Great counsellor

Had a little trouble with the connection dropping out now and then half way through the session but my counsellor made up for all that. Other than the odd problem with the website there was no other problems and it was easy to use. My counsellor Laura Kirk was amazing and has helped me so much. I can't express how grateful I am to Laura and how easy it was to talk to her she is an excellent counselor.

I have C-PTSD from abuse and early…

I have C-PTSD from abuse and early childhood experiences. The abuse happened again in adulthood and it totally consumed my life. I stopped having relationships as the trauma was just too difficult to get past.

Peter my EMDR therapist was absolutely amazing and I now have a healthy relationship and I have resolved so much of my trauma based problems. We worked on the first, the worst and the current over my sessions and learning some grounding techniques and finding my “happy place”.

I haven’t lived with anyone for nearly 20 years and now I am planning my future with my partner which includes living together and maybe getting married one day.

I am so very grateful for the Dr Julian programme and to Peter. I certainly am a changed person now who knows that I am deserving of a happiness, a relationship and more.

So much more than just 'talking therapies'

I have just completed 12 sessions of CBT with Gareth Muir. Having attempted therapy many years ago, I was apprehensive about trying again but I'm so glad I did. I went into the sessions at the beginning feeling like an alien or freak and feeling very misunderstood and anxious. I ended those 12 sessions feeling seen, heard and valued as a human being for the first time in my 50 years. Gareth helped me see the world in a different way, in a better way. Whilst I had insight into my own behaviours, I didn't know how to address them and anything I'd tried previously, I'd failed at. Now, I feel like Gareth has given me the skills to address all of my negative self talk and doubts. Even if I'm still a square peg, I'm a square peg with the skills to calm my doubts when they arise. I'm now looking forward to conquering my fears and taking on the world. I can't say thank you enough and I hope to pay that forward somewhere along the line.

So much more helpful then I expected!

When I was referred to the Dr Julian app by the NHS I was open to trying it, but i really didn't think it would be as good as it was. The app is very easy to use.
My therapist Sven was wonderful, almost instantly I felt I could trust him. He was warm and kind, he helped me to understand my ocd "bully" and he helped me to find ways to beat the bully. I felt that I had someone on my team, giving me confidence and helping me to get my life back. I would recommend trying this sort of therapy to anyone, it really has helped me. Thank you Sven 😊

Peter was a great therapist. Using EMDR has changed my life.

Peter was a great therapist who put me at ease straight away. He used EMDR to help me work through some awful childhood trauma. In the beginning I was sceptical about EMDR, but after a few appointments with Peter, I started to feel differently about the trauma. Eventually I stopped feeling the trauma was happening in the here and now and was able to put it in a place where it didn't affect me daily anymore. After some sessions I would cry and cry not knowing why, but it was almost like I could feel the old trauma leaving my body. We had to work through some memories for several weeks but Peter was always understanding and patient. I would recommend using Dr Julian as the therapy with Peter has changed my life and substantially reduced the PTSD symptoms. Thank you Peter.

My experience with Helen and then Sven…

My experience with Helen and then Sven was exceptionally good. The first type of therapy wasn’t working for me, so Helen was caring and reactive to that, but also honest, which was something I really valued. I was then passed to Sven. Sven was warm and welcoming, I instantly felt I could trust him, (not something I say lightly) he helped in many ways and even when our sessions were done I still felt like l had him in my corner, I just wish the NHS would have funded more sessions.

My therapist Charlotte was exceptional

My therapist Charlotte was exceptional. She provided insight, guidance, understanding and crucially the skills to help me deal with my issues.
I've had therapy on a number of occasions and she was the best on every metric. I cannot recommend her enough

Truly life changing

My experience with Dr Julian was overall extremely positive, I learned so much through my journey with my therapist Karolina. It is a journey I will never forget, I will continue to use these skills that she has taught me. Truly from the bottom of my heart I thank my therapist and I wish her the very best in her next journey.

It mattered to my therapist that my mental health improved.

I had a wonderful therapist who cared that I got the most out of every therapy session. I felt it genuinely mattered to her that my mental health improved.
There are no quick fixes in therapy, but because of my therapist I believe I now have strategies in place and the motivation to be able to lead a more contented life. Oh and we had a laugh along the way!

Referred to Dr Julian through Op Courage. The process is very simple and the ability to have online sessions either video or telephone make it very accessible so long as you have a smart phone. Highly recommend Karolina, she was empathetic and understanding of my needs as a Veteran and enabled me to explore and challenge thoughts in a logical and progressive manner.

Diana was the best therapist

Diana was the best therapist, she taught me things to control my health anxiety that I have never experienced, she showed me how strong I can be and without her I wouldn’t be were I am today, she’s so kind and thoughtful she listens and talk you through everything could not recommend her enough if I ever have to do therapy again I would definitely go back to Diana :) I want to thank you for everything you have done for me these last 4 months :)

Gareth Muir - couldn't ask for more!

I had twelve CBT sessions with Gareth Muir for generalised anxiety disorder. It's safe to say he has changed my life for the better. I felt calm, safe, informed and challenged in the best possible way. I just felt like Gareth 'got' me and I could feel myself making progress each week. I am sad to finish our sessions but excited to face the future!

Really Helpful

I was recently referred to this company, and was lucky enough to be assigned Karolina Evershed as my therapist. Not only was Karolina kind and understanding, she was incredibly easy to open up to, something I can sometimes struggle to do with therapists believe it or not. While naturally I am not ‘cured’ of my depression, Karolina has equipped me with vital skills and managed to drag me back on track and off the wandering path, allowing me to work on the self-healing that is required.

The system itself is very reliable, the website is easy to navigate and my therapist was never late. From my experience I would absolutely recommend this company.

Friendly and ease of use.

I was unsure what help I needed or even how to start but the therapist I was connected to really made me feel at ease and deal with issues.

The application was easy to use and understand with the user friendly interface.

Being able to see and talk to the therapist in a friendly setting (of my own home) allowed me to feel at ease to talk through aspects.

Changed my life so much for the better.

Where do I start, my therapy sessions with Karolina changed my life so much. I feel better than I ever have mentally, each day is like a new start, I look forward to every day, no such word as worry, I will continue to do my journal, as it has become the normal part of my life to do, I can reflect on it also, my thought process and personality has changed for the better, it is amazing to see where I am now, fully motivated and relaxed. I am eternally grateful for giving me my life back.

I was very well supported.

I was very well supported, working through my traumatic experience, I had held my trauma to myself for over 30 years, but Diana was amazing and made me feel at ease and helped me through talking about my past and to use new tools to help me in the future.
