ReferencesI am a lecturer at a Japanese university who has seen counselors on and off since I was a child. I found Sandra to be caring and open and she has helped me tremendously in becoming a better person. When I came to Sandra, I was dealing with issues of anger and how I dealt with conflict. I am now much healthier, thanks to her guidance. Sandra is not only a highly competent counselor, but also a kind and generous person who I am very lucky to have had as a guide in helping me to lead a more productive and successful life. I highly recommend her without reservation. S.C. Osaka, Japan I came to Sandra because for different reasons (traumatic events, menopause problems, difficulties with my partner, cultural discomfort from living abroad many years) my whole life, physical and psychological balance were totally collapsed. I simply could not live anymore. Working with her was a great experience of deep introspection and communication. I first felt so released to find in Sandra, a warm-hearted, positive and creative therapist who understood my sorrow and trauma. We worked together almost once a week for about one year and a half. Gradually, Sandra led me to the path of recovery and helped me to overcome the difficulties, to reconstruct myself and to find again the meaning and the joy of life. More than simply psychotherapy, working with Sandra became an extraordinary enjoyable moment of spiritual connection. Even though our sessions have finished one year ago, I can still feel the benefits of this therapy. It makes me so grateful to Sandra and to life. ME, Paris, France I met with Sandra Kimball because, as an exchange student, I frequently experienced bouts of depression and disruptive panic attacks. Ms. Kimball helped me not only resolve these issues, but she helped me develop coping strategies and techniques to recognize and prevent these distresses as they arise. Ms. Kimball was very easy to work with. Her open-minded and creative, personalized approach to sessions made my time with her both a healing and growing experience. A.M. New Hampshire, USA I am a long-time resident in Japan, married for 26 years to a Japanese man. For years, I shared our centuries-old country house with my mother-in-law, which was a difficult situation owing to the clash of personalities and cultures. When she died, I struggled with resentment and an inability to forgive her for several years, and finally came to Sandra in order to achieve closure. I was impressed with her direct and compassionate approach. The sessions we shared together were dynamic and interactive, utilizing many interesting methods. During the time I worked with her, I cleared up my issues with my mother-in-law and also examined other areas with very good results. I still check in with her now and then to touch base and get feedback on continuing changes in life. O.B. Shiga, Japan I was having severe marital problems and I needed help in coping with them. Because there are no counselors in my area, I contacted Sandra by email and began individual sessions via Skype teleconferencing. Through our sessions, I could get the advice and counsel I needed to work through the situation in my own language, together with new, objective ideas for me to try to make things better for my family and me. I recommend Sandra because she enabled me to explore my own behaviors and she brought a fresh and caring perspective that helped me develop new coping strategies and raise my own self-awareness. KC, Hiroshima, Japan I was a regular participant in a group led by Sandra for approximately 18 months. I had some reservations about working in a group situation, but I was immediately put at ease by the gentle yet firm way in which Sandra led it. She is a woman with innate abilities, a compassionate heart and charisma. I find Sandra to be one of those people who light up a room. Having her as a friend, mentor or counsellor is an experience I wish all people could have. C.G. NSW Australia |
