Moose Driving

"Driving isn't for me, it's for others"

A line which our resident Therapist Chris Allsopp ADI hears all the time. After their pass today, they now how have methods to help their agoraphobia, anxiety and driving for the rest of their life.

In December, we received an email from someone who had ignored driving all their life, for more than 30 years. Who didn't try because it wasn't for them, to quote them "me becoming a 'driver' was about as likely as me becoming an astronaut and I gave it about the same amount of thought."

However, living in a rural setting, they really wanted to be able to drive to the shop and to their horses & donkeys each day. That's all. It took a while before they emailed, but the bravely did in December.

They started with Chris a couple of weeks later and step-by-step developed their understanding and confidence. Created a safe environment of control.

5 months of mixed therapy & driving lessons has got them from never considering being a driver, to passing their driving test first time.

They also have the ability to check-in anytime with Chris, as all ex-students do for a catch-up and check-up on how life is progressing.

Congratulations again.

Congratulations Lowrie on passing your driving test today.

1 driving fault, despite so many other drivers making it difficult with late signals, signals without actions, her least favourite manoeuvre (or at least it was before the last lesson).

Lowrie came to Chris Allsopp ADI for his Anxiety support after a bad experience with the first person who was teaching her to drive which was increasing her anxiety.

Lessons at her her pace, in the way she needed them. Structured based on her cognitive style to ensure everything she learnt became intuitive.

37 hours is less than the national average, but it's what was needed for Lowrie to be safe.

Looking forward to the Pass Plus course in a couple of months time.
