What our clients say
I was heard and helped to understand what I was going through. The biggest change was learning to look at my own behaviour and not my ex. Things are not perfect but better and the kids are so much more settled. Thank you
The coaching was exactly what I needed. You were always an honest sounding board which helped me to make my own decisions about what I needed to do.
It was hard and nothing that I thought I would be doing but my kids are so thankful that things are now less stressful. Thank you
