Counselling Agreement
After my first few sessions, I was almost immediately feeling more confident. Although it was the things I was doing in day to day life that were changing the way I felt, the advice and information I was given from Alastair most definitely set me on the path to the confidence I have gained.
By the end of my time with Alastair I am now a completely different person to what I was this time last year. I feel like nothing can phase me and I can do anything I put my mind to...I would like to say a massive thank you to Alastair and I would definitely recommend Kingdom Counselling to anyone who feels they need help.
