Written Reports
Testimonial from Johnny 32 who worked on OCD and perfectionism
"I noticed on Jack’s website that he offered ‘written reports. Whilst this was not something I had ever previously considered; I began to think that it could be a really useful tool. Conversations can fade and I thought having something tangible I could refer to at any time would complement my treatment.
​
Jack kindly offered to write me a letter and I could not have asked for more.
​
The letter encapsulated everything perfectly and was exactly what I hoped for and more. On reading the letter my wife said ‘that’s amazing’ which sums things up well.
Along with everything I have learnt through our sessions, I feel so much more confident knowing I have the letter in my arsenal which I can refer back to at any time".
One of the most powerful things a therapist ever did for me, was to write me a letter, which summarised their thoughts on the therapy we had completed.
I have since attended training and gradually developed my own report writing skills. It is a therapy tool I now feel very confident and passionate about using and I have seen my reports have a significant impact on the therapy process with many of my clients.
​
There can be something incredibly validating about seeing your story, or problems, communicated via words by someone else. It is also pragmatic, in the sense that a written report can bring everything together, condense things down, and help you to articulate your difficulties to others more effectively.
​
The other great thing is the words in a letter or report will last much longer than your memories of the conversations we had, so you can always use it to refer back to.
