“Barbara helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. I first went to see her because I was seeking a new career. When she learned I was struggling with personal problems—primarily, my inability to come to terms with my mother’s death—she helped me first to face and then to overcome many of these underlying problems. At the same time, we worked toward finding a far more fulfilling career, one that I am now pursuing. From our first meeting, I was aware that this is more than a job for her—she truly cares.”

“I struggled with depression for many years and felt stuck in the recovery process.  Barbara’s constant support and gentle guidance have helped me identify my feelings, recognize my automatic thoughts and change my thinking patterns.  She didn’t just offer me a quick fix solution; she helped me build the foundation for a whole new way of thinking.  My outlook is changing for the better, and my family members and friends have noticed the difference.”

“Barbara, thank you so much for all your help. You were very patient and showed so much interest and concern. I feel as though a huge load was lifted after completing the counselling. I am now able to concentrate on the short and long-term goals created during this process. I am very happy to be able to move on to the next step in changing careers.”

"Thanks for helping me through my emotional highs and lows, and for being so patient with me. Before coming to see you, I wondered if something was wrong with me. I felt like I was lacking something in terms of the tools that I had. You helped me see the value of what I do, and the style that I like to work. This acceptance of myself makes me feel more confident. I feel better equipped to set realistic goals for myself and to check in with myself to make sure that I’m on the right track."

"I would like to thank Mrs. Fish for helping me to get back on my feet four years ago. I will never be able to express just how much you have changed my life. You have given me optimism and confidence where I once felt hopeless. It is a wonderful feeling to believe that I control my future."
