Testimonials & Reviews

Ajreen

I wanted to thank you personally for changing my life. You have been such a blessing and I feel so grateful to have participated in this course. Your kindness, encouragement, positivity and support have really helped me become the person I am today, and I cannot thank you enough.

Jane

I would unhesitatingly recommend Shelley’s course on love which helped me better understand and attend to myself, help me see how I show up in relationships and embrace intimacy and vulnerability in the company of other like-minded souls

Mel

I found Shelley via her podcast on emotional eating, I listened to a couple of episodes and found her analysis and advice helpful and something I could relate to – so I looked her up and found that she did 121 sessions online. I was embarrassed to talk to anyone about how big this issue was in my life, but Shelley was so non-judgemental and kind, the sessions were always productive and genuinely useful. Shelley really understood how all-consuming this issue was for me and I’m so grateful for her advice and wisdom – I just wish I’d met her years ago! I’d recommend her to anyone who has a long-standing issue with emotional eating.

Liv

My therapy with Shelley showed me the journey of self-love and authenticity when I came to her with confidence issues. Her advice gave me permission to finally choose myself. Over the last year, I started speaking up for my quiet inner child and saying NO! After all these years, I haven’t looked back since.

I am so grateful to have worked with such an inspiring woman and would recommend her services. A therapist with such a vast knowledge of her study, but also warm and kind.

If you haven’t already, you should check out her Underground Confidence podcast, it’s a brilliant resource. Thank you, Shelley, for your valuable and free podcast!

Thank you Shelley! I have found the ‘Understand your Eating’ programme enlightening and empowering, as it gave me tools to deal with the problem.

Helen

This course has enabled me to take control of my eating and treat myself with care. I am enjoying the success of learning how not to overeat, and the freedom this is bringing me. Shelley led the group with understanding, humour and compassion, and is a lovely, warm person, who I felt I could trust.

Ruari

Working with Shelley on my various issues, has been truly one of the most profound experiences of my life. It’s up there with my Mum first teaching me to write my name as a small child. My inner child will be forever grateful to you for helping me to connect with him, and to gain the understanding to use equally important tools as my mum’s earliest lesson, to enrich and expand my life.

Janet

The Understanding your Eating Programme has helped my confidence, made me feel more powerful. I enjoyed the community spirit of the group and the strength I felt in working with strong women. I really enjoyed the final session about celebrating the positives in life, that is something which resonated for me.

Ali

I needed to process several years of traumatic experiences and I needed to regain some strength in myself… Your approach really helped me, I find you really warm and supportive and also really smart and insightful.

Jo

Attending Shelley’s ‘Understanding your Eating’ course was the most incredible and empowering experience that I have ever had. She really has taught me to understand my eating and I feel so free and alive!

Louise

I genuinely can’t believe how powerful the Introductory Understanding your Eating Programme has been. I feel like I’ve learnt so much about myself. I had a light bulb moment during every session. The first thing I realised was that I call myself a ‘dick’ all of the time. On the course I’ve been learning how to be kind to myself. This is the first 6 weeks in my life that I remember, that I haven’t binged! I started at such an early age! But during the course, I found my soothing strategies, how much I let everyone talk to me without asking for their support, and what a closed book I am. I’m astonished that all of this was underneath my eating, and that I now know how to take control!

Janet

Shelley brought together a group of strangers who became genuinely close companions during our sessions. I was reminded of how powerful women can be when they work together – sisters can conquer anything!

Linda

It is a privilege to talk about how coming to Shelley weekly over several years has been transformative for me. Shelley has a vast body of knowledge and approaches, and she works with compassion and no judgement. She meets you right where you are, with empathy and kindness. Through this I learned to be empathetic and kind, for the first time, to myself. When I started the counselling process I wasn’t sure what I wanted to achieve. I only knew I felt broken, sad and disconnected with a lack of joy. Now I have the power to sort my life out. The confidence, the motivation and the hope. Somehow, in the spaces between tears, laughter, silence and deep conversations, some alchemy has occurred and I can’t thank Shelley enough.

Kelly

Because of this I am able to manage my anger better, by being objective.

Karen

Thanks for helping me to make better friends with my body.

Kelly

I feel really strong about following my direction and path in life, thanks to our Therapy.

Angie

This Therapy has cut through the crap for me. Something happens in every session. What I’ve got from it is a sense of myself.

Annabel

I feel enlightened by the discovery that my inner sense can be my guide.

Susan

Staying with my emotions, becoming more in touch with my strength has saved me.

Mark

I’m amazed at how I can be in such a different place now to where I was just a few weeks ago.

Abi

Shelley gave me the support I’d needed for a very, very long time. I also got a deeper insight into how I deal with things and how to do things differently. I learnt to appreciate my strengths and what I already do well…I learnt how to look after myself better…It helped me adapt to a very limited life (due to disability).

Nicky

The time I had in counselling with Shelley was useful in exploring problems and starting to develop coping strategies.

Ryan

With Shelley I had an open comfortable environment in which I could explore the events and habits of old. This enabled me to challenge myself and my behaviours. It helped to support my state of mind through a very difficult time in my life.

Mark

I’m amazed at how I can be in such a different place now to where I was just a few weeks ago before working with Shelley
