testimonials
“I’m not quite sure what I would have done without Ria. I was mentally unwell and lacked motivation to do anything. I was able to completely be myself and felt like she never judged me and walked me to the other side. Not only did I get emotional support, but I also left with practical things I could do in my daily life. “
— Karl, Client
“Ria simply has that “it” or “x” factor. People are drawn to her and she brings out the best in them. She can challenge and support growth and development as well as anyone I have ever worked with. She is a confidante and counsellor. She is one whom others naturally gravitate to for advice and help.“
