Sy is die eerste sielkundige wat my uiteindelik gehelp het om die dieper emosionele en sielkundige letsels van die verlede te identifiseer en het my gehelp en gelei om dit te hanteer. Na 10 jaar wat ek by my ouers moes bly weens veral die angs, en depressie, het ek in 2019 1200km van my ouers af weggetrek en is nou ongelooflik gelukkig, selfstandig en angsvry!!
