What Our Clients Say about DACA
I feel I have much better coping mechanisms today which I didn’t have a few years ago, I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.

I never thought I could ever achieve these results in such a short space of time. I am totally amazed that after only eight counselling sessions, I feel so well, I have more energy and I can actually concentrate for the first time in years.

Male Counselling Client
I am eight years sober next week, I don’t know what I would have done without this place.
Male Counselling Client
Coming here has given me the ability to care about others which I couldn’t do before. It has made such a difference to my life, I sleep well at night now, my head isn’t cluttered. Even when I do get down, I know what I need to do and I don’t need to drink.
Female Counselling Client
I’m stronger since coming here, I have a life now whereas I was scared I had nobody to turn to before.
Male Counselling Client
My way of thinking is a lot more positive and a lot more rational than it was before. Counselling has set my mind at ease and prevented me from relapsing.
Male Counselling Client
In the society of today it is not always the case that you find respect shown to you, but I was given that in abundance when I walked through the door at DACA and met my counsellor.
Male Counselling Client
I just want you to know how life changing counselling has been for me.
