“I can say without hesitation that our appointments have been of great benefit. Often to my own detriment, I am pretty guarded and wary of opening up and trusting people these days. Our sessions have enabled me to do just that and for that I am extremely grateful. It is always nice to know that you work without judgement and are always prepared to listen, whatever the issue may be. I feel able to ask your opinion and trust your judgement.”
