Testimonials

"I would just like to take a moment to say thank you for all that you have done to assist my healing process. I was struggling with demons I never knew were living inside of me. But I can safely say I’m doing much better. I underestimated the power of therapy until I experienced it myself and I would recommend it to anyone, in fact already have recommended it to a couple of my colleagues who have recently started their sessions. Again thank you very much.’ So I would like to convey my greatest Thanks to my councellor. Thank you for helping me, help myself. 🤞I truly appreciate you. Side note: To those that are afraid to seek help, do it now. This is for your own good and trust me when I say that, it is. Today, I am a better person because of FAMSA BUT IT STARTS WITH YOU AND THEY WILL HOLD YOUR HAND EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

Before my counselling sessions with a FAMSA's counsellor, I was drowning in my own emotions. Always felt sorry for myself for what I had gone through in the last few months of 2020. On our first session I felt cared about and only because my counsellor, genuinely asked me how I truly feIt. I know now that the healing process started with me taking a decision to book a counselling session with FAMSA. The best decision I have made this year.

Voor FAMSA was ek ses jaar van dwelms af maar daar was altyd iets wat gekort het. Na 'n vriend van my by FAMSA was het hy hulle aanbeveel. Ek het gegaan en die eerste paar sessies net gepraat. Daarna het my berader dieper begin delf en kort voor lank het alles weer sin gemaak. My berader help my huidiglik om 'n ou verhouding wat my baie negetief beinvloed het, af te sluit en 'n nuwe verhouding op die regte manier te begin. FAMSA se beraders help met oorgawe, met liefde en met deernis. Al wat jy hoef te doen is om op te daag.
