"Separation and divorce are an all too common occurrence and lots of us hope it never happens to us; but it does. I am still in the middle of my separation and Paula has provided me with a safe haven where I can talk, get advice and sympathy.
However, Paula’s services are not simply to comfort; she offer practical advice; in a professional manner, of the steps to be taken to get back on your feet and be in control of your own destiny.
It is said that separation/divorce is similar to a death in the family and the pain that one experiences can be overwhelming. What should I do? Where do I go? Am I to blame? So many questions and so much anxiety and yes, even fear. Paula can help shift through the fog. Like me, you should use all the resources you can and I highly recommend Paula to help you get through one of the most traumatic times in your life. You won’t regret it."
