What clients say about me
During my eight week sessions with Perpetua, I found a confidante whom I can express my concerns, worries and anxieties . Perpetua has given me a safe and comfortable space to embrace and articulate my emotions, and thereafter helping me to create a refreshed self identity. As a young working adult, I am often confused by how to navigate the world around me, be it in the workplace or my personal life. Perpetua has given me a compass, in the form of affirmative advice, to navigate through such life's contours. Perpetua has also affirmed my decision to pursue my career interest. She is able to remove my doubts by motivating me to take actions towards achieving my goals. With Perpetua's coaching, my confidence has increased, and I have greater clarity on my outlook and decisions. Thank you Perpetua for your support. It is a joy to work with you.
"Perpetua surprised me with her confidence in me. She encouraged me to be true to myself whilst doing so in the best possible light, challenging me to discover who I am and what I believe in. As a result, I received my dream offers. I’d definitely recommend Perpetua. Excellent experience and knowledge."
Surprisingly liberating, empowering and effective. All the therapists I’ve seen made me feel like a little girl, so I expected to feel stuck. Some even scolded me for problems like having ADHD, dissociation and trauma. Coming from a very toxic family, I couldn’t trust myself. In one session with DrP, I got mental clarity. I know I’m not powerless, and I have learned that I do not need to get approval from my parents. Now I feel in control of my thoughts and of myself. They won’t run my life anymore. I have finished big work projects, and I see a way out of this quagmire.
I had such high standards for myself, believing that only the worst could happen. Most of my time was spent feeling handicapped, and avoiding action or difficult conversations. DrP surprised me on how easy it is to make little changes, and how quickly I felt better. I expected everything to be formal, stressful and unnatural and that it’d take forever to see any differences. Instead of a grand epiphany at the end of eight weeks, the changes kept coming. DrP helped me overcome the biggest challenge, which was being kind to myself. I have a chronic illness, pick my skin and gained alot of weight. It was very hard studying for my exams, but DrP helped me to feel in control very quickly. I became more productive and studied more. I have the tools to manage myself in all parts of my life, having awkward conversations and a better relationship with my boss and parents. DrP is supportive and wholly invested in you. Our sessions are so easy, I laugh a lot. Thank you.
My phobia was taking over my life. I was angry with myself and frightened. Step-by-step, you patiently helped me to understand why, and we broke down the work into a series of steps, while I was going through other difficult events. I learned to differentiate between my phobia and fear of fear itself. Everyone was surprised at my courage. I am very
proud of myself for these changes, and I feel less anxious and stressed in general. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.
Perpetua has a way with words which makes me connect with myself, others and the world around us. She naturally finds the perfect alchemy between the heart and the business mind to grow as a person and turn my story into a business. Meeting with her helped me to grow personally and creatively. She is a magical woman with a very unique coaching style. I can’t recommend her enough.
I am opening my eyes to see beauty in the everyday. Life is your daily routine, and you should look forward to your daily routine. Lately, I’ve been getting more vocal about my needs, it’s liberating. I’m leaving the old stories behind!
I didn’t realise how I’d been conditioned since young to justify everything. DrP identified pivotal situations in my family and schooling years that had created trauma and false beliefs. I have started to become more attentive of social rituals and my outlook in life, learning to stand up for myself. Where I previously had no discipline, I now have structure and schedules. People have started to see my expertise and consult me. I am more affirmed and anchored. Thank you. I have gotten so much out of this.
I was eating to suppress my rage. Perpetua quickly identified my issues and blocks in one session, and I learned to become more mindful of my behaviours. She coached me on self-care, where I’ve learned to breathe slowly when discussing the things that distress me, and I’ve made commitments to love myself going forward. Working with Perpetua has felt safe, illuminating and a pleasure to have so much time and attention given to an unconscious habit that’s been hurting me. I’d absolutely recommend working with her.
"You’ve grounded me. I didn’t expect to achieve so much in eight sessions. My relationship breakdown hit me a lot harder than I thought. When we started, I thought it’d be like previous attempts at psychotherapy— with little change. You take a genuine interest in me, and are enthused by what you do; you’ve clearly changed your own life too. What surprised me was how you deliver your points clearly and rationally. It’s nice not to feel bullied by myself for a change, and to be able to enjoy my life. I’d really recommend working with Perpetua to anyone who feels like they have stumbling blocks to a fulfilling and happy life. It’s really worth coming to somebody who knows."
I was suffering from severe depression and anxiety, and couldn't understand why. You patiently unpicked the causes with me, and I realised a big part of the problem was hating myself for being ‘unmanly’. We learned about my ideal self image, and how to cope with future triggers. Today, I am not depressed any longer. I socialise more, and performed very well for my final examinations. My next step is to do a Masters. Because of therapy, I am better organised to look for practical solutions rather than to escape into my cocoon.
Incredible. 10/10. I thought I was beyond help. I had panic attacks and crippling anxiety. In three treatment sessions, I started taking the train again. And I’d been avoiding it for 12 years. My life has changed. I exercise, eat better, and stop running away from my life. The shame is gone. I’m surprised by how quick this journey has been, and how simple and practical the solutions are— we could have sat down and just talked for ten sessions without making changes. You’ve opened up what I can do, and helped me heal my past. I thought it was self-congratulatory to be positive or love myself, and I learned that I have indeed done really good things. Thank you!
DrP is energetic, dynamic and engaging. I loved how I learned to incorporate all the senses in creating new perspectives and growing myself. I was also able to take the time to reflect and connect.
When I first hired DrP, I had a cross-continental legal battle and experienced trauma episodes five times a day. I blamed myself. He felt like a ghost. In two sessions, my trauma episodes went down to once a day. I understand the dynamics of a relationship with a psychopath a lot more. I have more energy, stopped blaming myself, and realised I don’t have to forgive him. I used to feel guilty if my friends had no boundaries and made use of me. Now I put them in their place. I even worry way less about my health. It used to be a story of David & Goliath. Mentally, I believed I wasn’t on the same level with him. Now I feel I can step into the arena and win. He’s no longer a ghost. He’s simply a wolf. And I can defeat the wolf.
A car accident. Renovation problems. Difficult work situations. My panic attacks became so bad, they affected my job and I couldn’t fly. Very quickly, DrP helped my fears to fall, I no longer panicked whenever I woke up. I no longer have panic attacks, and realise that even if I talk myself into feeling the first onset, I can deal with them. I now know how to pace myself rather than feel overwhelmed.
I was disgusted with myself and completely broken. Working with Perpetua on self-love and mindfulness empowered me. I realised that I’m normal, and healed from my breakdown very quickly. She paid attention to my needs, never judging me. Today I know myself better, and I’m proud of my achievements, no longer beating myself up for not doing enough. I’ve seen the positive effects on my work and family, and feel confident to deal with my future. Perpetua has helped me to grow into a better version of myself, in eight sessions. I’m very thankful and would definitely recommend her!
For thirty years, I saw many professionals. I was angry and believed that I had no hope with my bipolar disorder, anxiety and anger. You patiently helped me to understand why I enjoyed being angry and worried. You helped me to tackle sharing my thoughts with the people who mattered. Quickly, I realised that things could change. I enjoyed setting aside time for Worry Time and Angry Time, and to use mindfulness meditation outside of those times. I learned to focus on happy and productive things that made me proud, and learned to tackle my moods with our action plans. Thank you so much.
