Daphne Galia, Former Client

“My emotions were… I was very angry at that time, I was also very sad. I was overwhelmed with everything so it was very difficult to speak; very difficult because pain doesn’t allow you to talk… it was very easy to speak to Amber though…  I left home… and Amber said at 3 O’clock you have an appointment with a counsellor.  So as from that day I started going to counselling…

Counselling helped me go through the process of the divorce and helped me emotionally … I describe counselling like a basket… balls of wool, when you bring out one ball from the basket everything comes with it, everything is tangled.  My mind was that tangled… and the counsellor, all she did was take a ball out, mend it and put it aside… take another one, mend it and put it aside and that is how I felt my mind cleared up… 

When things started going wrong with the other party, I remember calling Amber very distressed…she calmed me down and I learned how not to bring out the anger and not to think in a negative way… divorce is always very painful and there is pressure on your emotions… Amber always gave the best advice because when she decided to do something it always brought out a positive result… Amber worked with … positive emotions… positive feelings and positive energy… her input was amazing.  She carried me throughout the process.  She’s a lawyer but at the same time she is like a guide and a leader but in a gentle way.”
