Relationship support in Aberdeen

“5* over the moon with First Psychology, if you are unsure or still thinking on it, call them, it’ll be the best thing you ever do. I can’t recommend FP and Victor Morton highly enough. I don’t do many reviews, only when something is of a high standard. FP and Victor are brilliant, they are providing me with such a high standard of care that I felt that need to write a review I hope this review gives a person needing help that confidence to call. I was previously seeing another therapist in Aberdeen however we were unhappy. My NHS psychiatrist said some of his other patients had recommended first psychology. So my family and I phoned, reception were extremely helpful, patient and friendly. Each professional had a informative bio which helped us make our decision on choosing a therapist and the receptionist explained the process brilliantly. All the team at FP are helpful, cheery and friendly each time we call. I chose Victor Morton as my therapist, I was very nervous and my anxiety was high ahead of the first session with him. I felt alittle more relaxed because it was done via FaceTime rather than on the laptop. I was immediately put at ease early in the session as Victor is so friendly, calm and reassuring. Sounds odd but I think what also helped was he wasn’t wearing a shirt or tie, just casual wear. He is very professional but also relaxed that I feel comfortable enough to talk about difficult and upsetting things. Victor explained that he wants me to be honest with him, something I struggled to voice with the previous therapist. He explained his expertise, knowledge and his ethos in a clear way that i understood. In the first 15mins of the session I the difference between Victor and previous therapists (including NHS) was like day and night. In the 20 years I have had complex mental health he is the first professional to ask me to write a timeline of events/life. I sent the timeline over to Victor, it was quite clear that he had studied and memorizing it. This in itself meant so much to me, it feels like he genuinely cares and shows a great level of interest. Each session feels structured which I like but it still relaxed, Victor manages the session time well, I feel we cover a great deal within the time but does just the right amount, it is never overwhelming for me. I struggle to retain information and learning is problematic for me but he explains things in a helpful way. Therapists have tried to teach me breathing techniques but I fail to remember but they breathing technique Victor taught me in session 1, I got immediately! The visual link he showed helped me too. I have absolutely confidence in Victor as a professional, I now feel Alittle hope that maybe I can get to recovery. I actually look forward to each appointment, I feel excited thinking ‘what will I learn today’ mindset and I leave each appointment on a good note, feeling positive, Victor sets me some homework each week, encouraging me to play a active and hands on role towards my recovery. I could go on and on with praise and do Plummets for Victor and FP. They have been absolutely amazing, I can’t believe the difference in only 3 sessions. I have complex issues for the past 20 years with CPTSD and more, I have 8 professionals helping me just now, I have been in/out of hospital, cbt courses, CMHT, psychiatrist and multiple services involved. I was seeing a private therapist in Aberdeen but we were unhappy. When my family and I phoned FP, I was so incredibly desperate, in crisis/shutdown mode and having suicidal moments. In just 3 sessions FP and Victor have helped beyond measure, I now see a tiny glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe I could get to longterm recovery. I have written this lengthy review but there is so much more, not sure I have summarized it well but I’ve tried. Excellent company and very high standard of care. If have read this please know there is hope and I encourage you to call FP to find a professional that can help you.”

“The COSCA Counselling Skills course was an excellent course. It was delivered by highly skilled and knowledgeable trainers in a way that was relaxed and encouraged learning.

“Both Brian and Karla assisted me with buying my first property, and the experience couldn’t have been smoother. Their service was exceptional, and the communication throughout was clear and consistent. Having heard stories from friends and family about how stressful buying a home can be, I was pleasantly surprised, thanks to Brian and Karla, my experience was anything but. I was genuinely impressed by how easy and efficient the whole process was. I’ll definitely be using their services again for any future moves!”

“Jane was recommended to me almost 2 years ago when I was in need of rehabilitating due to ongoing prolapsed discs and nerve pain which was stopping me from being active. Jane grasped my history of back issues and set me on an engaging journey of exercises, she is full of knowledge and if something isn't working it's changed quickly, I have grown in strength and confidence and will continue to see Jane for future benefit. There have been a few curve balls throughout the last year or so, which Jane always deals with professionally and with certainty - leaving me feeling confident and assured. I would highly recommend icpc Health, a lovely team from the moment you walk in the door.”

“did a fantastic job repairing my door at a very reasonable price! highly recommend!”
