Viv Burgiel - Clinical Supervisor and Line Manager Organisation Name: The Society of St James in Southampton Service: Drug & Alcohol Recovery Service in Southampton
Mirek is a man of exceptional integrity and intelligence. He is conscientious in his attention to responsibilities. Mirek wrote and delivered several psycho-therapeutic 12 week group sessions for our substance misuse clientele. His groups were very well attended for the 5 years or so, he delivered them. He is an excellent counsellor whom I have recruited to several counselling services I have established. He is one of the best staff I have had and, if I had a role for him, I would employ him today.

Dean Latona - Psychosocial Treatment Manager Organisation Name: The Society of St James in Southampton Service: Drug & Alcohol Recovery Service in Southampton
I have worked with Mirek Kudzia for over 10 years in drug and alcohol services. Mirek is an extremely knowledgeable member of staff with a wealth of experience. He is a very competent group facilitator, key worker and counsellor.
Mirek works in a thought provoking, kind way but has the ability to challenge clients if he feels they need it. Mirek is very organised, punctual and a good team player.
Mirek is someone that likes to learn and advance himself, he is constantly researching and looking at ways to improve his skills & knowledge.
I wouldn’t hesitate in employing Mirek again in the future.
CLIENTS
JACKIE 'I am writing to express my gratitude to the staff at New Road Service and in particular to ... Mirek, my counsellor.

GABI 'Great therapist!!! Just few sessions helped me to manage my stress and anxiety. Would definitely recommend'.
NORMA 'Thank you so much for helping me to process my negative feelings. You gave me an opportunity for a deeper level of healing resulting from your therapy. (...) I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing me space to see my personal impact on my relationship and truly appreciate the work we have done together. It has been a positive and quite enlightening experience. I do tend to confront life head-on, but I will take away from this a valuable lesson to use in other relationships ... Thank you so much for your honesty and sharing your thoughts with me. I truly believe in beginnings and endings and it is with mixed emotions, bittersweet, that I say goodbye but please know that I am leaving knowing and understanding that there is a healing process going on inside me and in time to come, maybe inside of Michael. Thank you Mirek I wish you all that you wish for yourself and your future'.
