I cannot thank you enough for yesterday, for your gentleness, your kindness and wisdom. The tenderness with which you held the space and your humour and understanding!

I felt very held, heard and understood. I thank you!

Emotionally I still feel very tender and open hearted.

Physically I feel like I was an over achiever in a gym, sore muscles and exhausted, so a slow easy day for me.

You are so very much appreciated x

I wanted to thank you so much for the session you did with me.....it was massive the healing that has come from having 2 mothers having such a honest conversation on the pain we carry for fucking up. I felt so much love and compassion and i didn’t feel alone for the first time with this overwhelming pain that i have ruined my sons life and hurt him so much. You reached me in my loneliness with love and allowed me to see you too, and your shadow.

I feel so much lighter, so much more compassion to myself, and forgiveness. Mostly i do not feel alone anymore :)

I would love to do another session with you....i have tons of shit you can help me process lol ;)

Jokes aside, i felt really helped by you.

Oceans of gratitude......thank you :)

What really came through in your sessions was a sense of unconditional positive regard. I can find it difficult to accept peoples sincerity with this but I really felt this from you and trusted it. I think a part of me would have wanted a bit more light 'chit chat' first before starting a session to relationship build but I can also see the risk of that just building stories and a character of who 'I' am that I wanted you to see and then I could have hidden behind that as a mask. I've felt massive benefits from the sessions. A huge notable change is the natural playfulness which I'm allowing to come out more, its being expressed with my partner and in carrying out tasks which I may have found otherwise mundane or stressful.

I would highly recommend Pauline and Compassionate Inquiry to anyone who is serious about healing trauma's and old wounds or if struggling or stuck in life. Pauline's passion, professionalism and care are so clearly felt. Her support, acceptance and safety allowed me to trust her and myself to be really honest and vulnerable. For the first time ever I had permission to feel my feelings and emotions with no judgement and acceptance, helping me feel safe to fully feel and learn how to manage myself without overwhelm or fear guiding me and literally holding my hand in the process. I feel I have achieved 5 years worth of therapy in a very short space of time.

I totally trust Pauline, her warmth, presence, compassion and guidance allows me to surrender and listen to what is truly going on for me and move the energy with love and acceptance. I have arrived at a session often in my head with some story of what I think is going on and with her loving guidance to feel into my body brings with it insight, wisdom and ability to move what needs to move very quickly. Thank you for holding a safe and caring space where I can drop in and surrender to the healing available to me! With much love and appreciation

Pauline lovingly held me as I explored some painful issues surrounding my inner being. She asked pertinent questions and helped me to see things about my life that I had not previously been conscious of. Thank you."

With Pauline holding the space for me, what I experienced was nothing less than deep and profound in her ability to hold me wherever I would go. I always felt safe in her presence knowing that she was holding the container of our interaction, this allowed me to dive deeply to places I never knew were there without fear of getting lost and feeling alone. I am deeply grateful to have Pauline in my life.

"My sessions with Pauline were liberating. She has a calm and empathetic energy that allowed me to open up and feel safe. I found myself being vulnerable by peeling back the layers of my past traumas. With her support I've been able to make connections between past events and my emotional triggers but also be more aware of my body reactions."

Pauline has such a calm, down to earth, joyful and warm nature that makes you feel instantly relaxed. I never felt judged or silly for my thoughts and Pauline helped create valuable insights that I still remind myself of and keeps me in check when certain emotions come up. I've done a lot of counselling before and can very much be in my head but actually connecting to the body and letting my emotions move through me, rather than bubble up inside, was extremely powerful and it's work I carry with me every day, which I am eternally grateful for.

Thanks again for that time together, I mean what I said in the testimonial. It was really powerful stuff and I hope work is going well for you :-)
