Astrid you are much valued as an FDRP, Clinical Supervisor and colleague. You bring a wealth of experience and a fresh, creative perspective to challenges and you have a great work ethic. I particularly value your ability to see clearly and without bias and your fantastic note/report writing skills.
You have worked tirelessly to ensure good client outcomes and your firm but steadfast way of using reflective supervision to insure consistency and quality service is another hallmark of yours.

I expected to be diagnosed, scrutinised, labeled, maybe judged. It is not like that with you at all: you are real and human and I really enjoy our conversations, they are very helpful to me and I look forward to them.

‘The committee would like to sincerely thank you for your exceptional service in this voluntary role over the years. On behalf of the committee, I would like to wish you the best of luck in your private practice, and thank you for the great contribution you have made in extending WAFLPN’s reach and engagement with the North west. You have not only been a huge asset to WAFLPN, but an amazing person to work with.

Thank you for helping my family (both parents and all children) with counselling and mediation: we really appreciate your help, flexibility and patience. We are happy to live together again as a family and continue to strengthen our relationships.

Astrids enthusiasm, her ongoing desire to learn and her high professional standard benefit everyone she works with. Astrids values, courage and honesty are admirable. 

Thank you for being such a wonderful and caring family counsellor. You have helped us so much and have made a big difference in helping us communicate in a more positive way. I also want to give you heartfelt thanks for those times you have made yourself available to us to help us through painful and challenging times. You are a beautiful and inspiring person and I give thanks that you crossed our paths.

Thank you for being such a wonderful Clinical Supervisor; I really enjoyed our sessions and appreciate all the knowledge and skills you have imparted to me. Your guidance and encouragement meant a lot to me. I thank you for your support and care. I really appreciate the wonderful work you do and the wonderful person you are, you are a star!

You make a real difference in people’s lives.

I did enjoy our sessions and thought they were beneficial. I was able to express myself and my needs; it was a weight of the chest and a weight off me. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere and controlled environment.

I was comfortable in your both interpersonal and professional skills that are quite obviously of a high standard.

Loved meeting with you Astrid, thank you for an amazing session.

I feel calmer, lighter, clearer, energised! 

WOW – the relief I feel makes me want shout it to the rooftops lol

It’s awesome that you are offering this therapy.

Brainspotting did not go as I expected. I felt more vulnerable than I ever had before. But I felt safe! Reflecting back, it was very effective. It was like the session was the cleaning of a very painful festering wound. After this clean up it could finally heal. This process continued long after the session and was so smooth and subtle that I only noticed after a few weeks, maybe months, that my huge issue was no issue at all anymore. It was a game changer for me and my wellbeing. Thank you Astrid, I am so so grateful you did this work with me!
