'Over recent months you have been involved in counselling one of my employees who was enduring severe personal difficulties that were having a profound effect on their performance within the business. I am delighted to report that since the completion of your counselling (within the stated timescale), we have witnessed a quite remarkable change in the employee's ability to cope with the demands of the job they do and the way that they relate to the other employees in the business.

I am quite sure that with your help we have prevented the likely breakdown of a member of staff and gained a much more valuable and effective colleague at the same time. I would like to thank you for your help and would be happy to provide a reference for your services at any time.'

Mark Finlayson, MD, Next Communications

'I was very impressed at the way in which you put in extra time and effort for one of my clients to create and hold together a management team at a time of great difficulties for the company. But I was even more impressed with the strategic document which showed your clear understanding of the operational functions of the business and the process between them. This paved the way for a clear management structure, and your document was invaluable to my client in their efforts to raise investment.

As well as the individual counselling that I know you provided to our client's staff, your grasp of strategy and leadership development within companies is a definite commercial asset which I recommend strongly.'

Thank you for the counselling you provided for our newest member of staff. Although he had not been at the company very long we had already invested money and time in his training. His over emotional behaviour and his extreme reactions to any events slightly out of the ordinary were causing huge problems amongst the rest of our work force

As management we felt completely out of our depth dealing with someone with such chaotic emotions.

After just a few sessions with you we now feel able to continue with his employment. Up to this time he was at serious risk of losing his job.

He is now an able member of staff with a much greater understanding of his own behaviour and is able to modify his emotional extremes, making him, for the rest of the work force far easier to work with.

Spending a few hundred pounds on counselling has meant that we have not wasted the money already spent on this individuals training and also that we will not incur further costs training someone else to do a job he is well able to do.
