“I was “ripe” for counselling - ready to burst in fact! I guess most people are by the time they pluck up the courage to pick-up the phone.
The counselling I received at the Manna House gave me the opportunity to express, cry, feel but eventually to gain a perspective.
I am eternally grateful for their help and support.”

“Dear Counsellor,

“Dear Counsellor,

I would like to thank you and Mary very much for ‘saving my life’ at a difficult time! It is such a help to talk things over.”

“Dear Counsellor,

I can’t express in words the appreciation and thanks I wish to give you for helping me feel a person again. I shall never forget your kindness and all you have done for me. I am now without a job as my redundancy takes effect and I don’t know what the future will hold. But I do know I am now strong enough to face it - thanks to you.”
