Testimonials

“Oscar initially found it challenging to discuss his concerns, but Jerri’s kindness and warmth made him feel much more comfortable during our sessions. He had the chance to talk about his worries and explore solutions to overcome them. 

We worked on understanding and addressing the root causes of Oscar’s anxieties. Previously, although we had talked about his worries, we had not always addressed the underlying issues, which prolonged his distress. For example, we discussed how Oscar felt after facing his fears, like attending his golf lessons without me. Before the lesson, we planned together, so he knew what to do if he needed me. Afterward, discussing his experience helped reassure him that he could handle such situations going forward. 

When Oscar mentioned his fear of heights, we created a step-by-step plan to tackle it. We visited a climbing centre and started with a simple plan: first, just observing, and then gradually climbing a small section. Oscar successfully climbed on the bouldering wall during our initial visit, taking it at his own pace and understanding it was okay to stop if he felt uncomfortable. 

Before our sessions, Oscar often had troubling thoughts at bedtime, which disrupted his sleep and led him to come downstairs frequently. Since our discussions, he has been able to stay in bed and no longer has these worrying thoughts at night. 

Jerri has been fantastic, and Oscar will miss her greatly. It has been wonderful to see Oscar’s progress over the past few weeks. Additionally, this experience has been a valuable learning curve for our family, helping us understand how best to support him in the future.”
