Peter's Story

Tell me a little about yourself & what has brought you to the centre?
My mental health has been on and off for around twenty years, I live in the local area.  I lost both my parents within a short time of each other. I was very down, withdrawn and isolated.  I was hiding from everything.
How were you dealing with your situation before starting to attend CLC?
I wasn't dealing with my issues at all.  I had become very isolated and numbing myself with diazepam.
Activities attended
  • massage
  • bereavement counselling
  • reiki
  • acupuncture
What has helped since becoming a member?
The classes and counselling have helped a lot.  Also being able to socialise with other people has helped me.
What would you recommend to others?
I would recommend the Centre as a whole - all the classes and activities.
What would you say to others about CLC?
I would say just try the classes/activities/therapies because they do work.  You do have to want to make the change though - but they do work.  You can get better.
What have you achieved since you became member of CLC?
  • My wellbeing/mood has improved.
  • My confidence has improved.
  • I'm getting out the house and meeting new people. 
  • I have a job interview.
Has coming to the centre helped prevent you needing other services?
I was refused bereavement counselling through the GP as I did not
meet the criteria at that time.
