What others have found in Sanctuary...

I had a wonderful experience working with Jearina from Sanctuary Counselling.
She was incredibly patient, and I truly felt heard and understood during our session. Through a video observation, she provided a clear and practical "blueprint" for
how I could better support my
elder daughter, Clare.
Since applying some of the strategies Jearina shared — such as encouraging Clare to make her own choices and regularly checking in with her — I’ve already noticed significant improvements. Clare has become more engaged, shows fewer attitude issues, and her moods have noticeably improved. She is also more willing to participate in the learning tasks we set for her.
​
I’m truly grateful for the guidance Jearina provided and will continue to use the skills and tools she equipped me with to support Clare’s growth and well-being.

When we first received Jearina’s blueprint report on our son, we were honestly speechless. It was as if she had known him personally : every detail felt so accurate and deeply resonant. It felt like she was seeing him through our eyes!
Beyond that, her kindness and compassion came through in every part of her report.
Parenting often comes with instincts we can’t fully explain, and Jearina helped us make sense of those feelings. She gave language to what we had always known in our hearts but couldn’t quite express and offered new ways of seeing, understanding, and supporting our child.
It’s been such an empowering experience, giving us clarity and direction as we continue to learn how to be the best parents we can be. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent wanting to better understand their child from a place of empathy and insight.

Aside from the amazing findings and detailed report Jearina provided, what stood out most to me was her genuine kindness and care. She created a safe, supportive space that made it easy to open up and share honestly.
I found Jearina’s insights and observations to be incredibly accurate and eye-opening. Her thoughtful analysis of my daughter helped me see things from new perspectives, which has deeply improved my connection and communication with her. I felt truly supported through the process — Jearina took the time to ask meaningful questions and understand not just my child, but also our relationship and daily dynamics.
Her report was clear and practical — a simple step-by-step guide outlining what to focus on, what to avoid, and long-term goals to work toward. It’s helped me reflect on myself as a parent and build more awareness around how I respond.
This is such a special and valuable service that every parent should consider. It almost feels like having a parenting “cheat sheet” — thoughtful, compassionate, and so effective. Since making small shifts based on her guidance, I’ve already noticed positive changes in my child’s behaviour and overall mood.
I’m deeply grateful for Jearina’s guidance and the positive impact she’s had on my family.
