"Thank you for your support so far, it’s made a noticeable difference in our relationship, and the tools/thinking approaches you have given to us we are applying in our haphazard and sporadic way but with good effect so far."

M.G.

I wanted to say a big thank you for our session on Tuesday. It was truly amazing and gave me so much clarity on how to handle things with my partner, when we are both tired and stressed. Your insights were invaluable, and I feel like I have a much better understanding now.

"There have been some unexpected bumps in the road this year and having Sorrel on hand to give a different perspective has been invaluable. She has gently challenged my thinking and helped me through to a calmer place."

Aishwarya S.

"Sorrel's insights and guidance were invaluable, helping me to navigate my current situation with greater clarity and confidence. Her ability to listen deeply and provide thoughtful, practical advice made a significant difference in my journey. She demonstrated a remarkable understanding of the dynamics at play and offered creative solutions that were tailored to my unique situation.

"What stood out the most was Sorrel's unwavering positivity and encouragement. She consistently reinforced my strengths and helped me see the progress I was making, even when it felt slow. Her genuine care and dedication were evident in every session, and she went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported and heard."

Vicky Stead

"I decided to reach out and ask for help, after I found myself experiencing what some people would call ‘burnout’ or ‘depression’. At the time I was finding it hard dealing with work commitments and a shoulder injury.

"To be honest, because I had completed some coach training myself, I felt as though I should be coping better. Instead of treating myself with kindness I took on even more. Sometimes your body has a way of telling you to stop, I was signed off work sick,and I found myself sleeping through the start of a pandemic. 

"Getting dressed was an option, as was brushing my teeth, washing my hair. Worse still, I went through a complicated bereavement.

"I feel thankful that I was able to experience coaching with Sorrel during this time. I felt really isolated, talking to friends and family is ok, but what coaching brings is listening with no agenda. No one is trying to fix you or suggest strategies, although I wouldn't think twice about asking for advice if it came up.

"Who wouldn't want more of that?"

Julie F.

"Sorrel coached me on the stress I was feeling trying to balance too many work and personal commitments. Through her gentle exploratory questions, it became clear I had become stuck in a pattern of over-committing, then getting overwhelmed by a fear of failure. With patience and persistence, Sorrel helped me see how my own thinking was creating the problem and helped me refocus on finding a way forward.
This is still a work in progress, but my main insight is to stay focused on my passion and purpose and use that to guide my decisions. It has been about saying no to some things to make space for what is really important, rather than feeling I have to say yes to feel better about myself."

Helen H.

"I went into coaching with an open mind about where it would lead me, but knowing that I wanted to approach life from a more confident and positive angle. Through meeting and talking with Sorrel on a regular basis, I have been able to embrace a new way of thinking and some tools to help me to maintain this. I am now better equipped to choose appropriate reactions to situations, that will build my own self-acceptance and self-worth. And I find that I am, barring the odd wobble, consistently more confident and positive than I was six months ago."

Jasmine L.

"Sorrel has been extremely helpful and caring throughout the last six sessions I have had with her for burnout and Long Covid, and I am so appreciative of the fact that she took the time to get to me beyond my medical background, providing much more genuine, personal and caring support. Sorrel's calming and reassuring guidance enabled me to understand how to look after myself and recover through managing and accepting my symptoms that previously felt completely overwhelming and debilitating. Thank you so much Sorrel for all your help and support!"

Ann

"Thank you for the help you have given me to overcome my phobia of dogs. Also for the introduction to Steph and the most lovely Lily. Steph made me feel perfectly at ease and let me go at my own pace. Lily couldn't have been more perfect.

"Steph refused to take a fee but did accept a donation to the dog's home. I gave far too little in comparison to what they gave me and hope to remedy that. I met the dog who is helping my granddaughter yesterday. Apart from an initial fear at his barking, I managed well. I feel as if I'm dreaming. It's incredible."

Mike Targaryen

"Really found the therapy and talking with Sorrel. She has helped me look at problems in a different way to before and am now able to go about things in a more positive way." 👍🏻

Lydia S.

"Sorrel helped me to think through where I am and what I would like to do next in life, helping with some critical steps and helping motivate me to take action beyond my hesitations. I recommend her coaching to anyone needing a bit of clarity to develop their own plans and goals and recognising thoughts or circumstances that are holding you back from moving forward."

Nisha V.

"I have been seeing Sorrel for years, for osteopathy and life coaching. She is professional, knowledgeable and really helpful. She's helped to manage my back pain and also helped me through a time of grief. 

"Highly recommended."

Sue M

"Sorrel has seen me through challenging times with ME/CFS - weeks and months when I had no energy and even doing a jigsaw or reading was too much. I felt woolly-headed and even struggled to organise and take my supplements most days. My only trip out each week was to be treated by Sorrel. I had to be driven there: it hurt my legs to climb those stairs to see her.

"Sorrel's calm, non-judgemental approach allowed me to share my experiences and those things that may well have been contributory factors leading to the way I was feeling. As weeks passed by I began to have increased energy, increased self-belief and self confidence.

"Her holistic approach was taking me in the right direction. She had said that improvement would be sure and steady, and it was. I was beginning to regain my energy through gentle life coaching from Sorrel as well as massage treatment and a targeted supplements regime. I am now living a life: art classes, piano lessons, family get-togethers, gardening, wildlife ..."

"Having undergone many tests from the doctors which came to no conclusion, it was suggested that chronic fatigue syndrome was the answer to my constant tiredness. After reading about sorrels Perrin Technique, it appealed to me as it sounded like a very practical treatment. So I booked a free consultation which concluded I had ME... 

"... I struggled a lot with day to day life. I was drained, depressed and fed up with the pain my body was holding. I tried counselling, thinking it was purely mental health issues but I always had a certainty it was not that. The pain in my body after a day of work was agonising and it made me miserable, affecting my relationships, wellbeing and physical health. My work was severely affected too, cutting to 2-3 days a week. So when I started attending my weekly appointments with sorrel, I was very committed to try my best at the advice she gave me. She gave me daily  exercises  to do as well as my own version of the Perrin Technique which was very easy to learn.  Sorrel also gave me coaching sessions which helped with dealing with my emotions during that time. I was given a free consultation with a nutritionist too called Anna who gave me loads of helpful advice. Supplements were also recommended which have helped hugely, and I still swear by them today. After 6 months, I started feeling a lot better- first with my mental health, then with my motivation and energy. 

"Today, 9 months later, I feel like a completely different person. I have a lot more motivation, energy and purpose to my days and I feel much happier."

Amit Shenmar

"Sorrel revived me from... debilitating  symptoms from a crippling fatigue, heart palpitations, severe depression, suicide ideation...

"CFS - Chronic Fatigue syndrome - is a horrendous soul sapping affliction that many people misunderstood and is rather lazily misconstrued as psychosomatic  by an underfunded medical industry...

"After a bout of diarrhoea and nausea following a trip to Ibiza on a yoga retreat I came back experiencing nausea, loss of conscious, balance, pain all over my body, falling asleep 15 hours a day never feeling restful.

"I went from having a busy life and training at least five - six days a week. To having to be spoon fed by my mother whilst unable to stay conscious.  Sorrel was the only person who... listened emphatically and didn't judge me.

"Her soothing words and...  application of the Perrin Technique was revolutionary within nearly two months I was steadily getting better each day. Each week my stamina got better started to go gym and return to every day life.

"Until one day it suddenly dawned on me I had healed.  All in all it took 6 sessions.  I can proudly say that a full recovery has been made, work full time, back training 5-6 days a week, socialising, watching telly, reading etc.

"You truly are a skilled practitioner with an empathy, grace, humanism that has truly humbled me. Eternally grateful."

Dan F.

"I started seeing Sorrel for coaching after a vitamin imbalance amplified some minor long term OCD and anxiety. Sorrel spent time listening and understanding my challenges, before proposing various techniques to help me. We worked through those techniques together over a number of sessions, and they made a real difference to me, and my life. I can recommend Sorrel without hesitation."

Jennie Desmond

"I don’t know how to put it into words really but I shall try. When I first started seeing Sorrel in 2010 I was a mess physically and mentally, within 2 sessions with her we had figured out that I potentially had CFS/ME & Fibromyalgia. She used the Perrin technique with me and the results were great. I was able to continue working for a few more years. Sorrel really listens to every detail and works on the areas which are causing trouble.

"We are currently trying the OldPain2Go method which works with the conscious and unconscious mind.

"My whole mindset regarding pain has been changed with Sorrel’s wonderful approach to dealing with living with sometimes a debilitating array of conditions.
I highly recommend Sorrel."
