Client Testimonials and Experiences
Here, we present heartfelt testimonials from individuals who found relief and justice through Svena’s dedicated Trauma-Informed Coaching Services.
“Ms Surmann helped me through many difficult moments during my divorce and the court case until I felt better again. She is a reliable rock for me; without her, I would not be where I am today.”
Vera Hoffman
Hagued Mum Survivo
“Ms Surmann has been advising, supporting and coaching me for several years now. She is always a great help in life crises and advice on acute issues during my personal journey of development in life. She’s infinitely patient and understanding, but also courageous in speaking the truth, precisely to take away the fear which had led to great progress in my life. I feel listened to noticed and accepted at all times.”
Annika Sch.
Hagued Mum Survivor
“In an international court case regarding the Hague Convention against me, Ms Surmann is by my side. Thanks to her experience, she can cope when things are not immediately ‘all right again’. She is still there even when things may never be right again. She can bear my pain, understand it, and sometimes a small light, a spark in the form of a few of her sentences, is enough to keep going.”
