“I remember when I first came, I was heartbroken, crushed, feeling depressed, disappointed in myself, useless, lacking self-worth to name a few. I could not even complete the form because of the weight on my mind (in reference to my ex-partner). I am one of the less fortunate to have had a bad marriage. I have experienced all sort of violent abuse, both physical and sexual. With the weekly counselling sessions, I was able to gain my self-worth. I was able to do the following:
- To live (no more suicidal thoughts)
- Recognise the importance of looking after myself
- Acknowledge the help and assistance from good friends
- Tried to improve my life and see positive things with helping others
- Not to under estimate myself
Even though sometimes I am nervous because I think of the past, I am better off now and I know what to do with my life. There is always help. Thank you for being there for me Tina. You have saved 1 soul. Thank you, I really do appreciate all your support, patience and assistance you have given to me.”
