TESTIMONIALS

I have been taking sessions with Annette for 5 months now – and it has made a greatly positive change to my life. From the beginning I knew that I would need long term coaching in order to deal with my anxiety and depression, which have been on going for several years. Annette was understanding of this and she has been extremely supportive and encouraging of my journey. The sessions have helped me to solve problems in my personal as well as professional aspects of life. I am now more positive and focused on my life goals. Annette is patient, understanding and knowledgeable. I am glad to receive a coaching service from someone whom I can trust.

Annette gave me so much information which allowed me to view my children’s journey in a totally different light. I was filled with understanding about their needs, and able to learn how to help them myself instead of only relying on their seeing other professionals themselves. Thank you Annette, my sessions with you have been invaluable.

Working with Annette was a joy, challenging and very rewarding.

Gave me a much better understanding of my ADHD, what my brain was doing and how to work with it and not against it.

Her training and knowledge on this subject is amazing and he does it with compassion to you, It is not all easy, but so worth it.

I started seeing Annette after being diagnosed autistic. I have had many different types of therapy beforehand including EMDR, CBT and addiction therapy, but none of these were neuro affirming. They would help short term but ultimately I would ‘fail’ to follow through with the strategies and I would end up feeling even more broken and that it was my fault for not trying hard enough.

One of the first things Annette did was help me have the confidence to pursue an ADHD

diagnosis as well. I had so much imposter syndrome that I was just trying to find excuses. Getting this diagnosis felt like the final piece of the puzzle to understanding my mind.

After this she has helped me to understand how my brain works and then how to work with my brain, rather than fighting against it.

It was a perfect mix for me of information, practical strategies, and emotional understanding.

I feel very fortunate to have found Annette. I have recently decided to try to follow through with all I have learnt without seeing her, but will have no hesitation in returning for future sessions if I feel I need them at any point.

As a neurodivergent student mentor, Annette is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. During our sessions, we discuss various aspects of living with ADHD/autism and how to cope with them, mainly through readings, and sometimes practical tasks. Our sessions give me the space to talk about the social, emotional, and academic struggles in my life, and Annette always focuses on coming up with practical solutions to tackle these difficulties rather than letting me dwell in my own negativity. She has given me many helpful tips like focusing on my physical senses rather than my thoughts when I get overwhelmed or teaching me new concepts such as polyvagal theory to help me understand my emotional states better, and why I sometimes shut down. Since working with her, I have felt my life change immensely - I feel more hopeful than I ever did. I can say with certainty that being able to work with her has been the biggest perk of my DSA (Disabled Students’ Allowance)/autism diagnosis.

Annette has been helping me through my ADHD diagnosis for 7 months now. She is amazingly helpful - the sessions are well prepared, relevant to my needs and always delivered in an ADHD friendly manner.

She is very supportive and patient - often having to abandon the weeks session planning the assist with my latest meltdown.

Crucially I always feel better after our sessions - I feel heard and understood, more valued and less isolated than I did before. I've still got a long way to go but I couldn't do it without Annettes help and support.

I am so grateful I found Annette after being diagnosed with ADHD at 34. I can honestly say I learnt more about myself from her in 34 days than I did in my 34 years. I quickly felt comfortable talking to her and was given the space to be completely honest and my true authentic self in all our appointments, which quickly enabled me to reduce the masking I had done in everyday life without even realising. Annette has taught me helpful tools to not only manage my own ADHD traits but she has also helped be a better and more supportive Mum to my children, who also have ADHD. Thank you Annette for how much you have helped me grow since we started our sessions.

Karina

I came to Annette shortly after I was diagnosed with ADHD. Annette helped me navigate through this very challenging and confusing time and she was incredibly skilled at walking me through the process of coming to terms with my diagnosis. Her patience, understanding, compassion and authenticity always have made me feel like I’m in very safe hands and I feel able to bring my full self to our sessions as a result. Annette is highly effective because she took the time to understand me and what works for me, relying on her strong intuition and understanding of different people. My work with Annette has been absolutely transformational and provided me with so much more insight about myself and helped me be more compassionate to myself, as well as teaching me the practical tools and steps I can take to make my life better. Working with Annette has been an absolutely pleasure and I really can’t recommend her highly enough!

I've found my sessions with Annette really empowering and validating. The tools she uses help me see things from a different perspective and really enable me to approach things with more clarity. Annette makes me feel very comfortable and at ease during the sessions and I find her really easy to talk to. The structure of the sessions are well put together and the tools given has benefited me in my day to day life.
