"You offered me a space where I could discuss my issues and helped me to think of ways to deal with my deep-rooted depression. Against all the odds my mood has much improved. You have brilliant listening skills Cassandra but I think your real talent is your amazing ability to encourage people to question their long-held negative beliefs and think of their very own solutions to move forward. I have seen many therapists over the years but would never go to anyone else again."

"I was in such a dark place. I had lived with the deep trauma of my abusive childhood for over fifty years and then suddenly I couldn't survive another single day of haunting memories. Instinctively I trusted you because of your instant warmth and sincerity. We went at a pace which was comfortable to me and you were there on that emotional journey every step of the way, allowing me to slowly release a torrent of long-held pain and let it go forever. Cassandra, you literally saved my life." 

"You were recommended because of your vast experience in couple counselling and we came as a couple in despair. You were firm and fair to both of us, showing no favouritism whatsoever. We had equal time to speak in a safe, controlled environment which felt totally empowering. After just a few sessions we were able to see for ourselves that our marriage was worth saving, although you never put that pressure on us. Cassandra, both of us cannot thank you enough for your professionalism, integrity and total impartiality, even though you must have felt like banging our heads together at times."
