“There are no limits of what you can accomplish, except the limits you place on your own thinking”
I attended [sessions] over a four month period for trauma, depression and anxiety problems. I was helped no end by Sandra, who listened and understood my problems.
Sandra unravelled the ball of wool that was knotted up in my brain that I couldn't unravel, but with her help she enabled me to see things a lot clearer and for what they were, and to differentiate between a real problem and an irritation. Above all I felt a great benefit seeing her as she really understood what was wrong and why.
Sandra is very easy to talk to even though some subjects were quite embarrassing for me to discuss.
I can thoroughly recommend Sandra, and should the need arise, I would not hesitate to see her again.
I was Chief Executive of a medium sized Investment Company, initially a start-up, based in Zurich. One of the challenges we faced was that our workforce was necessarily multilingual and multicultural. With friction between differing personalities being a potential issue, and in order to create a more harmonious and efficient environment and team, we asked Mrs Ross-Cameron, to start working with us. She had whole day sessions with various team members once a month for just over two years.
I have no doubt that her careful attention and guidance enabled individuals to come closer to reaching their full potential, and us as a whole, to be a better, happier team and ultimately more successful.
She was personable, thoughtful, reliable and efficient throughout and I would wholeheartedly recommend her.
I look forward to seeing Sandra, she gets everything I say, even when what’s coming out my mouth doesn’t always make sense to me! She explains things in a way that always makes sense, I can tell her anything she never judges and nothing I say is wrong. Sandra helps me look at things differently or gives ideas of how I can deal with issues in another way, or how to cope with other people or how someone is treating me that I’m not comfy with
I’ve seen therapists in the past, it’s always been quite ridged and structured and I’ve kind of felt like a name on a piece of paper and not a person. It’s almost like me as a person was wrong, but Sandra has never made me feel like this, and that at times I’ve probably been right to feel as I have but not been able to deal with it, or the emotions that has arisen from it.
I would recommend Sandra whole heartedly, I just wish there was a mini her that could sit on my shoulder and talk things through with me everyday!
Have visited several counsellors [for] 42yrs. This was the first time I have ever felt free of my anxieties that have governed me all my life.
Sandra got it Spot on that it was self esteem issues. I felt understood.. I could [understand] by the way she formulated, gave me techniques/tools.
She instilled positivity in me and explanation of my thoughts, and why they were so lodged. Helped me really change the pattern of my thinking.
The one to one was fantastic... I feel so blessed that I met her. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She helped me resolve the questions in my mind.
She was a real person, I didn`t feel I was talking to someone who was talking from a manual. I was treated as an individual… worth her weight in gold. 110% true.
