CLIENT COMMENTS:

“Just a note to thank you for your advice and kind words of encouragement.  My husband and I both felt very comfortable with you during our sessions.  It’s good sometimes to vent and realize that we are not alone in our plight as parents or as a couple.  You are a very special lady and it was great meeting you.”

“I just wanted to thank you for all your help and support.  I hope you realize that I couldn’t have gotten through this without you.  I always felt like I was talking to a very wise friend.  I’ll remember you fondly as a special person that made a huge impact on my life and who I am.”

“I think that the counselling help my husband and myself received was good.  She was very informative and kind.  It was great to talk to someone that did not judge me and really listened to what I had to say.  Margaret helped us a great deal with our problems.  Without her help I don’t know if we would have made it.”

“Margaret was excellent with my daughter.  They developed a good rapport and resolved some deep, rooted issues.  Excellent suggestions and tools.”

“A confusing situation accrued in my life.  With the excellent and successful counselling I received, I was able to put this situation behind me and move forward with my life.”

“I consider my family therapist a big contribution to my success in my life now.  Thank you.”

“After my partner and I went for counselling, I felt as though we were meeting our challenges more directly.  Until I started filling out the questionnaire, I hadn’t pinpointed my sleeplessness and anxiety so directly to our challenges.  I think my partner is accepting the situation a lot better now although his reactions towards me are still up and down.”

“Margaret helped me sort out my emotions and helped with communication on all levels i.e. family, relationships, co-workers and the public.”

“I like that the counselling is very goal oriented.  My specific concerns are addressed and solutions are discussed that will work immediately rather than long term vague discussions.”

“Just wanted to thank you again for everything you’ve done for me.  I feel so much better and I know it’s because of you.  When I talked to you it was the first time in years I felt truly understood.  Please continue to do what you do, because it’s so needed.”

“It’s very reassuring and comforting to talk to someone who is neutral.  Lots of encouragement and support was provided by my counselor, she made me feel like I was doing the right things.  Although my issue was not work related, the stress and exhaustion I was feeling may have caused me to miss days of work because I could not get motivated or did not have the energy to face my co-workers.  My counselor took time to care for me and my needs.  She made sure that I took time to focus on myself…trying to deal with work full time and home life is a big challenge and it’s important to get all the help and encouragement that you can.”
