'I very much enjoyed the 1-1 courses and felt that you put things over very well. Learned to understand myself and realised that we are all equal and all have valuable inputs. Having 1-1 coaching really helped and gave time to dedicate to individual needs. It has also been useful to better understand others.'

'Firstly I'd like to say that after my initial reticence at the thought of spending several half day periods with a lady of whom I knew nothing and had not previously met, I was very surprised and pleased to find someone with whom I felt I could communicate with, with great ease. And with somebody who was able and prepared to listen and understand. As well as finding our time together very interesting and informative, particularly in the field of personality characteristics, I found the whole experience very rewarding. As a result of being exposed to the ideas and experiences put forward by and explained by you, I feel better able to see, understand, and cope with and make positive use of both my own strengths and those of the people around me. Finally I would like to finish by saying how much I greatly value and appreciate the honesty and understanding you have shown me and my deputy.'
GH, Manager

'I've used Hara, my timeline and the power circle a good few times since I saw you and I've found them really effective! The box and balloon were an excellent touch. I almost skipped back to my car and two different old boys wished me a happy birthday - it felt great!'
SARA SHERRIF

'Since Sara came back from seeing you, she has become amazingly more dynamic and confident and generally a lovely person to be around. Thanks for the work you did with her.'
MICHAEL HOLNESS

'I just wanted to say a big thank you for the help and guidance you gave me. I remembered how you showed me a way to forgive my father for everything that happened in the past and to let go, and to be able to remember him with love. This was a really big help and comfort to me. Thank you! Thanks also for the inspirational messages you sent me. I look at them frequently. You're a star!

'Thank you for helping me to shine!' SOPHIE MICHELL, Channel 4

'Just to let you know that I recently went to Florida on holiday and did all the driving for two weeks! A lot of the time it was 3 lane driving - a motorway!! Pleased to say I managed fine, no panic attacks and on return to England went on the motorway and overtook a lorry!! My son Oliver, (10) was very impressed. Really pleased, I feel more positive every time I do it. Thanks for all your help.'
MARGARET FIELDS

'Without this I would have found it difficult to go through the court experience, which would have meant that my attacker would have got away with the crime. Thank you for the courage and confidence.'

'I want you to know how much it meant to me. I was on the verge of seeing my doctor for clinical depression. Somehow it all came together at the right time for me to take notice and let it change my attitude and my life for the better ... I woke up the next morning a new person. I have been a ball of bubbling joy ever since. I learned that every moment that passes is gone forever and I will never get the chance to re-live it a better way. To make my life meaningful, I have to be happy with me as I am and accept that I have a right to be the way I am. I shouldn't be so afraid of saying the wrong things that I say nothing at all. I shouldn't be so afraid of consequences that I do nothing at all. If I take a risk, then maybe my life will get even better. I have learned that I possess everything I need to be happy now - I don't need to wait until other people treat me better or until circumstances dictate. My happiness is a state of mind; happiness is an attitude, an outlook and no-one can make me truly happy except me. I have learned that if I am happy, then I am better placed to make the people I love happy. I have learned that people may say hurtful things, but that doesn't mean it's the truth - their words can only hurt me if I believe it's the truth and fail to realise that sometimes people try to feed their ego by stealing a bit of my precious spirit. I have learned that I am loved and not just accepted because I co-exist with others. I am valued for who I am, what I am, the way I am. I should not be afraid of doing my best and letting people know what I do well....Most importantly, I have learned to be unafraid of the future. I am not a victim. Any pain I may have suffered has made me strong, enriched my personality, and made me more understanding, wise. It has taught me to appreciate the good things in my life and to make the present a really good place to be. I know I've only just started this journey. I have more to learn, more to do. But for now, I feel unshackled, liberated. I feel as if a ball of joy lives in the centre of my chest. I can feel it bubbling, flowing. It's in my throat and in my mouth. I feel like laughing! It lights up my entire being and makes me feel like dancing. The one word I keep using is 'irrepressible'. 'Irrepressible' is my theme song! I feel physically different. I even noticed that I walk differently. Believe it or not, I think I strut (in a totally non-arrogant, non-pompous way of course!) - hips forward and striding. My shoulders are straighter. My back is upright. My head is higher. Kath I love you for the way you are and for helping me to discover me. Over the last 18 months I had been slowly finding myself. But you set ablaze a torch I had only begun to spark. I wanted you to know that you triggered something wonderful in my. You touched my life in a deeply significant way, and if only for that, you will hold a special place in my heart.'
