Deb was available when I needed support and someone to talk to during a family members cancer diagnosis and treatment during the first lockdown, her lovely nature and kind words helped me emotionally and mentally during this stressful time she gave me the strength to deal with different situations that arose.LW, Adult client funded via school
We approached Ruth for support, guidance and advice as a family unit experiencing stress, anxiety and emotional overload in varying ways and for varying reasons. We found Ruth to be very approachable, kind and accepting and the work that each of us did with her to be extremely worthwhile. Her knowledge and experience in the area of our difficulties was excellent and allowed us to relax into the process and work through our issues at the pace that suited all of us. Her empathy and compassionput us at ease and allowed us the space to explore our issues in a non judgemental environment.K Connell, Private Client
