Testimonials
PARENT GUIDANCE CLIENT:
"Sue-ann has been the most wonderfully warm and gentle voice of understanding and guidance over the last few months. Parenting is daunting and overwhelming at times but she has really helped us to understand how to make sublet shifts and changes to open up communication and connection with our child. All parents should get access to the 'Sue-Ann handbook' ...the world would be a waaaay better place"
private social worker and parent of child client:
"Every therapist dreads the moment when they are presented with a puzzle that they are unable to solve. This was my reality when multiple universes collided. After losing my mom rather suddenly I was confronted with being a son grieving the loss of his mother, a father needing to understand and comfort his two daughters and a therapist trying to support his clients. The load felt overwhelmingly heavy for one person.
It was at this time that I learned the meaning of leaning on a friend and colleague in a time of need. I have never been more grateful than I was that day sitting on Sue Ann's couch with my then seven-year-old daughter.
It is almost impossible to describe the relief I felt in knowing that my daughter was in hands of someone I trusted. Someone who for a time could be the watchman (watchwomen) on the tower. Confident that Sue Ann could help me be a parent while I grieved the loss of my own. Sometimes even the helpers need some help. I remain grateful to this day for Sue Ann's steady hand at this time in my family life."
PARENT SUPPORT GROUP CLIENT:
"Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the parenting course. I am finding it beneficial and inspiring. Helping me so much not only understand my children but myself too. An amazing support group!"
