Testimonials

I have been privileged to have found Catherine through a family friend and am indebted to her for the support she has given me. Her knowledge, skills and experience are undoubted and have been confirmed through her interactions with me. She has a range of tools and experiences on which to draw, many of which have helped me understand what is going on
and how to overcome it.

I have benefited from all of our sessions. The following are the keys to my improvements after having worked with Catherine:

1. Catherine’s recognition that I probably have Bipolar 2 and subsequently having that confirmed by a Consultant Psychiatrist
2. The expressions of gratitude which Catherine suggested I document each morning in a set of spreadsheets she provides. That has completely changed my mindset to being extremely positive. Now, I am not thinking about gratitude just in the morning but throughout the day. That keeps my mood level up.
3. I have found it really helpful to monitor mood and sleep every day, not least to demonstrate to myself how improvement has occurred overtime.
4. I have also benefited by monitoring daily events. In so doing it is clear to see the links between events, sleep patterns and mood.
5. Catherine’s understanding of how the brain/mind works and how it drives the physical feeling has been very helpful for me. Too many counsellors/coaches I have worked with in the past have suggested actions (things to try) without describing why the action may be beneficial. I have to understand not just what to do, but why it should be done to be committed to trying that action.
6. I have proven to myself that the expression ‘mind over matter’ really does have a place and that by engaging the mind

I have worked with Catherine online. I have never met her face-to-face but I am of the opinion that through the online approach there has been no negative impact on Catherine’s ability to provide a top-quality service nor indeed the quality of coaching I have received to improve my well-being.

I have been suffering for 8 years with my condition declining year on year to the point where for the year from Aug 2021 I was almost completely debilitated. Since meeting Catherine, my energy levels have improved significantly. I now find I am in a
position where I have a set of tools which are proven to me, and I can use on an as-needed basis to maintain the level which I have now reached. The level is not perfect but it is very manageable and I am sure will continue to improve as I practice the techniques I have learned and my overall fitness levels improve after many years of highly limited activity. I highly recommend Catherine and thank her sincerely for all she has done to make me feel ‘real’ again.
