1-1 Coaching

Bianca creates such a safe space right from the beginning. This has been different from the previous psychologists I’ve seen in more ‘clinical’ settings where I was expected to open up straight away without trusting the person.

She builds rapport so you feel safe, never pressures you, doesn’t just look at the one issue at hand but the bigger picture, and takes tiime to explain why I might have felt or reacted a certain way. She has a gentle manner but knows when to push me.

Bianca has helped me understand why my body reacted the way it did in situations, supported me through things I never thought I’d be able to tell anyone and taught me how to feel the emotions I had suppressed for so many years to a point now where I can actually express how I’m feeling. I’d never felt safe enough to allow anyone to know how I truly felt let alone allow myself to cry in front of them prior to working with Bianca (safe to say Bianca has now seen me cry in many sessions but in a good way!.)

I have never felt so heard with anyone else before and it’s been a massive relief to know I no longer have to keep things to myself and struggle alone. I never expected to find such trust in Bianca or to be able to open up so freely without judgement

I now know I won’t be stuck in the past forever and that with the tools I’ve learnt ft I can shift my mind and body. I feel like I have made so much progress and had so many glimpses that the future will have a very different outcome as to what it would have been like without doing this work with her.

Thank you for creating such a safe space where we can explore the hard, uncomfortable stuff while being so supported. To say you have changed my life is an understatement
