Sean "Billy" Baines: UK Veteran, RAF

“Since concluding my 22-year tenure in the RAF in 2013, I have struggled with various unresolved issues, compounded by personal life events. Over the past decade, these challenges have significantly impacted my daily functioning and overall well-being. The psychological symptoms I have experienced include social anxiety, depression and PTSD — flashbacks, nightmares, a stutter, and intrusive thoughts related to both my time in the forces and personal life events.”

“A trusted friend recommended PTSD Resolution due to their specialised support for Veterans dealing with PTSD and related issues. I decided to pursue their services and was introduced to Christine, my therapist, who has played a crucial role in my therapeutic journey.”

“From our first session, she has created a safe, welcoming environment where I feel comfortable sharing my experiences and emotions. Her deep understanding of military culture and the unique challenges faced by service personnel has facilitated a connection and trust essential for effective therapy.”

“We have explored numerous issues affecting me, both those I was aware of and others that were deeply hidden. This comprehensive approach has been critical in identifying and tackling the root causes of my distress. Together, we set specific therapeutic goals for our sessions. We have successfully addressed most of these goals, demonstrating significant progress in managing my symptoms. In our sessions, we also discussed the recent deaths in my family, which occurred in the past 14 days. Christine's support during this difficult time has been invaluable in helping me navigate my grief.”

“Through the six sessions with Christine, I and my wife have noticed considerable improvements in my mental health and overall outlook on life. There has been a noticeable decrease in the severity of my social anxiety and depressive symptoms. We have developed strategies to manage PTSD symptoms and handle stressful situations more effectively. I have a deeper understanding of my emotional responses and the underlying issues contributing to my distress.”

“At 52 years old, my experience with PTSD Resolution has demonstrated that it is never too late to seek help. Their support has been transformative, helping me address long-standing issues and navigate recent personal challenges with greater resilience.”

“I highly recommend PTSD Resolution for their exceptional work with Veterans. Their commitment to providing effective and compassionate care is beyond words and has been a crucial part of my journey towards mental health and well-being.”
