The Lucy Rayner Foundation Wellbeing Centre

At the worst time in my life, I was grasping around trying to find someone who could listen and help me try to make sense of my world which had come crashing down and no longer made any sense whatsoever. I felt like a little boat out in a raging sea with no anchor, no one to steer, and everything so dangerous – being constantly battered by enormous waves. Filled with huge anxiety and fear, I knew I had to do something. Plucking up courage I tried various contacts I had been given or had ‘googled’ only to hear an answering machine or to be told to fill in a form but there was a long waiting list. Jenny was the only one who said, ‘Yes, let’s meet’. I met her the next day at her office and immediately got that she understood what I was going through. Immediately there was some relief, and I was able to open up more. Jenny listened patiently with empathy and understanding. By the end, I even managed a smile and felt a little lighter. Jenny has literally been my lifeline at a very dark time for me and my family. She gave me hope at a time when I had none and didn’t know which way to turn. Her positive energy helped me see that although this awfulness would never go away, there was hope. I will be forever grateful to this amazing lady and her wonderful charity.
