Counselling and Coaching Testimonials from cards, letters, emails and other sources
Counselling Testimonials are statements from clients in their own words about their counselling experiences. Please also see Mindfulness Testimonials.
“There is so much power in words. I will never be able to thank you enough for teaching me how to breathe and live again. To someone who I’ve never actually met, I owe you for your words and wisdom. You have helped me gain the strength I needed to lead my own life. You have helped me cope with my substance abuse which I never thought was a possibility and here I am, 3 months later and have succeeded beyond my own expectations. You have helped me learn strategies and techniques to be free of my anxiety disorder and diminish it when I couldn’t see a way out or how to be calm.
Learning how to meditate and use mindfulness of breath was a massive game changer, something so simple and delicate impacted my body and mind in the largest sense, it just needs to be consistently practiced. Self care is SO important.
Knowing that you were there to listen, feeling accountable to you because you cared and have genuinely given me some of the best advice that I try my hardest to follow.
I have always looked forward to our phone sessions, you reminded me of my own abilities and to take care of MYSELF. You have been a very special person in my life, all the distress and damage was able to be alleviated because of you. I thank you again, although it would never be enough, for being you.” Kayla (telephone client).
‘Hi Pauline,
I am writing to thank you for all your help during my recent counselling sessions, which I found so immensely helpful. With your professional and caring approach I felt able to rationalise and so work through my problems and worries …. I truly feel that I can get on with my life now, my self-doubt diminished and feeling more positive about the future. I also feel reassured that I can have more counselling if needs be. Thank you again Pauline,’ Kind regards, Louise.
‘I felt completely depilated on my first visit to our counsellor. I couldn’t see any solution to our problems. I thought they had gone too far. I left with a feeling of hope and that feels a lot better than despair. The second session went fantastic. We both spoke to each other with our counsellor, being guided when needed. We both resolved some major issues in our relationship that had been going on for years. Our counsellor helped us by teaching us proper communication skills.
It was also great having her input in what needed to change and why. Sometimes as husband and wife you get very stuck and stubborn. Our counsellor opened us up at looking at aspects of our relationship that needed to change in a very non-judgemental way.
I feel that our counsellor gave me the tools to be able to pull myself out of the hole and the importance of openly communicating with your partner . We have a much better relationship and if it hadn’t have been for our counselor, we wouldn’t be together now!!! Always grateful’ from the partner of a previously very distressed, now very happy couple.
‘Hello Pauline,
I’ve been interstate. Apologies for not contacting you sooner. Our session a couple of weeks ago helped to clarify what was troubling me. Many thanks for your patience and insight’ Marie.

I know that I will have to keep working on this until it is a habit, and new and improved habit to replace the old ones :)’ Ruth.
‘Dear Pauline,
I would like to thank you so much for all your support. My experience with you as my Life Coach has transformed me. I am sure that you hear this all the time, but I really mean you have transformed my life!!!! I cannot believe the difference seeing you has made. Your sessions were informative, eye opening, extremely user friendly, felt like they were relative to me, and have transformed my every thing!!!!!
I too, am a professional Life Coach and counselor, due to this initially I was unsure about accessing somebody else for my own personal use, I must say that these concerns were quickly dismissed after meeting with you, due I feel to your skill, warm approach, your openness and understanding and your ability to stay focused to the task of improving my life.
I am not sure how to explain this but there is something about the way you deliver information that is relative to me, that makes me get it, your approach allows me to actually take the information on board, it may even be something I already know and possibly have taught others, but without your intervention I would not have got it for me.
Since commencing Life Coaching with you I have battled and won against my fear of success!!! I feel more confident speaking publicly and actively look for opportunities to do this. Your work with me has allowed me to accept that I am worthy of respect, care, love, and general personal and professional success.
These are now apart of my life. In addition I have commenced private practice and this is going so well that I have had to resign from some of my other work. My family notices the difference in me and they thank you too.
The strategies you have given me to enhance my well-being, address my fears and reprogram my negative thoughts are used every day. I would l highly recommend you to any body wishing to improve them selves, their relationships, work life, and especially those who wish to, address concerns and fears, work through issues and to feel generally better. You are amazing. I wish you every success as a life coach and will not hesitate to access your services if I need to in the future, or to recommend you to others. Again thank you so much’ MaryAnne.
