You in Mind

 

Erin – Female

I have been extremely impressed with the service I received from PHN South Western Sydney, from the moment I was put in touch with a clinician, and throughout the process thereafter. In the past, I have been hesitant to seek professional advice for personal concerns, however a major change in my life made me realise I require the help of health professional.

The clinician I was referred to, Martin (Community Links), was fantastic from the first consultation. He showed empathy, understanding, and left me leaving my first appointment feeling extremely empowered. 

A feeling that was vital for me moving forward with the next challenges I was to face in my situation. Throughout our consultations he was able to put so many of my existing feelings and concerns into words and helped me to understand my strengths, values and understand my situation on a different level.

He did all of this with an extremely ‘down to earth’ approach. Like chatting to a friend! Looking back on the extremely difficult time I was going through, I honestly believe I couldn’t have gotten through it near as well, without the support and guidance of Martin. I highly recommend the services of Martin and the team at PHN South Western Sydney and strongly hope others find the experience as nurturing and helpful as I did.
