These are some comments that I have had included in thank you letters after clients have finished counselling. Only initials are given to maintain confidentiality:
'When my child passed away, the whole family struggled with coming to terms with the devastating loss. Just having someone to offload to who wasn't emotionally involved with the family was such a great help. Both the children and I are so grateful for your support and understanding. Thank you'
-Mrs. T from Dorset
'Thank you for all your support over the last few months. I couldn't have come this far without you'.
-Mrs. G from Poole
'My husband and I are really grateful for all your time and effort you gave us after our loss. We are now able to look back with happy memories. I just wish we'd contacted you sooner. Thank you.'
-Mr & Mrs. A from Bournemouth
'I never realised how much counselling would help me get through this. Thank you.'
-Miss D from Poole
' My friend reccommended me to you as I was feeling very low and depressed. I was really apprehensive on having counselling but you made me feel at ease at my first session. With your help I've managed to turn my life around. Thank you so much'
-Ms. S from Verwood
'This has been a difficult few months for me, but with your support and just being there has been a tremendous help'.
-Mr. B from Christchurch
