Testimonials
“Having a twice-exceptional child—gifted with ADHD—was overwhelming for me, and I sought help from Ms. Wang. Over the course of 10 counseling sessions, Ms. Wang provided invaluable guidance that helped me better understand my son and tackle our specific challenges. We worked on practical solutions for issues like chronic tardiness to school, improving communication with my child, and understanding the Dutch school system, including interactions with teachers and support organizations.
Ms. Wang also noticed the emotional struggles of my elder son during this critical period, jeopardizing his high school graduation. Her support encouraged us to reflect on our own behavior, learn to trust our son, avoid conflict, and step back when needed. Shortly after that my elder son has successfully graduated and is now pursuing his dream degree at university. We’re deeply grateful to Ms. Wang for walking this journey with us.”

"I, a full-time mother, occupied with household chores, the elderlycare , children nurture. However, these efforts often go unrecognized by those close to me. Instead, elders criticize me for lacking financial independence, which weighs heavily on my spirit, leaving me unable to find joy in life.
I cannot share this pain with my family, turning to friends for solace instead. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to talk with Coach Lei. She guided me to explore my innermost needs without judgment, allowing me to unravel my thoughts and break free from my usual mindset, helping me seeing other possibilities for eventually finding happiness again."
