Case Study: Rosemary

When life takes an unexpected turn, finding the right support can make all the difference.

Rosemary* reached out to our Mind Wellness Team via email.

In person, Rosemary presented as a well-groomed and wellspoken lady who is at the top of her career. But due to domestic violence and a breakdown, had found herself destitute with 2 children to support.

Rosemary, having managed to move into a rental property with her 2 children, was desperately needing financial assistance and emotional support.

Despite Rosemary’s impressive education, Rosemary had lost hope and confidence in herself.

Once the therapeutic connection with with our counsellor was made, and through appropriate counselling strategies, Rosemary began to believe in herself and her capacity, as she observed, “to pick up my life and enjoy my beautiful children again”.

What made this possible? A person-centred approach aimed at treating Rosemary with dignity and respect, allowing Rosemary to become the key person in her own growth and psychosocial progress.

Rosemary has now embarked on a new career as well as ‘healthy relationships’ with newly founded friends and enjoying quality time with her children.

Rosemary said the regular support and respectful approach made a difference at a very crucial time in her life and she is grateful for the assistance that she received.
