“I received an email the day after I emailed which was very prompt. I felt comfortable to discuss any issues during the counselling sessions and that the time was completely mine to use however would help me. I found Anna helped highlight keypoints and clarify difficult issues, which at the time were hazy. I always felt very supported and free to discuss anything in a non-judgemental and safe environment. Thank you.”
