Thank you for today’s session. Every session is meaningful, but today’s session was very special to me. It’s incredible how I walked into the session flustered that I was late, but more burdened with the happenings in my life, then left the session feeling happy - like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.
Since I started counselling with you, I always wanted an easy fix and was hoping you would fix my problems. I have come to realize it is not an easy fix. It’s up to me to make those necessary changes in my life and you are the facilitator. Words can’t express my gratitude to you for your expertise, guidance, and support through this very challenging time in my life.
I don’t think I could have taken the steps to make the shifts in my life if it wasn’t for your help. I was extremely touched to see how elated you were that I was making these shifts. I know that I still have a lot of work to get to the place I hope to be, but I really appreciated your praise and encouragement.
This ordeal has been very hard for me, but God is looking after me and has sent me some angels – you are one of them! Anonymous, Stouffville, ON

"I am very appreciative of what you did for my son and I at our last session. It is apparent that you care about us and wanted to make sure that we were in a good place before we left you – and we were.
Going into that session, I felt quite disillusioned with my relationship with my son (age 10), but on leaving, I felt a great sense of hope on how I can fix it. The next day, he had another blowup at home, but it was not bad at all. I thought of what you had told me and I doused the fire with water this time. The situation was diffused very quickly.
We spoke about his negative thinking and I think some of it may have come from me. One of many things I’m learning since my separation is to look at the blessings in my life – I do have many. I must reiterate what I told you before – that finding you is one of those blessings. You have a gift for what you do and I am so grateful that you are able to share your gift with my son and I.
This is just a heart-felt thank you for the help you are providing to us." Anonymous, Pickering, ON

"It has been just shy of a year that we met and had our first session. I think of you often and keep our conversations front of mind at all times. I want to let you know that since our last session and for the past year since we met, I have not acted out and have remained sober. My job performance has improved and your prediction that one day I would be truly happy, has come true. I still wrestle with my darkness on occasion but it is well within my ability to do so. The lessons you taught me and the insight you provided into my soul has transformed me into a much better, healthy and happy person. I want to say thank you. You literally saved my life."

“This has been the best counselling I have experienced. The counsellor got right to the issues and was incredibly helpful in assisting me to understand and cope with what was happening. On going sessions helped me to develop strategies to use in similar situation in the future. I have no hesitation to call this counsellor in the future should the need arise. I have not found any other counsellor to be as helpful.” Anonymous, Markham, ON

"During a client meeting the contact person told me that recently her son saw John Schurmann and that he was amazing. She says that her son literally transformed into a different person as a result of the counselling - clear on his priorities and directing activities accordingly; motivated; respectful and contributing to the family; happy. She went on and on about how fabulous his counselling experience was. I wanted to pass this on to you to share with John." Anonymous, Guelph, ON

“I saw my physician yesterday and mentioned that you are my "life coach". He asked me to be sure to pass along to you that you are doing a "fantastic" job. He is very impressed with the tools you have taught me and your guidance. It is a very strong reflection of the gratitude I also have for your help.” Anonymous, Ajax, ON

“Before I saw John, I was seeing a doctor for counselling sessions. Honestly, I was not making any progress at all. When I came to see John Schurmann, I felt he listened to my problems first, he understood, and then he advised/guided me to solve the problems. He did not rush me into anything. He was taking it slowly and at my pace. I highly recommend that John be used more often with other clients. I too have recommended a friend to come and see him. Thank you for all your support.” Anonymous, Stouffville, ON

Meeting John and being his client for over a year, I can truly say that it was a life saving as well as a life altering experience. John genuinely cares about each and everyone of his clients, and you can easily tell this by the sincerity of his demeanor, and the constant eye contact he keeps with you. Furthermore, what Counselor gives you a warm embrace at the end of a session when he perceives that you need one? John does that without hesitation, and may God bless him for all his kindness and caring for others!
