Heres a few stories from my clients:
I came to see Lorena with my partner at the time. With her gentle guidance, sharp insight and clear communication skills, we came to see that we both wanted the best for each other but different things from life. Lorena helped us understand and respect each other's individuality and we were able to part ways with integrity, honesty and the loving care we felt for each other in our relationship. It was a very challenging, insightful and rewarding process. I would recommend her services to anyone feeling in a rut and stuck. Thank you Lorena.
J and K. (couple)I approached Lorena looking for answers and support in my struggling relationship with my parents. Instead of just giving me answers and support, Lorena showed me how I could find the answers and the support I needed from within myself. She listened to me like I've never been listened to before, and then she taught me how to listen to myself. She saw me, and she taught me how to see myself. She didn't give me wings; she showed me how to see that I already have wings I was too scared to use. Lorena is truly the best teacher I've ever had in my life. I am so incredibly grateful.
E. (female)I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Lorena as a therapist for a number of years. In that time she guided me to get to know myself better, show kindness and sit in my own body among a number of other things. She has a beautiful presence and this amazing way of holding space for me to journey through my experiences of life. She is a wonderful kind individual that has an innate ability to know when to push and when to be gentle in the therapy process. Her empathy and the way she would sit and share herself with me was beyond generous. It was a magical and challenging time and I will be forever grateful for her skill, experience and the love she chose to bring to our sessions. Thank you Lorena.
K. (female)I had reached a difficult point in my life and I was feeling a range of emotions and feeling that I wasn’t quite sure how to deal with. Sadness, confusion, desperation, hopelessness, fatigue, self doubt were all buzzing around my head and I just didn’t know where to turn. Never having experienced a ‘talky’ therapy before, I didn’t know where to start, so on to google I went. Lorena’s name popped up and I read a little about her and how she worked. Something told me to reach out to her. I was nervous at first, but I soon felt that I had arrived somewhere where everything was ok to talk about, and there was no judgement. It was a safe place. Lorena has the ability to meet you where you are in life. She has a canny ability to subtly guide you to aspects of your life and experience that benefit from having the light of awareness shone on them. It’s a very hard thing to describe but it is pretty bloody awesome. Sometimes it was gentle, and in fact most of the time it was gentle, but there were times I needed a more ruthless hand to guide me and she did not shy away from that. The therapeutic process is not always comfortable and you need a confident and competent hand at the wheel. Lorena definitely has those qualities in spades. I have been moved, on more than one occasion to make contact with her after a session and thank her for challenging me. The scope of her work is truly amazing. From what I might call the nuts and bolts issues of every day life, work and relationships, to the much broader area of the existential. She has helped me to begin to connect the dots between all those areas of my life, and to realise insights and states of awareness that have opened my eyes to more than I thought was available. I can honestly say that working with Lorena has been life changing. Challenging yes, but seminal to the continuing unfolding of my life.
J. (male)Lorena held space for me to navigate and find perspective on how I was feeling, Her empathetic approach made me feel safe and understood. I’ve gained valuable tools that have given me more clarity on how my mind operates. I am incredibly grateful for her help and support.
J. (male)I have just completed a 6-year period of intense self-discovery with Lorena as my companion. It may sound extreme to say that she has saved my life, but under her guidance I have been able to restore myself to active living. This is clearly more than I job to her and her dedication and discipline to creating a safe and nurturing relationship is phenomenal. She always challenged me to love myself more. There were times when we seemed bogged down in words and meanings, and times when we had to deal with very delicate matters. Her professionalism and presence always shone through and her easy access to joy and wonder are aspirational. I am left with no doubt that I am worthy of knowing her.
O. (male)Lorena will always be remembered in our relationship, we have been married more than 35 years. 💕💕 We have a very deep appreciation for her kindness, professionalism and skill. She gave us tools that truly helped us communicate well and negotiate particularly through COVID. Even today when we strike "emotional speed bumps", we quote her wisdom and gradually move on. Life is surely an adventure and we sincerely want to thank her for her warmth and positive approach to the challenges we faced in our relationship. You will always be dear to our hearts.
