"Nadia, thank you for your time, input and patience.  I have very much appreciated the opportunity to sit down and talk stuff over with you.  Your kindness, non judgement and professionalism has benefitted me big time.  Thank you for being part of my journey and helping me on my way."

"Nadia, I was looking back to see where I was and where I am now.  Since, I've been seeing you my confidence, self-esteem and other values are shining through.  The fears I had about doing things I'm getting over.  I can now speak in front of groups to people with addictions, mental health problems, learning difficulties and others I work with.  I am not mentally attached to some of the things I have been carrying around in my head.  I wouldn't be doing these things without the help from you.  I can't thank you enough for all of the work you have done with me.  You have helped me find myself, helped me in my recovery and made me stronger in so many ways.  Thank you for getting my life back."

"I found Nadia friendly, made me feel at ease, gave me the time to gather my thoughts and to reflect on things I had done in the past and suggested maybe looking at things from a different perspective.  The times I thought I had nothing to say with a little prompting in the right places I found I ended up unloading a lot of the junk in my head.  I can honestly say after the counselling sessions with Nadia I have come to a better place in my head with regards to the feelings of guilt I was suffering from which I believe were a major contribution to my issues with addiction.  Having a counsellor means I can clear my head out and go into group work with a clear head and concentrate on what I need to.  I also found Nadia very professional and down to earth."
