Feedback from people who have used the service

"The person I spoke to really listened to me. They reassured me and gave me the tools I needed to move forward. I was feeling lost and stuck so their help was invaluable."

This was my first time calling and it surpassed my expectations. The person I spoke to was excellent and I can't thank you enough for what you do.

The person I spoke to was very empathetic, understanding, very knowledgeable, patient, and a fantastic listener.

The helpline officer was kind and friendly. They validated my worries and reassured me that I am not alone.

They promptly answered all my messages, listening to my anxieties and worries. They helped me gain some clarity on the different options I didn't know I had available to me. I felt heard.

They’re brilliant! Knowledgeable and kind.

Speedy and thorough response. Compassionate and helpful.

They are so kind and considerate with their words, making you feel heard and no matter how small your problems may seem, they don't make you feel like you're overreacting.
