CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
I was quite surprised how quickly we addressed many issues and separated the areas of difficulty…. I feel my most effective results have been releasing past paternal issues. This has reduced my general level of anger and reaction and I find myself communicating more effectively in general……. I have enjoyed Dr. Kaliaden’s relaxed and kind manner which have been imperative for me to build trust. He has been systematic and given me continued positive reinforcement and support. We have shared humour, which has helped alleviate stress and I have looked forward immensely to the sessions….. I must thank Dr Kaliaden for providing a psychological service in Dubai, where it is often difficult to find comparable “western” standard support services. To have this available at such high professional standing in Dr Kaliaden is indeed commendable. With thanks for supporting those of us in The Gulf who truly appreciate this.
