Low Mood

Before going to see Donna, my son was anxious, had low mood and did not believe in himself at all. After just one session, I could see things had shifted and within a few weeks he was happy, confident and excited about things again. She has completely changed his attitude to life!

School Refusal/Panic Attacks/Extreme Anxiety

We were a family in desperate need of help for our 10 year old daughter with severe anxiety concerns. At her worst we could not help her have normal daily activities like going to school, days out or seeing local friends. She was withdrawn, tummy aches a regular thing with many panic attacks and tears.

We had tried all known help, doctors, school assistance, close friends etc. By chance we were referred to Donna by a previous client of hers, who was witnessing first hand an incident unfold with our daughter.

After months of being crippled socially as a family and worry for our daughter, Donna’s first session alone gave us some light, after 6 sessions we had our daughter returning back to her old self. Months on we now have a young, positive girl, who will always have scenarios arise but we all now have the tools given by Donna to handle any challenges.

Nothing today would have been possible, as a family without Donna’s professional and caring help!

Anger Management

Brilliant! Thank you for the update Donna. We have also seen a change for the better. He is so much more chilled and chatty. I know he has really felt your input and support has really helped and I'm enormously grateful. Have a lovely half term and thanks so much again.

Rebecca

Anxiety

Losing my mum had a huge impact on my anxiety, and  therefore ****'s. What you said and did with her hugely resonated with me. I've just been completely open to your approach and  found it so helpful for both of us. That's why I rave about you to everyone I speak to – you have massively impacted my mindset too! Thank you so much.

Lena

Young Adult Direction/Purpose

When I first began my sessions with Donna, I was in a place where I was feeling unmotivated and procrastinated even the simple goals I wanted to achieve. Through her relaxed and empathetic approach, I was able to gain a better understanding of various areas of my life and now have a better insight of who I am as a person. The changes I have seen in myself and after such a short amount of time have been remarkable. I have acquired healthier habits and a new mindset towards any task, big or small, that I can confidently carry with me for the rest of my life. I cannot recommend her enough!

Talking to you makes me laugh and my heart smile. You're a therapy in one gorgeous bundle! I always leave feeling so much better than when I came. Xx

Helena

Adult Lifestyle Coaching

I first knew Donna many years when she was an excellent teacher to my children. When I met her recently on the golf course, she mentioned that she had since trained as a lifecoach and I asked her to help my daughter.  My daughter was having regular "meltdowns " about career, leisure time, wasting time on her phone etc . When she started working with Donna, I saw immediate results – she gave her confidence; lots of ways to organise her leisure time;  limit her phone use; career advice etc . The progress was amazing and nearly a year later the positive  results have been long term. She is a lot happier and all because we took the plunge and asked for Donna's help. I would highly recommend her.

'Building Resilience' Workshop

Great workshop! I really like the physical handouts – they are clear and informative and give great ideas to use at home. Donna shared really relatable experience and analogies. I love the concept of the gratitude journal and can't wait to try it with my children. Thank you so much – your positiviy, confidence and passion for the subject really shone out!

Rachel

Teen Confidence

Thank you for today. ****** is enjoying the sessions sooooo much! She was saying how it is so sad she only has 5 sessions left. I refrained from reminding her that she had originally refused to go!

Lisa

Sports/Performance Anxiety

His first words – 'that was so much fun and I could be so open'. He loved it!!!!!! I can't thank you enough. He adores you and adored the session. You are amazing! 

Laura

Social Anxiety/Condfidence

Thank you so much for today Donna. ***** said you are so lovely and she can't wait to go again next week. She loved baking the cakes too, such a great way to chat in a relaxed and fun activity.

'Effects of Screens on Our Children' Workshop

What a super workshop! It was so lovely to see children from your class speaking about their screen experiences too. I think I'm a very anxious parent and tend to helicopter but your metaphor of the tree not growing strong roots and falling down, really hit home. Very powerful examples and loads to take home and implement. Thank you so much – I'd love to attend more!

Cordelia

Negative Mindset 

We've noticed a tangible difference in ******* this week. More positive, cheerful, confident, even after just one session, we are SO pleased! Every other sentence on Tuesday started with 'Donna this' or 'Donna that' – it was so sweet! She can't wait for next Monday. And this from the child who reluctantly agreed to attend only once!

Liz

Child Mindset

We are really happy and have 100% noticed an improvement. We're REALLY glad we found you – just when we had given up hope of ever finding the right help. Thank you so much. 

Gary

Severe Anxiety 

Donna has equipped my daughter with valuable tools to cope with life's challenges and her personal investment in ***** is evident. I could not recommend her highly enough and would suggest you contact her without hesitation.

Emily

Academic Performance 

Hi Donna, both girls got into their schools so thank you so much for your help. You taught them some amazing stuff and really boosted their confidence and self-belief. We can't thank you enough.

Sleep Issues

You have completely changed our lives as a family. We haven’t had a decent night’s sleep in 8 years and we are finally able to sleep for the whole night! I don’t know what you did but we will be eternally grateful to you.

Ahmed

Health Anxiety

Initially, I went to see Donna for help with my anxiety after a recent health scare. Her kind, warm and easy going manner allowed me to open up and share aspects of my life where anxiety has been a controlling force for some time. With her help and support, I now see I am in the driving seat with these feelings and I can see a much brighter future.

Rose

Visualisation for Pain Management

Donna was brilliant with my son who injured his shin bone. Her calm manner and reassuring him she would be able to help ease the pain, through doing a powerful visualisation technique, worked wonders on him. He not only felt better but began to play football again within a short amount of time and said “The pain had completely gone”.

Thank you Donna for helping him to remain calm and for him to feel better so quickly. You are brilliant and any child that comes across your path is very lucky. She will bring out the best in your child.

Indra

'Effects of Screens on Our Children' Workshop

I loved your supportive, non-judgemental and open-minded approach. It was also useful to see the statistical graphs and research stats from reputable sources. Thank you so much for such an informative, well-delivered talk. We will definitely be implementing some suggested changes at home now.

'Promoting a Positive Mindset' Workshop

What a fantastic workshop! I love the information shared and the helpful handouts with ideas to take home and use. Donna is a wonderful speaker, very warm and friendly and incredibly knowledgable. I loved listening to her real life stories and strategies to use with my children. I could tell how passionate she is about this and it shone through – I'd love to attend the next one!
