Uncovering Issues and Resolving Them

I was constantly feeling depressed and suffering from social anxiety. Part of the reason was because I was bullied when I was 9 and I felt the pain and loneliness of being ostracised by my peers even those I called friend.

I never felt so helpless. This feeling of helplessness carried for the next 10 years of my life where I was always in constant fear of losing friends so I always tried to please everyone which exhausted my mental and emotional resources leaving me feeling drained at the end of the day.

I decided to seek help last year in 2019. I was skeptical about going to SCC to seek help at first since I was quite afraid it was going to be a waste of time and money but my counselling sessions with Ms Rafeah proved otherwise.

Ms Rafeah was patient and non-judgemental throughout all my sessions with her. She listened with an open mind and heart and helped to uncover even more layers of issues plaguing me. I felt overwhelmed at first but step by step she guided me through and I overcame my negative thoughts and got rid of toxic people in my life who I previously thought were not affecting me at all.

Now I feel as if a dark cloud in my heart was blown away and my worries do not seem impossible to overcome anymore. Thank you Ms Rafeah for bearing my problems with me and tirelessly helping me out throughout the past year.
