Welcome

When I first came to First Step for an assessment I was advised that the work would be very much at my own pace.  This was important to me, I didn’t want to feel that I was being pushed into talking about things that I wasn’t ready to discuss.  If that had happened I would have walked away.

I can honestly say that my life has changed so much for the better.  Even the relationships with people around me have improved.

First Step without question saved my life and marriage. I am now alive and free to exist in peace and with confidence.

The staff were amazing, so patient, so understanding, and this may sound strange but so ‘human’. I’ve been to other counselling outlets and it can be very subdued and impersonal. With First Step it was completely the opposite.

I have been listened to, supported and above all believed which has made my reluctance to open up much easier.
