“I’m really grateful to have met Amy. I came to her because I was going through family problems and I felt overwhelmed.

She helped me through my struggles by providing me with a listening ear and reassured me that my feelings are valid. She also helped break down and assessed situations that were bothering me and this helped me better understand how to cope with similar situations in the future.

Amy is friendly and approachable and this made me feel comfortable sharing my personal thoughts and feeling. After attending counselling sessions with her for almost a year I feel that I am able to better understand what and how I feel and it helped me to get overwhelmed less easily. I’m thankful for Amy!”

“I came because I wanted to resolve trauma that I experienced from the sexual indecency that I went through in my past relationship. I was suffering from anxiety as well so I wanted to have someone to talk to about all this.

It helped me understand the root of my problems and a pattern to my behaviour and attitudes. So I was able to pinpoint reasons why I felt anxious, which helped me avoid things that will make me anxious and to look for coping mechanisms that will help me.

I am moving on well. I have seen progress in how I have been coping with my anxiety as I have been taking practical steps to not over stress myself or agitate myself. Although at times there are still times where i get an anxiety attacks, I try to take things one step at a time. And forgive myself even if I do break down or flare up.”

“With everyone leaving at work and double hatting in my job, i started tearing at work uncontrollably. It became evident that i needed to speak to someone to process when it was straining the relationship between my husband and me.

I met Amy through church counselling, she helped me process the changes at work, gave me questions to guide my thoughts and understand my situation in an objective manner, in areas i felt inadequate she gave me encouragement. Unlike other counsellors I met, she prayed for me or got me to pray for myself, which gave me comfort spiritually.

I’m still a work in progress, working on not having work as my identity or look for affirmation in the people i work with but with the handles Amy has helped me with, it has allowed me to cope with the lies in my head better and work on positive re-enforcements 🙂

Thank you for all your help Amy 💕 !”

~ T. WL. (Female 27-yr-old)

“I was referred by a church friend to Amy when I was on verge of ending life as I saw no meaning to live anymore. It was easier to escape from my problems than to deal with them every day.

Amy was very patient with me throughout the course and through her sessions, she’s taught me some coping mechanism when it comes to my emotions and how I manifest them in my behaviour, as well as how care for my own well-being and understanding my thoughts/decisions better.

Currently I am in a better place and I know I couldn’t have been here without the help of a therapist. The burden is eased to have someone to take care of you emotionally and mentally, and to help you come out stronger. It’s especially important to me when my mind was cluttered and confused. Amy is professionally skilled in know how and what to question me. She’s sensitive in her tone and how she chooses to present herself.”

~ S. C. (Female 26-yr-old)

“Our child came to see Amy during the family crisis when things were at their worst. She was having trouble dealing with family relationships, self-esteem, overwhelming expectations, and demand.

Amy was a true lifesaver. She was incredibly patient and non-judgemental about our child’s thoughts, helping her navigate through the confusion, the fears, and the issues to help her center herself and truly understand what she wanted.

Amy also worked on helping her move past her fears to get to where she wanted and supported her every step of her journey. Amy also worked alongside her to empower her to make the right choice for herself.

Amy is one of the most empathetic therapists we have met. She provides a safe place to share with confidence. She also partners with the family to help the child by sharing strategies.

She truly cares for people and goes the extra mile to support their journey. We are so blessed to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

~ C & J (parents of a 14-yr-old)

 

A Special Note to Parents:

Counselling is a process of treading into the unknown arena, discovering what may not be obvious to the person.

We seek to do our best to provide for the children, which can begin by understanding their needs. As such, please be ready to support in the following ways, when referring your beloved child / children for counselling:

  • Be Ready: provide them your time by accompanying them for the first session so that they do not feel alone. Listen to them when they need.
  • Be Respectful: provide them the space when they work with the counsellor ie refrain from asking what has happened in the session unless they want to talk about it.
  • Be Responsive: provide them the support when they request for your presence in the session to hear them. They have a voice and wish to be heard too.
