"Paul came into my life several years ago through the recommendation of trusted friends and confidantes (a book club which had turned more into a group therapy session via books and then became a meeting point and clearing for friends to share issues and concerns over wine and a half-read book).  A few friends there had spent time with and had worked with Paul and highly recommended him to me as he had helped them transform their lives.

I was at first reluctant and cynical but really felt I wanted to move forward and needed help to do so.  In my mind, I had successfully been through a divorce, whilst holding my life (and self) together, keeping working and bringing up children, and being the independent, career woman I strove to be in the world of finance.  I had sought psychological help, been to landmark workshops, had life coaching, and truly felt happy to be out the other side and still standing.  I knew I had to take responsibility for myself and for creating the life I wanted yet I somehow felt blocked in moving forward and could not explain this.    

I wasn't sure what if anything was holding me back and couldn't explain why.  I wasn't sure what might occur and initially didn't notice.  Slowly but surely after having some sessions with Paul, things in life, which had felt insurmountable.. from simple dealings with the ex, family, friends, and colleagues to tackling jobs around the house and at work which had always felt overwhelming started to happen and shifted for the better.  So much so that I managed to embrace clearing things out, re-decorating, fixing and finally selling the former family home to embark on a more authentic and true path. This then led to moving jobs and tackling old hurts with my father and family and an inappropriate partner at the time.  I hit obstacles along the way, the biggest being my mother's cancer diagnosis.  In one session Paul asked me about something which came up around my mother's feelings about her own mother's death... which when I later enquired and discussed with her, led to a great admission of guilt on her part, and a massive unburdening and many tears.  My mother had carried this with her for a long time and never shared with anyone.    We became even closer and much more honest in our communication with each other (as a family) in dealing with her treatment and subsequent wishes and death.  However, for me the best thing was being able to remain focused, clear, calm and strong and capable, to be there for her and my father and brother and my own children throughout.  I had just changed jobs, was on my own and sometimes felt I was struggling to juggle.  At 47 this period of my life has been the most challenging to date.  I truly felt part of the sandwich generation caught in the middle of growing children with aging (and in my case a dying one)parents all happening whilst working, commuting, living, loving, and still wanting to be a little and laugh a little and have fun.  Paul's sessions have helped me to get through and come out the other side with a better, clearer sense of self and who I am and what I want from my life, and how I will go about it.  Without drama or medication, with laughter and tears and real emotions and feeling, to feel is to heal.  Paul has helped me find my way back to me, to fall back in love with me and be open to love others.  Ironically success at work has followed on as a result and life is feeling exciting again as I simplify and enjoy my life.
