		<description><![CDATA[I contacted Karen after a recommendation from a friend.  
 I had been suffering from depression and felt lost and lacked direction with my life.  I felt lost with a high powered demanding job with long hours. The pressure of work and life eventually got to me and I felt tramped in a cycle of work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started my CBT journey with Karen in August this year having suffered from Depression and Anxiety for many years. I had tried various talking therapies in the past, but I realised I needed something more interactive. I had taken anti-depressant medication for years, and I had tried several times to stop but always ended up taking [...]]]></description>

When first going to see Karen I felt really nervous. I didn’t feel very good about myself, was lacking in confidence, had very low self-esteem, felt depressed and was overweight (something I had battled with for many years). I decided I was going to try anything Karen advised to help me feel better. I found [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In February of this year I was in a really bad place. On my thirtieth birthday I found myself anxiety ridden and on sick leave from work and knew it was time to take action.
I arranged to see a private counsellor but after a few sessions realised that his approach wasn&#8217;t working for me. I would talk [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before I received CBT for my OCD my head was in a state of chaos, constantly battling and losing against this strange infliction. Horrible thoughts would intrude upon my thinking, eat away at my conscience until I had nowhere else to turn to but mental rituals which were never ending. My logic had no grip.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;CBT has made a huge positive difference for me. The approach is practical and makes a lot sense, which makes it easy to put into practice. I&#8217;ve rediscovered my self-confidence both in a professional and personal context and have learned different techniques to fend off what were almost crippling worries. Friends and colleagues have commented [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;After a few years of getting spells of anxiety I decided that I&#8217;d had enough. They were preventing me from enjoying my life. Could it be that I wasn&#8217;t destined to feel this anxious way forever and this wasn&#8217;t actually &#8216;me&#8217;? After meeting with Karen things began to change. I began to stop and think [...]]]></description>

For as long as I can remember I had feelings on anxiety and panic. It manifested itself in different ways but the most troubling was when it came to my relationships with men. I have dated numerous wonderful men over the years and, some of them, I really loved. But there was always a part [...]]]></description>
