I am a 60 year old man, and before I sought help from Sian at Sian’s Purple Therapy I had been struggling with my mental health for many years. I had never tried to seek help before. I had held down jobs throughout my working life, and done fairly well, and I think I was embarrassed that I could not sort my issues out myself.
I knew that I had issues with my childhood, and felt angry and resentful towards my parents. Generally, I struggled to control my anger, and I was constantly anxious about minor things. I had regular bouts of depression.
I felt unable to feel happy and as I got older it increasingly made no sense to me. I had a happy and loving home life and family, but I was putting a strain on them through my behaviour. I wanted to be a role model to my kids who were now young adults.
I decided something finally needed to be done, and I found Sian online then emailed her. As soon as we had our first session together, I knew I had done the right thing. She immediately put me at ease, and I was struck by how non-judgmental she was, and how seriously she took what I told her. I immediately started to feel more positive that things would improve.
I had a number of sessions with Sian over a period of a few months. We started by talking, to identify the root of my problems, and then moved on to hypnotherapy. This was all dealt with highly professionally, and I found the process very effective. Sian was good at explaining how things would work, and answering any questions I had. When I was comfortable with where we had got to, I went away with a recording that I could use to reinforce my mental state as and when needed (I have done this and it works).
I saw Sian two years ago, and I am now calmer and happier than I have ever been. Being more relaxed has had an effect on those around me, and has enabled me to have a clearer idea of what I want to do now, and to feel positive that I will make good choices. Sian’s input had a big effect on my ongoing wellbeing.
