“I have been a client over the last couple of years. Josey was fantastic. I have grown so much, especially over the last 6-7 months. For myself, after many years looking for a good counsellor, I feel that I have found that with Josey. And I can't put into words how much it means to me. Personally I found our sessions so productive and rewarding. Thank you.”

“Josey was brilliant, compassionate and helped me with many issues. She was gentle, encouraging and challenging, all in a very positive way. Josey saw things from a different perspective and raised my self-esteem. She was also very observant.”
