Vanya gave me helpful exercises that allowed me to gain perspective and analyse my situation further, which allowed me to gain some much needed clarity on my situation. It was incredibly helpful to have her insight and encouragement as she helped me towards my goals. She is kind, patient and empathetic, and she's a fantastic listener. She left me feeling understood, empathised with me, and was able to convey ideas in a way I could understand. She's incredibly adaptable in her approach, always ready to switch things up and change course depending on how I was progressing. It was time well spent, highly productive, and left me in a better position than where I started."

Super grateful, highly recommended, if you're looking for skilful, safe support!"
