I was fairly desperate when I first came to see you. Unfortunately I was unable to make any sense of my thoughts or actions. Having considered our meetings, I don't think I could have chosen anybody better in my circumstances. You were professional at all times yet still remained friendly and likeable throughout, not something which many people would find easy in your position. You didn't judge me either. 

In short, I just wanted to say thanks. I don't want to be so dramatic as to say you saved my life, but you have certainly had a profound effect on me and for that I will always be grateful. 

I hope our paths cross again in the future!
