TESTIMONIALS

"The insight and awareness I've gained over the last few months of counselling have been incredible and long-awaited. I feel I have a strong foundation under me, finally."  Glare T

Patrick’s caring and empathy as my counsellor made all the difference. His caring approach and gentle questioning guided me towards a place where I could see things more clearly, a place where I could begin to reflect on who I am and what's important to me.”  Tania Y

“Our work with Patrick helped us to have more nurturing relationships with our children and with each other. With his guidance we were able to develop a more united approach to a number of issues. We established a set of family rules and parenting strategies that we refer back to if things seem to be deteriorating. Through parent coaching we were able to take the focus off our children as 'the problem' and create more satisfying responses to tough situations.”  Vicky & Robert S

“Patrick offers a warm, safe and comfortable environment for people to share their most private thoughts and feelings.  His forward thinking, his ability to identify key issues quickly and his dedication to implementing solution oriented goals ensures progress”.  Allen D

“Hi Patrick, ... I wanted to let you know that since our sessions with you Michelle and I have been getting on really well for at least the past three months. I still keep working on my thinking. It is amazing that I still find a lot of unhelpful thoughts and ideas, washing around in my mind. You will be pleased to know that I persist with identifying and challenging them, and replacing them with more helpful ideas. Thank you Patrick.”  Michelle & Michael S

"Patrick, Just a short email you to let you know how grateful I am for the help you gave me with my panic attacks. I regularly think of the things you told me and found the whole experience very useful. My recovery from the worry was almost instant and I'm certain I won't have a panic attack again. … So thank you.”  Jon G

“Dear Patrick, Thank you for helping me overcome my angry disposition. It was around session three, the anger started to drain out of me. Sessions four and five gave me some great insights and skills. I'm much better with my wife and my kids, and we all enjoy each other's company so much more. I just feel so much more laid back. I cannot imagine getting angry about the things that used to send me insane.”  Paul M

“My self-confidence has grown and grown. I take lots of risks in work now, and at home and socially. I almost never feel panicky or ashamed to speak up. I've given up my demand that life 'must be safe', and that I 'must be perfect.”  Monika M

“The individual counselling sessions we attended helped each of us to get in touch with our behavior, thoughts, and feelings, and the "family of origin" issues that were affecting our everyday actions. Individually, we have also learned how to establish boundaries between ourselves and others, when and where needed. As a result, both of us feel much more self-assured, and we have become increasingly more capable of expressing our feeling appropriately, as well as identifying when others are trying to manipulate us.”  Tony & Sharon K

“During the couples' sessions, we were able to apply what we had learned in the individual ones to improve how we communicate with each other. Some of the revelations about our feelings which came out in these sessions, especially those about our families, were eye-opening and helped us to better understand the foundations of our partner's behaviour. Our discussions now are much more productive, as we find it infinitely easier to speak from the "I" position in the majority of our exchanges.” Robert & Rebecca H

“We highly recommend About Counselling Solutions for anyone who is interested in both self-improvements, and in developing more mutually satisfying relationships with other people.” Charles J

“I wanted to write to you and express my gratitude for your kindness, wisdom, and time. It is difficult for me to put into words just how much you have helped me in my life. I truly feel free from so much that had always been preventing me from peace and happiness. I know that I will always have work to do, but I feel that this work will now be to enrich my soul and my life and not work that is done to rid myself of a dysfunctional behavior. It feels very good. I feel empowered.”  Rebecca R

“Being able to make sense of things, just knowing how everything fitted together and then seeing the changes I can make – that’s what helped me. I no longer feel at the mercy of things.” James T

‘I feel so much better in myself, happier, lighter and more confident. I no longer feel that everyone is judging me or that I have to perform all the time for people to like me; I can be myself.’ Jane G

“All of my relationships have improved and I can function so much better at work. Things with my boss had been heading downhill and this was really the last hope for me. I’m really glad I came.” Darren S

“We came thinking our relationship was over and now we have fallen in love all over again.” Shane & Cheryl D

“Following a breakdown and depression caused by outside influences, you helped us immensely by listening, understanding and suggesting various strategies. This helped us to cope and put our lives back on track.” Hans & Joan Y
