very difficult time.”

“you and Adriana truly have been invaluable to me in what is a really difficult
time in my life at the moment. “
N, IT Programmer.

“We were introduced to Adriana in 2023 because it was obvious we needed
marriage counselling after 43yrs of marriage.
We had 12 sessions in all some of which involved being linked in different
parts of world not minding the different time zones.
We both found her therapy very helpful and at the end we both agreed we
gained tremendously from the therapy sessions.
After we’ve completed all the sessions, we’re now applying the strategic
‘tools’ she has thought us. We’re  continuously working on our relationship
and is helping us to achieve positive married lives which is work in
progress.  
We hereby recommend her for such purpose if such needs arises and we’re
grateful for her support during our crisis period.”
B, Doctor.

“I was in a really bad place, stuck at the bottom of a hole with no way out, no
sign of it getting better. I had almost given up, trust issues were a really big
thing. I knew from having therapy before that by the time I had managed to
trust the therapist, it was time for the sessions to be over. This is what I
expected, how wrong I was. Most therapists would have given up, resigned
to the fact that they wouldn’t really be able to help. Adriana gave me the
time and space with gentle encouragement to keep coming back for sessions
and to keep trying. I learnt to trust and let her in. I am so glad I did. In the
deep dark pit I was in you can’t see a way out, what I didn’t expect was
Adriana to jump down into the pit with me. She helped me to make a ladder
and held it firm. Even when some of the rungs broke and I felt like I was
going backwards, she was there and not letting go. When the ground gave
way and I sunk deeper, she was there and helped to pull me up and put me
back on the ladder. My ladder has very firm foundations now and I know
that even if I slip, the ladder will remain – and thanks to all I leant I can keep
making my way up to the daylight. I will never be able to say thank you
enough, but I will say it again, “Thank you”. Mrs J.

“Adriana provided a safe, confidential and supportive space for me to discuss the challenges I was facing during an incredibly difficult time in my life. She was incredibly patient, while also gently encouraging and positively challenging me to take better care of myself. Drawing on her many years of experience and wisdom, she offered guidance that was truly invaluable.
I’m deeply grateful for her support in helping me navigate such an emotionally complex situation, and for the professionalism, empathy and care she demonstrated throughout.”
E.A., Medical Practitioner.

Once again, heartfelt thanks for all you have done so far.”

“Thank you for all the help and support you have given me over the last 6 months. I honestly thought I would never feel happy again, but with your help and support, I feel so much stronger! I will always be thankful for you as you were a bright light in a dark place.
Thank You.”

“Thanks very much. I found your counselling invaluable.”

“Life is a journey, but it’s not the destination that’s important; it’s the experiences along the way and the people who touch your life and who you touch theirs, be it only for a few moments or a few years.
Adriana, I will never forget you, thank you.”
J.

“I wanted to take this opportunity to say again how grateful I am for your help and support this year. I am happy to say I feel in a completely different place than how I felt at this time last year – compared to now, everything felt like a struggle, even when not at work, I felt a pressure to make every second count. Now my outlook is a lot calmer.
Thank you for all your guidance and advice. The two most important to me were to pat myself on the back, which has become much more of a daily habit for me now, and pilates, which I really look forward to doing, and it is really helping!
Thanks again!”
R.M.
