Ever felt like you have fallen into a bottomless pit of despair without much hope? Like you know you are in serious trouble if you don’t seek help? Maybe you love your spouse, but you have inadvertently grown apart and or been challenged by outside influences in your marriage. Perhaps the death of a loved one as caused you to withdraw and you have found yourself in grief so heavy you can’t find your way out. Let me be the one to tell you from my own experience, there is hope. All you have to do is ask for help. These types of problems and many other life challenges are universal and there are trained professionals who can help you manage whatever adversity you might be facing. After the death of a loved one and at the brink of a divorce myself, I sought help with Sibel Guelseren of Anew Counselling. Ready to make a change I wanted to improve my life for the better – to find a way to overcome my grief and save my marriage. Like anyone, I wanted peace and happiness. I did my research. I took my time reviewing the credentials of a lot of counselors in my area and I kept coming back to Sibel. At my first session with Sibel, I felt embarrassed, overwhelmed, humiliated and filled with a strong sense of sadness. However, almost immediately I felt safe, accepted, and as though I could say anything I wanted to Sibel in confidence. It’s empowering to ask for help. Before long my spouse and I were meeting with Sibel weekly. Sibel worked with us over the next year to address our issues together. She has the ability to listen intently, assess and respond with a course of action. And there is always follow-up. If you are ready to do the work and invest the time…if you are ready to hear the truth about yourself and you follow her professional guidance you will see results. Sibel is proficient in her field of expertise, and she is patient and will work with you at your own pace. At the same time she seems to know when a nudge is needed. She is action oriented with measurable results. She will make herself available in times of need and you can count on her to tell you the truth no matter how much sometimes the truth hurts. She considers it a privilege to earn someone’s trust and conducts herself with the upmost professionalism. I wholeheartedly give Sibel my highest recommendation possible. I thought my marriage was over. If I wouldn’t have seen it for myself, I would never have believed that Sibel, or anyone for that matter, could have given us the guidance we needed to save our marriage. It is not without her guidance that my partner and I were able to re-build a broken relationship. Are you ready to do the work? I assure you, you won’t be disappointed with the services you find with Sibel Guelseren at Anew Counselling. Best regards.

I had some personal issues that needed to be addressed. I wanted someone who had a wealth of experience in counseling and the ability to offer criticism without condemning. Sibel was insightful and exact in the analysis of my behavioral issues. Her recommendations were right on point and uncomplicated to execute. Her therapy sessions are conducted in a relaxed environment that is non-threatening, yet effective, if implemented properly. I found Sibel to be compassionate, kind, respectful, well versed in her profession and honest in her analysis. My therapy sessions with me started in May and I ended them in late December. I thank her abundantly for the information she provided me in order to change my behavior and adjust my attitude in order to be a productive, well balanced, and engaged person. I enthusiastically recommend her .

I have seen Sibel for depression. She is a breath of fresh air. She helped me get in tune with me. I am so thankful to have had her, and I know that if I start to go down hill again I can see her and have someone that is understanding and compassionate. Being there is like you are with family.

I am so thankful and blessed that I was pointed in Sibel's direction. There is no doubt the sessions with her have changed my life. At every session, I knew she was in my corner and having her there was so very important to my outcome. From my first visit until my last, Sibel and her staff were so supported and ensured my needs were being met. Thank you Sibel.
