“Pretty much can't tell you how grateful I am that you have patiently guided and supported me through this process”

”Until quite recently I was feeling helpless/hopeless, frustrated and quite angry at myself that I was unable to change behaviours that I knew I "should". I wanted to give up and I was very critical of myself, I was hating myself and I couldn't see a way forward to improvement. I felt I was putting in a heap of effort but getting nowhere.

Through this tough time I felt very comfortable to always let Catherine know exactly how I was feeling. She made me feel understood and supported. She gave me words of encouragement and kindness when I was suffering. She kept reminding me to celebrate the positive and to be kind to myself when I didn't want to be and didn't think I deserved it. Catherine showed me the importance of embracing uncomfortable feelings which was a struggle, and then a revelation."
