Case Histories

Client A - a young successful woman had a goal to be in a successful relationship within one month. 

We worked together for two months.  During this time, we worked on the client's values, what her ideal relationship looks like, qualities in her ideal partner, how to meet such a person etc. Using tools such as visualisation, mind mapping and reflection, Client A realised her timeline for her goal was unrealistic and she was able to reappraise her goal.  In time, with less pressure, she was able to meet someone suitable in a more relaxed way and remove time pressures of having children. 

Client B - a shy, successful man in his 50s who had been single for many years, wanted to meet someone and was using a dating app for the first time.  They matched with someone but were intimidated by the match's confidence and outgoing personality. 

In our sessions, we talked about the client's view of themselves, their expectations and their fears.  We looked at limiting beliefs and the self-critic, enabling the client to realise that, despite their fears, they could take a chance and meet the match without seeing it as a huge, risk taking decision.  They were able to also see that they were attractive and had qualities worth exploring.

Client C - a mid-life entreupeneur with anxiety and challenges around her business growth.  

In our conversations, it was evident that her self-critic was very vocal and and my client used a lot of negative language when talking to herself.  Using compassion and reflection, she was able to notice these unhelpful habits which were holding her back personally and in her business, and she was able to move forward with more self-belief and take advantages of oppportunities she previously lacked the confidence to do.

Client D - fledging entreneneur struggling with direction 

My client was at the beginning stages of her business but couldn't see a way forward and was also working full time in a stressful job.  In one conversation, she was able to see that she was lacking self-compassion and this, as well as some mindfulness, gave her the space to take things slowly and stop putting pressure on herself.  At the end of the conversation, she was able to think more clearly and come up with a plan.
