Reviews of Counselling & Coaching by Counsellor Cassandra Chiu

"In our marriage, we were at rock bottom, but thanks to Cassandra's guidance, we climbed back to stability. She helped us to be conscious of how we communicate to each other and to see each other in a different light, to work things between ourselves. Our sessions started from weekly, to fortnightly, to once a month. Depending on how much our relationship improved, she will reduce the frequency of sessions. Thank you so much for helping us in a span of 3 months!"

"I got in touch with Cassandra when I was at one of the lowest point in my life. She was patient, encouraging, understanding as she helped me to sort through and work through the myriad of negative feelings and the web of emotional turmoil I was undergoing.Cassandra was never pushy and she was very much in tune with what I could handle at each session, steering me and allowing me to slowly regain my self esteem n putting pieces of my life back together again. She guided me through new perspectives in looking at issues and that has enabled me to look beyond what my narrow focus could manage at that point in time. As I looked back at what I was versus who I am now, I can only say I am thankful that I had Cassandra’s help in navigating through a really difficult time of my life and helping me get back on my feet again."

"At first I was skeptical that going to a counsellor would solve the problems in my relationship but because of the hard times we were going through I decided to give it a try. Throughout several joint sessions Cassandra gave us–in a very professional and caring way–a different mindset and view on how our partner feels and reacts and she taught us concrete techniques to deal with conflict. I can easily say that I wouldn’t be in a happy relationship now if it wasn’t for her counselling."

"Cassandra is a very intelligent listener who pays full attention to you and offers detailed advice on how to proceed forward."

"Working with Cassandra, I find that she offers practical advice, insights and new perspectives to issues, however and more importantly, they are tinged with kindness and compassion. The journey is never easy but talking them through with her can infuse one with hope, enough to make it through the week."

"Cassandra was recommended to me by my sister's friend. I was going through a bad breakup and I needed someone to help me. When I first met Cassandra, I felt comfortable and a sense of warmth, and I was able to share freely and openly. In all the sessions I had, she continues to guide me, she made me more self-aware. She has also taught me effective methods and strategies that can be used easily to cope with my stress and anxiety. All in all, I am glad that I have approached her for help."

"I am glad that we made the choice to see Cassandra. She is sharp in picking up the incongruence in thinking and the session has helped my teenage boy to better cope with his issues. For my boy to say he is comfortable to share his struggles with an outsider, Cassandra you have changed his view of counselling to a very positive one. Thank you."

"It is tough going through a rough patch on your own. The breakdown of my marriage affected my life deeply. Cassandra was not only comforting, but combining her patience and experience, she provided me with much needed reassurances that i could move on. I felt free of judgement in her company and that made it easier for me to "let it all out". Thanks to her, I am not in a state of depression."

She has helped me to find balance and happiness when i never thought i could. Our weekly sessions has helped me grow and I am so very glad to have found her."

"I was hit with a sudden and unexpected crisis, which put me into a state of paralysis for a week. It took a lot for me to crawl out of that hole, and to try to make sense of what happened. Cassandra was a key part of that process. Through working with her, I uncovered some deep-seated and hidden issues in my early life that still, unknown to me, affect me deeply today. What I experienced began to make more sense to me, and that was really helpful. I can't say I'm 100% in the clear-to me, life is a constant struggle-but with Cassandra's help I think I now see things more clearly. And that helps, a lot, with dealing with life.."

Cassandra always involved me in working out solutions or ways of coping. My personal involvement in these decision-making modalities made a real difference in my recovery. One must work hard to change or at least adapt. I didn’t quite believe Cassandra when we talked on the phone to make my first appointment that I would feel much better and see significant results within 3-4 sessions, but it really happened. I am deeply grateful to her."

This made it comfortable for me to open up, which allowed both of us to discuss and explore the matters at heart.Once we identified the underlying core issue, she was there to guide me as I navigated through the darkness. She was also there to welcome me as I came out on the other side, a much stronger person than I was before. Overall, Cassandra was able to help me gain new insight in dealing with my grief.
