Feedback

"Elena was respectful and kind.
Her approach was simple and she enabled me to see how I could find a solution.
I would recommend her to others."
- Anna

"After enduring several family traumas over the years I thought I was mentally stronger than most people going through these experiences.
However, I was severely shocked when a few months ago some further unexpected news reduced my mental equilibrium quite dramatically.
After briefing Elena we proceeded to analyse the issues using clear valid reasoning which has now given me in a much stabler frame of mind for the future."
- Stephen

"When I first started to see Elena, I felt completely lost and unsure if I even could be helped.
She quickly made me feel comforted and confident that we would reach a happier me and we have.
I have found my self-worth again, I can notice patterns that lead to me feeling low and stop them before they start, I am able to notice day to day my achievements no matter how small and I have learnt how to change these destructive patterns without feeling like I’ve lost my identity, but realising I’m still me, just happier.
I’ve come so far because of Elena and I can’t recommend her enough, she has a huge range of knowledge and skills and you can tell she is expert at catering these skills to each personality.
She brings back your hope."
- Suzanne

"I found Elena easy to talk to;
she seemed to understand my personal problems and adapted her approach to my needs.
I achieved my goals and I would use her services if I needed support."
