    Really grateful to have the opportunity to have counselling here. John is one of the best therapists I’ve had. The rest of the team always greet you with a smile on their face too.

    Im absolutely disgusted and shocked. Hurt and betrayed. What a waste of my 7 months of life . The worst impact ever. I’m traumatised. This charity and therapist is partly to blame for my suicide attempt last year. They made me far worse not better!! I was abused by my therapist. She broke many rules, boundaries and clearly was not trained or experienced to have a client like me. She told me what I wanted to hear. I was too vulnerable and naive to see all she was doing wrong at the time . I was lied too . I still don’t know formally what her qualifications were as nobody is telling me. She has said level 5 certificate ? In what ? Yet they took money from me weekly to pay a trainee who I did not know is a trainee . She has only just registered with the BACP. I feel iv been financially exploited ,duped,conned. I was misled by David ,he is the one who matched me with what I thought was a fully trained ,experienced therapist. I would never agree to have a trainee therapist nor to pay for one! So they took my money and the “therapy “ I got was shocking ! I can’t go into too much details on here at the moment because I have escalated this complaint to the BACP. The therapist told me all about her personal life. Broke GDPR and stopped therapy abruptly by WhatsApp after I had a suicide attempt . I was left with no support at all whatsoever . Very cruel ,negligent and irresponsible. It’s unforgivable . I’m going to take my story to the papers because the director is refusing to talk to me and deal with this. Iv talked to a Michelle who did nothing to rectify this. A lady called Juliet who always answers the phones. I urge all who go to this charity not to bother. If you do decide to give them a go make sure to ask what training your therapist has ,get it as proof written form by email ask for evidence as I was lied too and misled. They don’t use good practice . Also I would say to look up on the BACP website what rules and regulations therapists are meant to adhere too. If you see them breaking the rules make a formal complaint and report to the BACP. Im taking my story to the press as this charity is not feeling with my complaint . I’m so worried others will suffer like me . Management Team Director: Linda Dominguez MBE has not said one word to me and ignoring me refusing to talk to me. Im going to report to the charity commission too.

    Waste of time &bad impact on my life. Statements made regarding the disorganisation are true. You need to call to see if there are in fact spaces. I think having staffed volunteers may be lead to the vunerable (clients) being at risk of being willing to try longer with a counseller, as lack of boundaries are often the baseline for many of us that use this service. My counseller had to "come out of character" (her words not mine) to scold me for actions I had taken with my ex......I was shocked but to scared to say anything back and continued. They also proceeded to tell me this is a volunteer service and they do not have to be here...again silencing me more and making me feel less than particularly during experiencing mania. Unfortunately the counseller did not take my suicidal thoughts seriously, Even after an attempt and psych hold. No discussion about it. Told to move on when I wanted to express how scared I was. They often batted away my issues and seemed more focused on my relationship drama. I really needed help with my pressured thoughts and other things I do not wish to get into publicly here. No tools given to combat this and was me talking with little ancedotes instead of evidence-based tools I could put in my proverbial pocket. I hope others are getting the help they need but to be honest my mental health has worsened as a result and I had to leave this service when I got brave enough to do it.

    Nothing against the therapists themselves, but the organization itself is another thing. Not sure the office manager (Juliet)is the same across all locations, but I was a little taken aback by how disorganised and inexperienced she came across. She couldn't remember basic details, couldn't even get a consultation booked in correctly, I could go on... I'm not trying to throw someone under the bus here, but it's important that you hire staff members that are empathetic and pay attention to detail. They should be sensitive to the fact that people who reach out to One in Four are already in quite a fragile state, they do not need the added stress/agitation. Please do better!

    I cannot recommend them. From the start the start the admin were disorganised and often unprofessional. I was told I would be matched to a therapist, but when I called to see how far I was on the waiting list the staff said 'we have two new spaces, would you like therapy with X or X'. I chose a name, not knowing anything about either therapist. The first therapist was a trainee. They were lovely but I felt it wasn't a good match (I hated the emphasis on 'being sad' I really wanted practical advice). The admin were disparaging when I explained that I wanted to switch therapist. The therapist was very accommodating, and we had a good closing session. I started therapy with another therapist. They were the one that assessed me. I was keen to see them as I felt like there was a lot of emphasis on change/ moving forward. In hindsight, what I took to be practical, was also cold. After months of going I got the feeling they weren't listening to me. I cannot emphasize enough how much I wanted it to work. I had been wishing to adress these problems for years. I had a young child (less than a year old) the journey took me more than an hour each way by bus, and I went every weekend. One session they literally talked about themself and their idea for a book. I thought it was strange, but maybe part of the process? I noticed they seemed to have made some assumptions about me. They complimented my appearance. Finally they asked me something whish I think crossed the line. I answered it but it left me feeling uneasy. Later, I divulged something serious, and their response was cold and almost callous. I can't got into detail but when I asked why they responded like that they had no recollection of what I had said, and they tried to pretend they could remember. I felt awful. The feeling that they hadn't been paying attention or taking me seriously was confirmed. It might have been okay if we had an okay relationship. But it morphed into an argument about gender inequality and they were clearly annoyed by me. They literally told me that the reason why the argument got so heated is because they felt animosity towards me. They also said they didn't realise the extent of therapy I needed and might not have agreed to take me on if they knew (despite doing my initial assessment? Was that my responsibility? I don't know) Anyhow, I found it beyond upsetting and infuriating. I asked them if they were a specialist in sexual abuse and they said no... none of the therapists at One in Four are, they recieve some top up training for sexual abuse before they start. For a place named One in Four I was disheartened to hear that. I contacted the director. I felt this therapist had made things worse. Also, I picked up on ego/ controlling behaviour that I found alarming. I wanted to let the director know what happened. She listened to me, and it was generally okay. Though she said she needed to get the therapist's side of the story, and she would get back to me after speaking to them. It's been months and I have not heard back. I do not wish to follow her up about it. I understand that they are staffed by volunteers, and they are low in funds. I was so grateful that this service existed when I found out about it. I feel bad talkingly so negatively about it, but my experience was awful. It honestly made things worse. Reading other reviews, I am so glad their service worked for others. If you are thinking of going, I would say take things with a pinch of salt. I hope it works for you.

    I was very very very satisfied with this service. It took me about 5 sessions to start truly opening up. My counselor was very attentive understanding and on point. Their was so so so much stuff I buried it was hard. Thank you for all your hard work because I KNOW I WAS HARD WORK. That comes with what I went through. It doesn't go away but I have learnt to look after me and not let it consume the rest of my life.

    Excellent counselling service. I have been very supported by my counseller and admin team at One in Four. It's a very scary step to start childhood truama therapy and it's definitely not an easy journey but addressing the issues will lead to a greater understanding and ability to cope.
