ESTEEM TESTIMONIALS

“The Job Centre put me in touch with Andrew as he did a talk there. Andrew sees me once a week. He has helped me more than anyone I have seen and he knows what I am going through. He has helped me no end. I would recommend ESTEEM to everyone who has experienced abuse in their life. Andrew is very supportive and kind and encourages me to move on with my life. I am so grateful to Andrew for his wonderful help.”

 

Why did you call ESTEEM? 
“I was being abused by my partner”
How did the service help you?
“Gave me the confidence and the reassurance I needed”
How useful was the service?
“One word ‘fantastic’”
Would you recommend ESTEEM?
“Absolutely yes”

 

“I called ESTEEM in complete desperation. I’m a single Dad (11 years) and my 18 year old son was constantly blasting out his music and smoking pot in our 2 bedroom council flat. I was getting lots of complaints from the private flat upstairs and the stress of all this made me so ill (I.B.S) I was admitted to hospital several times. The more I told my son and his mates to keep it down, the more aggressive he got. He started beating me up. I had some very nasty head injuries.
I learned from ESTEEM how to deal with the violence and from then on things started to improve quite quickly.
The 24 hour helpline was crucial in this very difficult and upsetting time. I’m so grateful to ESTEEM for the excellent support and would recommend them to anyone with domestic troubles.”

 

Why did you call ESTEEM? 
“Because the Police recommended that we should”
How did the service help you?
“When the son you love, who has had everything you can afford to provide for him, hits out at you from out of the blue causing severe injury, it comes as a terrible shock
How useful was the service?
“ESTEEM went out of their way to help us to restore an emotional balance”
Would you recommend ESTEEM?
“Yes I would recommend ESTEEM to anyone with a similar problem. The Police who recommended it to me considered it to be very worthwhile

 

“ESTEEM contacted me following a recommendation from the Police.
The service helped me by being an intermediary between me and the Police.
The service has been useful because it appears to be the answer to a problem I have had for 6 years. I have tried to get help from a solicitor, a local councillor, an MP and the Citizens Advice Bureau but nothing that has been tried so far seems to have worked.
I would recommend ESTEEM.”
