Reviews
I found therapy hard at first, however, it was very helpful for stopping self-harm. If you're thinking of trying it, definitely reach out as I feel I have come a long way since my first session.
I have been attending wish for a while now, and so far this helped more then any of my admissions did. I find it very easy to talk about my problems as well as I know if I feel uncomfortable to talk they’ll understand and help me work with what I feel comfortable with. Wish helped me get a better understanding of myself and supported me in rough times. I would definitely recommend to a friend or family in need of therapy.
I have been attending the weekly support group which has been amazing as it gave me a chance to speak to other young people who understand and created a safe space for me. I am also part of a positive change group chat where everyone is so supportive and everyone is always willing to listen to each other. It felt like such a welcoming environment. Wish has really helped me to feel more confident and created such a safe environment where I feel comfortable to talk and be me.
