"Catherine was able to identify some really good career options for me to explore, and helped me look at the pros and cons of each option.
Once I made a decision, Catherine was very supportive and assisted me get focused and complete my application.
I am now completing a Post Graduate Diploma in Primary Teaching with the University of Canterbury. I am looking forward to entering the teaching profession next year!"

'My son phoned me a short time after his session with you, and when I said he was sounding like his old self again, he replied… that’s because I have decided I am going to be a teacher Mum! Catherine was great.
Thank you Catherine, your wise council has got him facing forward again! I cannot tell you how good that feels!'
Cheers, Robyn
"After an acrimonious redundancy process that left me devastated and jobless Catherine was able to help me deal with the emotional trauma and at the same time have me assess my skill set and retain confidence in myself that I was employable. She competently shepherded me through a whole process from job loss to successful re-employment. Having worked out my notice period I was back in full time work within two weeks."

"Petro's personable approach drew me to her warmly. Petro has an understanding, caring and sincere nature; with an innate passion for enriching people's lives."
"I've really benefited a lot from my appointments with Petro. Petro has helped me a lot to focus on identifying goals and planning specific strategies to work towards those goals. All I needed was a push and some guidance, and Petro provided that. Thank you so much."
"I went to see Petro after my 27 year marriage ended abruptly and I was very depressed and confused. I found it extremely hard to cope day to day. She was very understanding and she listened. She gave me good advice and most of all some hope that my life would get better. My family said that I was much better for seeing her, I would recommend Petro to anyone who needed her help. She definitely helped me."
"This was my first experience of counselling so I really had no idea what to expect but I had heard you have to meet the right one. I did, first time, meant to be! Right from the start her compassion and intuition made me think I can really be me and not be judged or made to feel uncomfortable about what I was saying."
