CBT Cardiff

Amazing therapy, I am recovering from PTSD, I am starting to visualise my life the way I want it to be as opposed to not wanting to be here at all. Worked together as a team, had times where I thought I would be stuck with chronic PTSD. I am releasing the cause of the disease as opposed to managing the effect. I would highly recommend this practice, it is giving me my life back, more than I could ever have imagined!

This was best thing I could ever of done.neil so helpful and a nice person.had many other mental health coaches and psychologist.this experience was a different level basically couldn't see me having any kind of life struggling each day to get up.been off work for 18 months with the help off dr Neil Kitchener has given me my life back and I will forever be greatful to him.cant wait to go back to work now.if anyone reading this is really struggling in life i recommend to see Dr Neil kitchener.i know people say about miracle workers this was the real thing and I will always be greatful.

felt anxious and nervous before starting as didn't know what to expect . everything was explained what we were going to do any question I had were answered . I felt like I was listened to and taking serious . Neil helped me so much with treatments given me methods to take with me after treatment finished I would 100% recommend

I was referred to CBT Cardiff after suffering from mild PTSD following a fatal car crash. From the very first session, Neil explained thoroughly what the programme would consist of, as well as the modern techniques he uses to treat PSTD. Each session was well structured, and was a calm and relaxing environment to be in. Following on from my sessions with Neil, I am now a fully confident driver, and passenger, again; and have had no traumatic flashbacks of the event since. I would fully recommend the programme to anyone who has been through a likewise situation, in order to regain full confidence on the roads.

EMDR went well my flashbacks and intrusive images reduced a lot. ( would have given 4 or 5 stars) when treatment was coming to an end I was pushed into a treatment I was clear I didn’t want to do and feared would break me. I trusted my therapist. I returned suicidal for the first time in my life and my therapist was indifferent, unhelpful, condescending and ended treatment. After months of no sleep pattern, constant crisis and relying on the Samaratians everyday. I saw an EMDR therapist as a last resort who saved my life from the retraumazing Neil caused me. Over a year now I’m still destroyed. Neils ego and negligence nearly took my life and has taken two years of my life trying to recover from battling suicide and self harm. Something I never thought I’d have to go through, and the physical toll it’s taken on body. I have spent £100s on therapy recovering, when I’m reminded I still can’t cope. And anger a trauma therapist is responsible. I wish I never met him and trusted him!

I was referred to CBT Cardiff after a very dramatic car crashwhich left me with life changing injury's and severe PTSD.I met Neil , who explained what was happing to me ,And talked me through how he could help me recover from thedark place I was at. And giving me the tools i needed to put in place before we startedi wasn't sure I believed him at the time , But he seemed kind and genuine,So i gave it a go, my mood lifted after the first treatment .and i slowly recovered.My car anxiety took a little longer But I'm Million times better Thanks to Neil , I HIGHLY RECOMEND his program ,and have passed his tips for coping during stressful adventsto friends and family.

The Cbt treatment I had from Neil was excellent and very though he was very informative on my symptoms , he was patient, considerate and caring throughout my treatment with excellent feedback. although my appointments were over several weeks/months it always gave me sense that my rehabilitation was going in the right direction.Thank you

My CBT journey with Neil has been transformative. His approach to my therapy was an excellent blend of professionalism and genuine compassion. I felt a genuine sense of security as he created a safe non-judgemental space for me to talk about my trauma. EMDR has been a massive part of my journey, it allowed me to safely retrieve and reinterpret painful memories so I was able to process and heal a deep psychological wound. After every session I felt empowered by and at peace with my emotions and experienced a true sense of relief. He taught me other vital tools to use whenever I need to get through set backs which I will take through life with me. I have noticed a significant improvement in my mental health and my life has changed for the better. I’d recommend the service to anyone who feels they need it, and would not hesitate to go back should I need to in the future.Thank you Dr NK.

I have been on a long journey dealing with my mental health and Neil has been there every step of the way! Neil is kind,caring and empathetic. Neil makes the sessions so laid back and he is really easy to talk to. Appointments are always prompt when needed and Neil has gone above and beyond to help me. If you are looking for CBT I can’t express in words how much Neil has helped me! Life changing.

I undertook CBT and EMDR treatment with Neil due to the adverse psychological affects of PTSD.Neil was highly professional and prompt in his communication.Neil also showed great compassion, empathy and understanding of my condition and also involved me in decisions related to my treatment.Neil is an Excellent therapist, with expert knowledge of conditions, the effects these have on patients, but also on the treatment and delivery of treatment to best support his patients. Neil helped me through a very difficult time, and I would highly recommend him. He really helped me.
