"Petro has helped me answer some tough questions" .... "her counselling was exactly what I needed at the time. I'm doing really really well right now" ...

“Petro is a wonderful counsellor. She is compassionate, patient and has a lovely sense of calm about her. I found Petro to be very intuitive and at the same time highly practical in the application of tools and techniques to help me move forward in a very resourceful way. Petro always worked with me and moved at my pace and timing, which was very comforting.
I would strongly recommend Petro to anyone as a trusted counsellor. She has wonderful integrity and ethics and has helped me tremendously.”

​

“I entered sessions with Petro as a couple with my husband. She held a non-biased presence for the both of us with awareness of our unique roles in relationship to each other. Her philosophy is focused on remembering the power of the mind to influence the emotional experience. She taught us to practice letting emotions happen without destroying the interaction my husband and I share.”

​

“I really benefited from my sessions with Petro. I looked forward to our time together, from the moment you arrive Petro creates a welcoming environment, offering you a cup of tea and a relaxing space helping you unwind from your busy day. 
Using mindfulness techniques Petro helped me to step back from my thoughts and see some of the unhelpful and self critical patterns I've unknowingly been holding onto for a long time. She provided a non judgemental space and lots of tools and interesting videos to explore at home. 
By the end of our time together I felt less anxious, more in control of my thoughts and overall more content in myself.”

​

"Petro is a very down to earth therapist who helps her clients see how thinking leads to emotions which leads to behavior. Very heartfelt and actually gives a damn. Highly recommended!”

​

"Every single person could benefit from having monthly catch ups with Petro.   She is insightful and knowledgeable and I walk away from every session with a new lens through which to see things. Even when I think we have nothing to discuss we always actually do.   I have seen a few people in my life for counselling support and Petro is one of only two that I cannot speak highly enough of.”

​

“Petro has helped me in so many ways, she’s incredibly personable and calm, while guiding the session in such a helpful way.   I couldn’t recommend her more!”
