Patient Stories – Saira Jabeen

I found being at the Police Treatment Centre extremely helpful following one of the hardest years of my life both personally and in work.

Attending the centre has helped me take a pause and have a reset for my mental health & wellbeing.

The wellbeing group was of a good size, and the sessions were very useful, engaging and provided me with the knowledge and resources to help myself. I was on the first group of 2025, we all bonded well as a group, encouraging each other and made each individual feel comfortable to share as much, or as little as each person wanted.

There was a balanced amount of group work, complimentary therapy, counselling, yoga, tai chi, relaxation, gym time, and the use of the swimming pool, steam room and sauna.

All the staff at the PTC were amazing, they genuinely cared about me getting the most out of the wellbeing course and were extremely helpful.

The food was excellent, each mealtime had a variety of options to choose from. The rooms were comfortable, clean and housekeeping were there for anything I needed. It was great to have the nursing team onsite, they were always available to speak with about any concerns that I might have regarding my wider health.

I would thoroughly recommend the PTC to everyone. It is an incredible place to recover both physically & mentally. I left the centre feeling like a brand new person, having met an amazing group of people, recuperated and ready to face any challenges I face in the future.
