Testimonies from clients

“I found my experience with Paula to be extremely positive. Both my children and I attended and it was a calm and reassuring space. I really connected with Paula and she significantly helped me overcome trauma and difficult life challenges. I felt heard and I received the tools to help me face the challenges I was experiencing. Highly recommended for both children and adults. 5⭐.”

“My daughter was suffering from complicated health issues, along with this she was struggling with the difficulties of adjusting to secondary school post covid and insecurities of teenage life. With her diagnosis she had a constant fear in front of her peers as this has previously resulted in bullying. She was insecure in herself and her mental health was suffering horribly. Her self confidence and her quality of life was being impacted significantly. Her attendance at school was severely affected.
The services within the health system were absolutely unfit for purpose with gas lighting leading to extended waiting lists and a total lack of support.
Devastating for my daughter and my family. As a mother I was terrified I did not know where to turn.
On my first consultation with Paula I explained to her the journey we had been on. She displayed empathy and compassion towards my daughter and we began seeing Paula for regular counselling appointments. Following 6 months of appointments Paula worked with my daughter on building skills to cope with her fears and how to confront different situations. My daughter now attends school on a full-time basis, has returned to her after school activities and has regained confidence and independence. In order to return my daughter to the health she is in today we have used different therapies to treat my daughters physical health but I am forever grateful to Paula for her impact on guiding my daughter on addressing mental health”.

“I have decided to see a psychologist after thinking for so long that I needed one, but I didn’t take the step. I was recommended to Paula, and now at this point I recommend her. I must say that I feel very comfortable talking to her, I feel that she understands every detail without judging, she gives you good tips to understand and see everything more clearly, she makes you feel like If you were talking to a friend. I totally recommend her.“

“Doing therapy with Paula has been a before and after for me. With great empathy and assertiveness, she has been able to return me to my true self, giving me the necessary tools to stay afloat during difficult times in my life and continue applying everything when the waters have calmed down. Paula has been a great guide for me in my personal and spiritual growth because her advice always accompanies me and also transcends time and era. A wonderful experience, this journey of transformation with her. I can only be forever grateful.”

“I just want to talk about the meditation sessions I did with Paula and Silvia I really enjoyed these courses so much so I think i did 5 or 6.. I found the girls to be very informed in what they were doing and very capable of explaining the whole process of meditation and they had a way of making you feel very relaxed and able to embrace the whole experience. I wish both Paula and Silvia all the best in their future works and I really look forward to meditating with them again 🧘‍♀️”

“I went searching for help. I didn’t know what to do when I realised my son was suffering mentally. It all happened so fast. I found Paula online and really liked her way of therapy and there outlook towards healing. I really felt this would suit him.
The change in a year has been amazing. He was regained confidence, has a more understanding towards mental health and is so much happier in himself.
As a mother, Paula always checked in with me, kept me informed on his progress. She was the safety blanket and reassurance we needed as a family. I really felt she cared so much and we had her support. We would not be where we are today as a family if it wasn’t for Paula”.
