“I feel much more positive, if you want things to change you have to make them happen. It was all excellent and they made me feel very welcome and relaxed.  You can ask and speak to them about anything.” 

“I feel much more happier in myself and ready to move on, I don’t have to let the past get in the way…… I feel so much better now because I know it was not my fault, it never was and never will be.  I am not on my own.  I’m more positive, have my head higher and I am a happier person.”

“I’ve become stronger and more confident and happy in myself.  Thank you so much for listening and understanding how I’ve felt and not judging me.  You all do a brilliant job.  Thank you for that.”
