In the course of a little over three months Helen Carmichael successfully guided me through a number of practical and emotional strategies which effectively changed my life.
In a warm, personalised environment, and using a range of simple but extraordinarily powerful techniques, Helen enabled me to visualise and more objectively clarify issues which were causing me a great deal of dissatisfaction. Using the same processes we then went on to establish goals I had never imagined possible and together find realistic ways of achieving them.
None of this would have happened had it not been for Helen's sensitivity and insight as well as her unwavering professionalism. Above all I felt I was able to trust Helen, literally with my life, and not once was I ever let down. Helen remains a wonderful mentor both personally and professionally and someone to whom I am forever grateful.
Working with Helen is being aware of having the power to design the most important thing in the world: your life. It is gazing at the world with excited eyes and new-found confidence - almost like having a second chance.
My session with Helen Carmichael was a small miracle. I'm instinctively resistant to therapeutic interventions, and play-acting of any kind has always been a real struggle. Helen's quiet confidence and direct address put me at ease and then caught me off-guard. The result was a relaxed and honest look at the state of my life, present, past and the hoped for future. Helen's follow-up report on the session was finely observed and provocative in its own right. All in all an extremely valuable intervention into my everyday assumptions about who I am and what I'm doing with my life.
Whatever creative or personal problem you're grappling with, Helen's technique helps you cut to the core of things and deal with situations in very human terms. The strength of her approach can be quite startling. In my own case, she helped me see where my past was getting in the way of my future. Since then I've had a better understanding of myself and a new intensity of focus in my work.
Sessions with Helen leave me feeling renewed, refreshed and energised ... Helen has given me the chance to look thoroughly at the way I live my life; reviewing, and making positive changes ... Part of these changes involves re-establishing my own values and applying these to everyday activities and situations, resulting in positive outcomes.
