"Caralyn in the first few sessions we have had has given me such a fantastic outlook on previous issues I have faced, and given the correct tools to start facing them in the future. Since meeting Caralyn my mental Health is improving greatly and having the tools to continue to fix it is making my day to day life so much better I can’t recommend her enough."
Caralyn has opened a new chapter to me which to be honest I never heard of called coaching which unleashed a lot of hurt and pain I was carrying at that point in my life as I was pretty much drowning and I didn’t see a way out.
So i decided to unlock a topic which for a year traumatised me mentally, I couldn’t sleep, things just weren’t going right for me as I was still grieving from this pain I was carrying.
Just from one session of coaching with Caralyn things started to make a lot of sense to me, what I loved about the session is how Caralyn took the time to explain the reasons why and how we move forward and just like that a whole lot of pressure just uplifted from my shoulders. Just from that 1 session my life went towards a direction which allowed me to be on top of the water again and I was no longer drowning. There was no time limit it was just simply refreshing to speak to someone and connect where u don’t feel what you were thinking as wrong and how to change that mindset Into a positive thinking.
I would highly recommended her service to anyone and in fact I have and my friend too has seen a major turning point in her life.
There is no shame asking for help as all you want to do is be a better person and enjoy everyday without any negative burden. Thank you Caralyn you always know I am forever greatful x
am a 52 year old woman who from the outside world would appear to have my shit together. I run a successful business but have always felt blocked. A few sessions with Caralyn and she was able to pinpoint what was stopping me from moving forward. Caralyn has a very intuitive way of guiding you to understand what is going on at the core. I feel so much more positive and able to move forward. I am no longer guided by the voices of those from my past - I am responsible for my own decisions now. Thank you Caralyn.
Having started to suffer with anxiety problems all of a sudden.. I came across the help of Caralyn - recommended by a friend. I'd like to genuinely thank this lady for the in depth knowledge and understanding she had to help me. In an hour long session with Caralyn I was advised of all the real solutions to prevent the anxiety.. from the vitamins I was lacking to the foods I should eat.. aswel as many other coping mechanisms that worked - one of them being Caralyns hypnosis session. I was at unease about this at first however doing the session was amazing. One of the main purposes of it was to walk away feeling calm and even to this day I still have walked away with that feeling of calmness. There is this superb tool out there - hypnosis - which caralyn has the ability to do..which can solve many issues and pain that sufferers have been dealing with for years, but from the right help you have access to find somewhat relief from this pain.
Not only was caralyn fantastic with her help and treatment, but she works around you and your timing and is fantastic at getting the help you need fast!.. A pleasure to write this comment for you caralyn. :) thankyou. x
