Client Testimonials
My husband and I took the Love and Logic course with Christine two years ago, and it was truly transformative for our family. Christine’s warmth and empathy, coupled with her practical strategies, restored our confidence as parents. Now that our kids are teenagers, we’ve encountered new challenges.
When our younger son started high school, we also moved houses, which brought a lot of frustration for him and led to frequent meltdowns. Computer games became a significant problem and there were constant arguments among our kids, which turned our previously calm household into a chaotic one. This left us all emotionally exhausted and stressed. Desperate for help, I tried reaching out to a psychologist but received no response. Christine immediately came to mind.
Christine took the time to listen to our struggles and understand what our family was going through. After booking a session with her, I felt a profound sense of relief knowing we were getting the support we needed. Christine visited us and spent three hours with our family—one hour with each of our sons and another hour with my husband and me. Both of our boys quickly warmed up to her. They felt heard and understood as she empathetically listened and helped them work through their issues, coming up with realistic solutions together.
When Christine spoke with my husband and me, she shared her observations and insights from her time with our boys. Her perspective was incredibly valuable, revealing more than we had been able to uncover on our own. Together, we focused on our most pressing problems, and Christine provided us with practical strategies to address them. Over the next few weeks, we gradually introduced these changes, involving our kids in the process.
While we’re still working through our challenges, we’ve become a closer family, learning to communicate our emotions more openly and finding more opportunities to connect. Screen time is now more manageable, and our kids understand their responsibilities as family members. The time we spent with Christine was invaluable—it was exactly what we needed to reset and move forward. We felt supported before, during, and after our consultation, with follow-up meetings that helped us refine our approach. I truly believe we couldn’t have achieved this progress without Christine’s help. Her customized consultation process has been incredibly effective for our family.
My husband and I were struggling with our 10 year old son and his behaviour. Everything we tried would never work, our house was becoming very unsettled and stressful. Christine came highly recommended to us and she has been an absolute life saver.
We had several sessions with her to help us understand where our son was at and what we needed to say and do to put in positive boundaries.
She had just over an hour session with our son, she came out knowing more about where he was at than we ever could have. We were shocked but so relieved to know how he was feeling inside, we could then use Christine’s strategies to help reconnect with him.
She reminded us about self-love and care which was so important for our own sanity. Our experience with Christine has brought peace and calm back into our house it is amazing! Something we will be so grateful for. For any families going through challenging times with their kids behaviour I can’t recommend her high enough.
