"The Listening Post is my safe space to talk. It is a good place to deal with those emotions that bubble up inside, as I was having to bottle them up before. Talking gets me to let go of those negative thoughts trapped in my mind. The sessions make me feel happier, in fact my mum and dad have noticed a difference in me!"
