Feedback for Becky
Dr Dale is a gifted psychologist who manages to balance professionalism, sensitivity, and good humour. She is extremely perceptive and has a remarkable understanding of how eating disorders operate. Without her help I would not have been able to recover.
Thank you very much for the help I received from the Oxford Mind and Body practice. Dr Becky Dale is a very kind and effective psychologist. She enabled me to understand myself and the way my brain works in ways I never thought possible. Dr Dale has the perfect balance between diligent professionalism and humour which makes the process a lot less daunting. Ultimately, she gives you the tools and self-awareness to trust yourself again, so you can recover and stay well. I feel very fortunate to have had Dr Dale as my therapist.
Working with Becky has transformed my mental health. It was amazing to see how far I had come in terms of my confidence and relationship with food when looking back at my new patient forms. I feel able to deploy muliple coping strategies when times get tough; feel more emotionally mature in my responses to challenging situations; and am happier overall. Even family and colleagues have noted the positive change in me!
Dr Rebecca Dale was exceptional in the handling of my care and mental health, providing me with clear and useful tools to manage my anxiety and asking the right questions to get to the root of my needs. The team at Oxford Mind and Body were very helpful with any administrative queries and easy to speak to. Highly recommend it to others in need.
Working with Rebecca has been a fantastic outlet for me that has built my confidence and helped me to process past experiences that have now been aired and I feel confident to move forward. I also feel that I’m not well equip and self-aware to identify if I need to speak with a psychologist again.
