I went through a very bitter divorce and many unpleasant things happened so that I was prevented from having contact with my daughters. When it was time to contact them, I could not communicate properly with them. They did not respect me and did not return my calls or emails. I needed help. Jan taught me how to speak to them and how to listen to them.

She explained the importance of praising them and of trying to attend events, such as music or sporting events that they participated in, so that they would see that I cared.It took time but now the communication lines have been opened and, thanks to Jan, I can speak to my girls, congratulate them on their achievements and participate more fully in their lives.

I send my 10 year old daughter to an expensive private school and was shocked to receive a phone call from the Special Learning Co-ordinator informing me that my daughter performed very poorly on the AIMS tests and something needs to be done. I was very worried as I had not had any indication before that there was something amiss. I contacted Jan and she organised for my daughter to undergo a series of educational tests. Jan analysed the results and wrote a comprehensive report outlining the scores, the percentiles, my daughter’s strengths and weaknesses. Jan listed many strategies that the teachers could use to lift my daughter’s academic performance. I was so happy to finally have a detailed overview of my daughter’s abilities across her school subjects.

My divorce was very unsettling for me and I was particularly worried about the effects on my 3 year old daughter. She is so beautiful and fragile, and why should she be disadvantaged because her parents could not get on. Jan helped me understand the developmental stages to expect and develop a close relationship with my little girl. I had issues with the way her mother was raising her and disciplining her. Jan listened to me and reassured me that I was doing the right things and helping my child develop to her potential.

She suggested family outings and dinners to reinforce the bonds. Jan was kind enough to come to my home and observe my little girl in her own environment and provide a report for a court case. I would not have been able to be a proper father on my own without Jan’s help and guidance.

I had an important position in a financial corporation and was rapidly promoted. On a day I shall never forget, the regional manager called me into his office and began yelling and verbally abusing me without apparent cause. I was totally shocked and had to run to the bathroom to throw up. I was advised to resign and had to leave without even saying goodbye to my colleagues. I entered a very depressed state where I withdrew from everyone, stayed on the couch and ate junk food, gaining 10 kg. I finally went to see Jan. She has been amazing; listening to me, helping me overcome the shock and trauma, and putting me on the right track to regain control of my life. With Jan’s help, I have lost weight, I have found a new job, and I am in the process of preparing an unfair dismissal case against my former employer. Jan has stood by me, and without her encouragement and assistance in identifying my strengths, I would still be on that couch stuffing junk food into my face.
