Giving thanks to all our clients

Having lived in the US for the last 3 years I have come to love Thanksgiving and the practice of connecting to what we are grateful for and expressing our gratitude to those who have impacted us.

So on behalf of Rachel, Justine, Antonella, Sonarzu, Sarah, Hattie and I, I’d like to express our gratitude to all of our clients.

Giving Thanks

Not everyone has the strength and courage to open to the vulnerable places inside of themselves and we are always so honoured and privileged that people decide to do this work with us.

Our clients teach us what it means to be brave, to survive trauma and adversity, to overcome tragedy and to keep seeking a better brighter future even when it feels very far away. We admire the determination and perseverance to keep working on that which we would often rather avoid and are reminded by our clients to keep doing this ourselves. We are grateful for the relationships we build with those we work with and the laughter and tears shared in the therapy room.

So to all our clients both past and present….thank you.
