The atmosphere of trust and safety in the counselling relationship that Charmaine built allowed me to share more openly without fear of being judged.

Words fail to express my gratitude to Charmaine for her excellent counsel. She helped me face my family of origin issues which led to fears and insecurities adversely affecting my marriage, family life and career. Charmaine is patient and listened attentively as I rambled on, frequently redirecting me to the problems originally raised. She is sharp at pinpointing the fundamental issues even as I skirted about the peripheral symptoms. She also works in a collaborative way that makes me feel involved in the process of recovery.
