Soothed stress
Psychosynthesis counselling with Alison, Essex, UK
I worked with Alison, from Essex, face to face in Witham, then online and again online years later. Here’s what she has to say about our work together.
‘I was struggling with stress, possible ADHD and my dissatisfaction at work. There was a lot of stress at work and my confidence had been impacted by a couple of incidents. I had worked with her before, also valued the similarities with going through ADHD [diagnosis and befriending differently wired brains] process.
‘I have really grasped how sometimes I leave gaps which provides opportunities [for others] to push boundaries. I have practiced setting a clear statement to reset my boundaries. And acceptance of some of my overwhelmed and ADHD-ness!
“I’ve learned to challenge my tendency to assume intent behind other’s behaviours. And to set clearer boundaries. I appreciated the validation.”
My pleasure, Alison!

‘It helped bring peace to the mind and body by slowing things down. I found reading the manual beneficial as that, with the sessions, made sense of each other. I’ll continue using the different breath techniques for lifting and calming.
“Many thanks. You have given shape and form to my understanding and practice. I’ve enjoyed your humour and gentle approach”
G ~ on 6 weeks of Self care coaching with yoga
‘I wanted to learn how to try and relax and take more time for myself. Yoga therapy with Eve helped because whenever I felt worried or unsure I thought about what she had said and tried to put into practice some of the breathing and stretching exercises.
‘It was very calming and relaxing and made me think about looking after myself more and how breathing in various ways can make such a difference to how you feel.
“Eve is a lovely person with a real understanding of what people are feeling and her gentle but positive way of explaining everything helped me to enjoy the sessions with her. Thanks so much. This really helped me to feel better about things.”

‘Thank you again so so much; you will never understand how much you have helped me gain a little bit of normality back in my life just from using the techniques you have taught me. I really enjoyed our classes and you put me at ease straight away.
‘The Yoga Therapy for the Mind 8 Week Course for Stress, Anxiety and Depression with Eve has helped me feel better able to cope better with stressful situations.
‘I mentally “roar” (Lion pose) at people now. Focusing on grounding takes me out of whatever anxious moment I’m in.
‘The breathing exercises, remembering to be kind to myself, chanting, poses, and noticing physical sensations like itches (and the itch magically disappearing!) has been most helpful.
“Thank you so much for the learning, understanding and most of all, the giggles.”
Would you like my support with stress?
