Testimonials

"I first met Kim when I attended a ‘Parenting Class'. I was encouraged to meet with her on a 1:1 basis to talk through some personal issues that were affecting my everyday happiness. From day one, Kim encouraged me to speak openly about my thoughts and feelings. She set me weekly tasks and exercises which I undertook in between our weekly meetings. These tasks included identifying events from my past which were causing me to behave in a negative way, writing letters to people who were pivotal in my development, learning to concentrate on pleasing myself etc. Now that I have completed my journey, I have much higher self esteem, I am starting up my own business, and I am so much happier in myself and with my life. It is an understatement to say that Kim has changed my life for the better – thank goodness I met her! I would recommend Kim to anyone who is not happy with where their life is taking them at this time."

"I was recommended Kim by a friend who had attended one of her work shop's on Self worth. I felt very nervous and almost backed out at the last minute. I was having a hard time at work and felt bullied and put upon. We arranged a one to one and on that first session Kim asked me to name 10 things I liked about myself. I couldn't even manage to name to 3. Three sessions later and I can name 30. Kim was inspirational and full of life she gave me set pieces of work to do and for the first time in my life I focused on me. Thank you so much for giving me back my life."

"After attending a Parenting Workshop my family life has changed for the better. I was struggling with my teenage son and Kim offered family mediation for my teenage son and myself. In these sessions I found out that he had got in with a wrong crowd and had experimented with drugs and was stealing money from my purse. Kim taught me how to communicate in a way that I had never considered before. My son really enjoyed our sessions with Kim and our relationship has gone from strength to strength. Thank you so much."

"When I first met Kim I was in a real state. I cried all the time and was finding it hard to function. I had a child of 5yrs and my life was falling apart in front of me. My mother had died two years previously and although we didn't get on very well the guilt was really affecting my way of life. I was comfort eating and I had gained three stone in weight. I was finding it hard to sleep and was drinking far to much. Over the following session's with Kim she helped me first to understand that I was normal and I was not losing my mind and secondly Kim helped me to accept what had happened. Kim taught me to focus on things that I could change and ways to deal with negative thoughts. I was so wrapped up in my guilt I did not see the good things around me like my son. Things are very different now I look forward to getting up and facing the day ahead of me. I have enrolled in an evening class and I am looking at going back to College. I walk my dog for an hour a day and I am really enjoying watching my son grow up. I am eating healthy foods and have stopped drinking. Kim was inspirational and a great motivator she also made sense of what is a chaotic world out there. I cannot thank you enough."

"I came across Kim quite by chance and I have not looked back since. I attended one of her talks on self worth in place of a friend who could not make it. As a child I had been sexually abused but I had never spoken about it to anyone. I had always felt that I just existed in life and could not really feel it. I was inspired by some of the things mentioned in Kim's talk and felt that I would like to find out a bit more about her workshops. When I got to speak to Kim I just burst in to tears. She smiled and took me into a side room where I found I was telling her my whole life story. She assured me that it was often the case after one of her talks. Since that day my life has completely changed I can now trust again. I have accepted what happened to me and I have been able to let it go. I have refocused all my energy on to positive things. I have more energy; I can sleep without nightmares and have been able to tell my husband and my parents what happened to me. I feel that I have shed a skin and I am looking forward to whatever life has to offer me. Kim gave me a tool kit for life and I am not scared anymore. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"Kim helped me accept my illness and showed me great compassion. Kim was the first person to ask me what I wanted and how I wanted things to be handled. Kim gave me back control of my life. She taught me that although I only had a short time left I could make every day matter. She brought lots of laughter and inspired me to think things through and to have fun. When I was down she just listened and she never felt sorry for me. She laughed with me and cried with me. She helped me sort things out that were difficult for the family. But the biggest thing of all was she helped me to let go of things I couldn't change and to put all my focus on things I could."

"I had already been to relate with my wife and found it a complete waste of time. My wife had heard of Kim through the grapevine and wanted to give it a go. I was not very happy and felt we were going over old ground and a complete waste of time. Our first session was a complete nightmare and we ended up having a massive row. This was not Kim's fault as I was being a pain and totally disinterested. We were given homework to do and I was feeling fed up and really couldn't be bothered. The next few days were tough and I started to reflect on a few things Kim had said in the session. It suddenly started to make sense. I did the homework and felt myself talking more to my wife and discussing the session. I even apologized for my bad behaviour at the session (not like me I am really stubborn and wont admit when I'm in the wrong) the second session was a lot better and again it was like a light bulb was switched on and it was all making perfect sense to me. There were definitely things missing in our relationship and though painful with the help of Kim we were able to put them right. Our relationship has gone from strength to strength. We spend quality time together and quality time apart. I feel so much happier and also remembered why we got married in the first place. On Our last session with Kim we got to write our own marriage vows. Many thanks"

"Kim made the parenting sessions on Teenagers light hearted and amusing. This was quite a distressing time for us. I felt every-one would look at us as if we were bad parents. We quickly realised that all the parents in the room were all in the same boat as us. The workbooks were great too my husband read his from cover to cover on the first night. A great way to meet other parents and share experiences. We are not alone."
