My outcomes
Outcomes (self-reported)
The best outcome measure is the satisfaction of my clients, this is an example:
"I sought Carolina’s help a few months ago to resolve a long-standing emotional problem connected to a failed relationship. This was causing recurring bouts of severe depression. She has been of immense help in relieving the difficulties by one to one discussion and planning changes to my social and working life. Often the discussion of the root causes have been challenging, but Carolina’s professional judgement is such not to “escalate†things too quickly, and is always supportive. I am now able to cope with the problem much better than before, and I would recommend Carolina to anyone experiencing similar problems. I truly think I am better than when I first came to you".
"Hi Carolina, wanted to say a huge thanks for the support and therapy trough the last 12 weeks. It has been a tough process, however I am so very grateful for your guidance and will continue to reflect on this learning going forward, many thanks" Paul
