"I instantly built a rapport with Deirdre who has been on a journey with me through many life milestones and periods of grief. The support and counselling offered has been second to none and I am a better person for it. I don't think I would have been able to navigate such periods in my life but for the outlet that Fresh Pathway provided. I continue my sessions with Deirdre to this day and can only recommend the services of Fresh Pathway to anyone wishing to start that journey."

"I became a client of Deirdre's almost a year ago and from the very first session I had with her she was able to help me understand and practice new perspectives. Deirdre's calm, understanding and non-judgmental approach to therapy has totally changed my life and way of thinking. I have learned from Deirdre many tools including breathing techniques, how to accept and process feelings/emotions and methods to help anxious and negative thoughts. Deirdre has also helped me navigate many personal, professional, family and friendship challenges over the past year that I will be forever appreciate and grateful for, and feel confident overcoming any future obstacles thanks to the tools I have gained. I would highly recommend Deirdre to anyone who is seeking support through therapy. "

"We cannot speak highly enough of Farrah and the incredible impact she has had on our 8-year-old son, who has ADHD. After just six sessions of play therapy, we’ve seen such noticeable and positive changes in him — not only in his ability to manage his emotions and focus, but also in his confidence and overall happiness. Farrah creates a warm, safe, and engaging environment where our son feels truly seen and understood. Her compassionate approach and deep understanding of child development and ADHD have made all the difference. He looks forward to each session, and as parents, we feel so supported and encouraged by her insights and guidance. We are so grateful for the progress we've seen and would wholeheartedly recommend Farrah to any family looking for a skilled and caring play therapist."
