I attended Diane's spring forward group as it instantly appealed to me. Diane offered a welcoming environment. From here I joined the winter group and engaged in the assertiveness class. I found the groups enjoyable,informative and learnt tools to handle the stressful situations I was facing in life. After this I accessed 1:1 counselling. I would highly recommend Diane. It can be daunting accessing counselling but Diane provides a safe space to explore some of the difficult challenges I was experiencing in a non judgemental way. I would without a doubt recommend Diane for support and guidance. Thank you Diane. You are a very talented lady and helped me see the wood from the trees!
