May creates a safe space where I feel like I can openly share without the fear of being judged. She also provides positive constructive feedback & coping tools.

It feels like May is walking with me; encouraging me, helping me recognise things and always providing support with my main aims and needs in mind. May gives me a lot of practical help and steps to follow which are really useful for me and I've incorporated so many things into my daily life. I feel very lucky to have been paired with her.

She's helped me accept myself and helped me realize that being different doesn't mean I'm a villain.
