so. It was at this point that I felt enough was enough and that I couldn't carry on as I was. I started having weekly sessions with Ferga.

The ability just to talk about how I was feeling with somebody completely impartial was great. Ferga helped me understand what was behind my anxiety and why it manifested itself in the way it did. Through therapy I learnt not to blame myself for everything that was happening and to not feel guilty for not being able to do everything that I felt I was supposed to. Ferga taught me how to calm myself down in stressful situations through breathing exercises and how to prepare myself when stressful times were ahead so I could deal with them better. When I was at my worst I felt that I would never be rid of the anxiety but after a while, it gradually became easier until I felt I had it under control rather than it had me under control.

Now I can approach those normal daily events without the anxiety or feeling sick even crossing my mind. I feel so much calmer. Every now and again situations arise that do stress me out but I feel so much more equipped to deal with them and I can get through them without feeling the need to run for the door. I am much stronger and I feel like such a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Life has become much easier. If I'd realised how much better I could feel I would have sought help earlier.

Before I started sessions with Ferga I was extremely anxious about so many things and this was impacting on many aspects of my life. Ferga helped me identify why I had become so anxious and showed me practical ways to help reduce the anxiety. Her experience, combined with her very genuine warmth and compassion, made me feel so much better about myself and about my ability to cope with everyday life.

When I first came to Ferga I genuinely believed I was beyond help. I had been struggling with serious emotional issues for almost twenty years and was so lost and confused I didn't think anything could help or that I could ever feel better, but I was so desperate I felt I had no choice but to try. Therapy was a difficult process, but I am very happy to be able to write today that Ferga helped me achieve what I thought was impossible; she helped me back on the path to wellness and completeness, she helped me turn my life around and now my life has changed completely and for the better.
