What clients have said

“It helped me through the worst year of my life”

“I feel I have a better understanding of who I am and about my family”

“It helped me move forward in a positive way and gave me back a sense of empowerment”

“Counselling is not about someone else providing the answers or telling me what to do.  For me it is about having a neutral environment to be able to talk through and hopefully see a way to resolving some of the issues in my life, or at least gain a better understanding of why I have reacted to certain things in the way I have. 

It’s very much like being on a journey -  I can’t say I have arrived but I can look back and see how far I’ve come”

“It was a great help in allowing me to become aware of my perceptions of myself and to accept things I cannot change”

“Helped me accept people were not coming back and to accept my grief reactions were alright”

Helped me look at my situation more objectively and move on”

“Having always subscribed to the “get a grip”school of dealing with life’s problems I never would have thought that I would have found counselling such a useful tool in getting myself back on track after the breakdown of my relationship.  Perhaps I had never been as low as I was when referred for help by my GP, but being able to come and talk through my issues, fears and emotions in a completely safe neutral setting has been invaluable.”

“I want to thank you so much for the support and assistance you have given me.  I came to Cairns having lost my way, really struggling to get through each day!  I leave having found myself and having a much better understanding of those around me.

I feel at peace with a lot of things that have troubled me for as long as I can remember. 
I feel ready to go out seek new challenges and tackle whatever I am presented with.  I am very lucky to have had the opportunity to attend Cairns and am very grateful for the service you provide.  Thank you all”
