CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

As a 47-year-old woman, I came to counselling during one of the hardest periods of my life. I was caring for my elderly mother as she battled cancer, and then navigating the grief and emotional fallout after losing her. It was a time where I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of how to process everything I was carrying.

From the very first session, I felt genuinely heard and supported. What stood out most was the calm, compassionate way I was met — there was no rushing, no fixing, and no pressure to “be okay.” I was given the space to talk openly about my grief, guilt, anger, and sadness, all without judgement.

The counselling helped me make sense of emotions I had been suppressing while I was in caregiver mode. I learned that it was okay to acknowledge my own needs after years of putting someone else first. Through our sessions, I felt steadier, more grounded, and better equipped to move forward while still honouring my mum and the relationship we shared.

I’m deeply grateful for the care, empathy, and professionalism I experienced. I would highly recommend this counselling service to anyone dealing with grief, caregiving stress, or major life transitions — especially those who feel like they’ve been “holding it together” for too long.
