I’m so relieved we engaged Deborah as our relationship councillor. She’s been absolutely amazing in giving us the tools and advice in navigating the stresses that come with our partnership. She’s so engaging, easy to chat to, confide in and has put us back on track after many months of instability. We have decided, even tho we think we have overcome our initial issues that we will continue our sessions to keep going on the trajectory. Thanks Deborah. We rave about you.

Deborah has been amazing in assisting my husband & I navigate through our difficulties, allowing us each a voice and opening up our lines of communication. She is compassionate, caring, diplomatic & very insightful. We have really appreciated our learning journey with Deb, as we can now move forward in our relationship with the strategies she has taught us. Thank you for being a great counsellor.

Gillian Fernandes is an exceptional therapist! She helped me through a very hard and challenging time in my life. She’s compassionate and a very good listener. She provided me with tools which I will value and use for the rest of my life.

Gillian Fernandez is a wonderful therapist. She actively listened to my concerns, provided emphatic reactions/feedback and understanding, as well as, helpful professional advice. She has been of great help each session.

Susan helped us through a really tough time and we are so much stronger, steady and better for it. We can’t thank her enough for her professionalism and compassion. The tools she gave us to work through issues have set us in good stead and will for the rest of our lives.

I was recommended to Susan by a dear friend. I was at my wits’ end as my 39-year-old relationship had hit a really rough patch with communications that were chock full of irritations and negatives. I was seriously considering throwing in the towel. I initially saw Susan alone, but she advised that, if I was seriously considering finding out the source of our problems, we needed to attend couples therapy if we wanted to salvage our relationship. As the saying goes, “it takes two to tango”. Having clicked with Susan from the get-go, I knew immediately we would be in safe hands. Thankfully, my partner was very open to couples therapy. Susan quickly identified each of our triggers and gave us a reading list each week so that we could better understand our negative approaches and reactions to each other. We got down-and-dirty to examine our personal identities, and showed us a better understanding of what makes up each other’s psychology. It only took a few sessions but we finally “got it”. We are communicating so much better and we try to avoid sweating the “small stuff”. We have a more positive reaction to each other’s little quirks and we now laugh a lot of it away. We have learnt to approach each other with more respect. As required, we find that we can turn on our “ambassadors” and avoid going into combat over the most trivial of issues. Sure, we still have our arguments, but we now have the tools to stop them in their tracks and not allow them to escalate. We both carry Susan’s sage words in our heads. Having just passed our 40-year anniversary of a ‘non married’ relationship, we feel it’s been a wonderful achievement to click over four decades. Some say you can get less time for murder. Ha! Thanks so much Susan for leading us down the path towards a healthy and happy relationship. J

Deborah Cole is patient, authentic and sincere. She is a great listener and shows compassion for the many issues that couples have to deal with. Thank you so much Deborah.

Me and my husband were meant to find MSRCC when we really needed someone to help us with our situation. Susan is amazing and gave us unbelievably great guidance to settle our problem and recover (me personally) quicker than we expected. Love how patience she was with both of us and thought us strategies to overcome our problems and differences that made us realise that actually we are still in love and need each other.
