Hi Gill,
I hope things are good with you.
I don’t know how common it is that you receive life updates from previous clients, but I just really wanted to tell you how I’m doing! Since finishing therapy with you, I have been in such a good place. I finally have faith in myself and I feel more stable and optimistic about life than I ever have before. You may or may not remember that in our final session together, I told you that I was going on a date with somebody new that weekend. That person is now my boyfriend, and has been for a good few months!
I am so very happy with him and he treats me wonderfully. He makes me feel so safe and cherished and he’s exactly the sort of partner I was always hoping for. I don’t believe that I would ever have ended up in a relationship this healthy without your guidance, so I just wanted to say thank you very much for working with me. You really have made a huge difference to my perspective and as a result, my life.
Crucially, my newfound self-esteem has not been achieved because I’m now in a relationship; rather, I’ve only been able to truly open myself up to a relationship because my view of myself has changed. I just thought you would like to hear that the work we did together has really made a positive impact on me, and no matter what happens in the future, I will always look back on working with you as a huge turning point for me.
Thank you so much for everything – I’m so lucky to have worked with such a skilled therapist who was really able to get through to me and help me turn things around!
I hope that the remainder of 2024 and beyond treats you very well.
All the best,
