Student Feedback:
My counsellor was the first person in my life whom I have shared my past with. The reaction I received was very comforting, giving me the confidence to work on my weaknesses rather than running away from them.”
“I started accepting things the way they were. I am someone who is not easily fine with changes”.
“A year ago I had not thought I’d be able to confront something so scary. Thank you for making it safe”
