A special kind of testimonial by a Stalking Awareness Delegate

A long and heart-felt testimonial, that we were not able to fit completely in it's intended space, so we wanted to share it here.

I came across Paladin by accident when my friend discussed my problems with the domestic abuse lead within the hospital where she works after seeing how distressed I was by the constant trauma the perpetrator caused in mine, my children's, families and friends lives.

I was desperate for someone to help me after almost 4 years (more if you include the years I tried to separate from him) of harassment.
Prior to this I had worked with a number of professionals including children's services, domestic abuse hub, the police and I even had a link worker to the perpetrators probation officer all of whom tried to advice however none were able to move my case forward to achieve the outcome which I have achieved with paladin.

I really was ready to give up in January 2020 and accept that this was my life forever until I found paladin.

I know that no one can guarantee that I will have no-more problems from the perpetrator however I feel so much more protected having ****** supporting myself and coordinating the professionals involved in my case. I also know that, god forbid if I need again there intervention again there is a service out there to support me.
***** is so knowledgeable in her field and understood something, that none of the other professionals appeared to, about how I felt on the receiving end and frustrations I had at times with some of the professionals. She listened to everything I said compassionately and never once judged me, she coordinated my case and asked questions to those in higher places that I would never have been able to reach ensuring my case was fully reviewed with the police.

Paladin advocated for me for over a year, she was so skilled within the support I needed and absolutely fought my case.

I will be forever grateful to both paladin and ****** for the absolute exceptional service I received and wherever and whenever I can will continue to support you're service.
