Having coaching from Yvonne, and only for a short period of time, has helped be tremendously. She has enabled me to see a different perspective on my life to date and the achievements I have made. And, importantly looking to the future to what else I want to achieve in the coming years. I am not talking about a ‘Bucket List’, but focusing on the way in which I will be treasuring my life, my family and my friends, to ensure that I live my life to the full.

The techniques used by Yvonne are easy to understand and effective to make important changes:

• reducing distress caused by events from the past
• having private honest conversations in my head
• reducing worry
• making a Journal

……I could go on!

I would highly recommend Yvonne to anyone who wants to make positive changes in their life, and more importantly making it happen!

Thank you Yvonne

I have worked with Yvonne before and when she suggested I do the group coaching I didn’t know what to expect.

What I didn’t expect were the results.

The simple approach, the tools and knowing because I was in a group I wasn’t alone. I am so focused in such a positive way. I now make good decisions confidently. I keep being constantly  amazed at what I got out of those 4 weeks of investment. A gift to me that keeps on giving.

Thank you Yvonne. x

I contacted Yvonne as I felt my confidence (or lack of) was holding me back, we had an informal chat about how I was feeling and how she may be able to help me. We decided to give time line therapy a go, I’d never heard of it before and had no idea what to expect but I approached the session with an open mind. Yvonne put me at ease as soon as I arrived and I felt in safe hands from start to finish. It’s difficult to describe what happened in the session but emotions I’ve clearly bottled up for some time came to the surface and Yvonne helped me face and overcome them. It was like flicking a switch in the way my mind looked at things and this has continued since our session. My anxiety levels have decreased, my relationships have massively improved, I feel more willing to give new things a try and I feel happier in myself. Generally we’re willing to spend money on a new dress or a weekend away but this was all about investing in me and it was money very well spent.  I wouldn’t hesitate in recommend Yvonne.

I was struggling with my confidence and self esteem.
I had a few sessions with Yvonne who provided homework to do in between each session. I now feel able to take on the challenges I was avoiding. Yvonne is really friendly and approachable and listened to how I was feeling at the start of each session. She was able to clarify so much for me regarding what was going on in my head and give me the tools to tackle issues going forward. Highly recommend.

I attended Yvonne’s 4-week group coaching workshop as I wanted to make some changes. Yvonne has extensive knowledge about how our minds work and why we sometimes feel as we do. I left the workshop with a better understanding of myself, what was holding me back and what I could do about it.

I liked working in a group and felt supported by those around me, it was nice to know that I was not the only one feeling as I did. We had a follow up call to see how we are all getting on and Yvonne continues to support me as I challenge myself. I have seen results in my work like and unexpectedly in my personal life, taking on new challenges with a quiet confidence and sense of excitement rather than the fear that crippled me before. I cannot thank Yvonne enough for all the help and support she has given and continues to give me.

Yvonne has been amazing in changing my mindset and helping me to get past some mental blocks that I have been carrying for a long time. Yvonne puts you at ease right away, which gave me the chance to relax and really pick up on the mind-set patterns and reasons why I do things. Since the sessions, I have totally changed my way of thinking and feel a lot more in control and calmer.

I had never in my life imagined I would see a therapist or even make use of their services. I used to think this was always for other people – not me.  People who went through difficulties that I did not think I faced.  I always relied on myself, my own self-therapy and making my own decisions.  These were sometimes the wrong ones.  This I knew was normal.

However, I reached a point in my life at fifty years of age, where I started to question some things in my life.  My marriage, my choices, my inner peace, my spirituality.  I spoke to few friends and one suggested I see a therapist. 

Through word of mouth recommendations and with lots of fear and uncertainty, I met with Yvonne. Within minutes of our first meeting, I felt at ease. I felt heard but most importantly I felt safe.  Safe enough to speak to a stranger who gently dug deep and helped me address my situation. I needed tissues. Yvonne left me to speak and she listened while taking short notes.  There was no judgement, just space to be, to simply be and say whatever I felt like saying and then embrace whatever feelings were coming to the surface.  Yvonne helped me create a picture of my future, of what I wanted in my life and helped me understand that I deserved the best for myself and only I could take that step.  With the use of the ‘colour’ and ‘pulling at the ribbon’ technique, I started to feel a deep but positive difference almost like a shift in weight.  It was not as easy as it may sound.  Yvonne gave me some homework, tough but necessary homework. I left thinking to myself ‘I can’t do this – there is NO WAY I can do.’  Yvonne must have felt this because she offered to stay in touch by text or email and remained open to supporting me, while I experienced the difficult emotions and decisions I had to make.

With her support, time and a lot of thought processing I made some of the biggest and best decisions in my life – for me – and I have never looked back.  Yvonne’s support does not stop with just the initial, second, or third visit, it continues throughout for as long as one needs it.

I loved that Yvonne mentioned that she practices something like ‘rapid’ therapy and from what I understood; it meant that she does not require loads of visits to find the underlying cause of the issues.  Once it is clear, one is ready to move on. It may require just one or two visits to make a positive difference in one’s life.  I know that I can reach her whenever I need, in order to make use of those swift, clear and progressive techniques she uses to help a person take ownership and make the best use of the one shot we all get – LIFE
