Inspiring success stories from our clients

I found it really helpful learning to challenge negative thoughts by looking at the positive things that are going on which I never used to focus on. I felt listened to and helped.

At FA I found a place where I was listened to and felt heard. Counselling also helped me to stay focused on the issues and begin to address our family trauma in a way that has helped me to find a new way forward for me and my children.
