“Our son was in such an anxious place when we began and the shift after speaking to you was absolutely amazing, so I am hugely appreciative and grateful! I think it’s been really good for him to have a positive experience with counselling and to know that this is another tool available if he needs it. ”

“I can see great changes in my son. The joint sessions helped him to express his feelings verbally instead of showing his frustrations. He is able to process & understand his feelings now which has given him great confidence. The sessions also helped my as a mum to realise how my behaviour triggered him and how to change this around”
— Mum of 6 year old boy

“Sandra has been super supportive to our son and to us parents through some very difficult times. She’s worked with him on dealing with anger and expressing feelings, as well as helping us find ways to stop violent behaviour and to instead open up a dialogue between us. We have started to see positive changes in his behaviour and well being, as well as an improved consistency to his happiness. Sandra has shown a deep understanding of her profession at all times, and goes above and beyond with care for the people she works with”

“Dani gave me some great strategies to use in the classroom when I felt ‘E’ was loosing focus and unable to concentrate. The strategies were helpful and I used them with other children too. We met regularly and I found her explanations to be interesting and insightful. I felt that I understood a little more about ‘E’s’ behaviour in relation to his work with Dani. Dani always worked confidential and although she didn’t disclose any specific details, I felt I got a good picture of her work which really helped me to understand and support the child in the classroom”
— teacher, OLSJ School
“I wanted to thank you for the great work you’ve done with my daughter this year. I’m so happy that she has the opportunity to explore her feelings safely with you. You’ve been very patient and kind with me too and I’m very grateful for that.”
