I've now had a good couple of weeks to settle after our last session, so I feel there's been enough time to see the effects and write a review - and to thank you.

I have suffered with dreadful trauma related symptoms for 7 years.  Those symptoms have had a serious affect on my health, body, relationships and life.  Looking back, I realise that I had also suffered for 20 years before that, I have tried so many things to help myself.  Counselling, CBT, furious exercise, running, supplements, anti depressants (which I didn't actually need as I wasn't depressed).

Certainly as a result of the things I did for myself I did see some improvements and have a thorough understanding of why my body was behaving as it was.  Nonetheless the symptoms persisted.  My nervous system was dysregulated and nothing I seemed to do could restore it.  I had resigned myself to being permanently 'broken'.

I took a chance on therapy with Paula and if I'm honest had a degree of scepticism about what it might entail and whether it would work.

Three sessions later I take it back.  I genuinely feel like the last vestiges of trauma I had choked back inside me for years have finally been released.  I am calm, settled, at ease.  I feel normal again  I had entirely forgotten what that was like.  I have a normal startle response.  I have been exposed to several of my previous triggers and had a completely inconsequential response to them.  That has been a revelation.  I sleep better.  I feel bright, positive, able to cope, rational. I have no compulsion to over eat to stuff back feelings, to drink alcohol to anaesthetise myself from stress, to exercise furiously as punishment for perceived weakness.  I speak to myself with the kind voice I have always used for others but never myself.

My family have noticed the transformation and we all feel so relieved that nobody needs to worry about me any more.  I did it for them and for myself and it was the best investment I have made.  Long may this last! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Paula is amazing. She has given me the tools to forgive myself and to feel so much better about living in my own skin. In just three sessions Paula has dug out the guilt and the pain that I had been carrying for so many years. She has helped me to say Goodbye to the past and to feel positive about my future. I'm now living in today. I could not have done this without Paula, she is a miracle worker.  Thank you again Paula...you really do do incredible work.

Paula worked with my sone who had been having issues with sleeping and some behavioural issues. These were negatively impacting on his attendance at attention at school. Paula introduced him to his Superpowers which gave himtools to become more relaxed. Enabling him to get some good rest so he was alert and engaged at school, using his ‘learning’ Superpower. She recorded a relaxation download which he still uses when he is a bit anxious and it works like a dream for him, and I sometimes use it too. Paula has a soothing voice and just seems to get where my son is coming from totally. Thank you for all you’ve done.
