Testimonials

“ Hi Antonia
Just a quick  note to say thank you for all the help you have given me. Your knowledge and guidance has helped so much.
With the "Homework" you've provided its made such a difference to my life in general. I have to admit that the homework has not felt natural for me however this is why I see you, so I get a different path and perspective.
My friends who have been superhero amazing through all the challenges, have said "What is it about the therapist that makes her so good that you would travel so far to go and see her?" The response is quite funny "Its because she's to good at what she does, I trust her when I go into the dark corners that I'm safe to talk about stuff, plus she can hand my ass to me on a plate while drinking a cup of tea"

“Dear Antonia, I hope that you are proud of me - I need you to know that if it wasn't for your help, I would not have been able to do either of those things above - and yes, I can hear you asking the question - YES, I am proud of myself. Thanks Antonia!!! I know I still have a lot ahead of me, and will almost definitely need more help, but so far, I think I am heading in the right direction - Finally!!"

“I came to Antonia after 15 months of suffering extreme grief and loss and severe depression from a bad family breakdown which culminated in an attempt on my life.  I was 49 yrs old.  From that first meeting Antonia has listened and guided me back to a point where I am again a functioning human being.  In her commitment to me she wouldn't let me give up and was able to show me that glimmer of light when I was in that black hole.  She has an empathy, warmth and wisdom that allowed me to feel safe to open up details of my life that I have spoken to no one else.   She is honest and caring and I have complete faith in her judgement. I live in the country 5 hrs from Brisbane and Antonia has been available to me by phone and email.  In a recent crisis Antonia spent a lot of time on and off all day talking to me and my family by phone to ensure I was going to be alright.  I don't know if she realises how much that meant to me.  After 18 months I don't see Antonia much but to know she is there for support or advice I know I never need to feel I am on my own if I'm not coping. Thank you Antonia!!!"

“Dear Antonia, I wanted to thank you for all your assistance, support and encouragement over the past few weeks. I've only been to see you a few times but I just wanted you to know it has made a world of difference having the support of both yourself and Doctor. You went above and beyond of what I ever expected. So thank you for everything you have done.”

Thank you so much, if it wasn’t for you who helped me and taught me to grab the ball and run to scream for my kids. I just want to thank you for touching base and caring.
