"Very useful, life-improving pain management and HSP therapy"

I started having sessions with Valentina at the beginning of this year when I was struggling with Fibromyalgia pain symptoms. Before our sessions, I was feeling so lost, desperate and overwhelmed. I didn't understand why I had so much pain. She gave me detailed crystal clear explanations and helped me understand why I had pain and what I should do to prevent it. She took the time to understand me and my needs. Thanks to her, I didn't experience as strong Fibromyalgia flare-ups as I did before our sessions. I also discovered things about myself that I didn't realise before. I had numerous enlightening moments during our sessions where I thought wow that's why and why I never thought about that before? In addition to pain management tools that she provided, she also helped with my high sensitivity.
It was lovely to work with a person who has vast knowledge about Fibromyalgia and HSP at the same time. For the first time I really felt understood. I would like to thank Valentina for this journey and highly recommend her to the people who struggle with their pain symptoms and/or being an HSP.

"Insightful therapy and guidance"

The work I did with Valentina has been very useful to improve my daily-life. She took the time to understand me, the way I function, and my specific needs, also being HSP. She guided me to undertsanding what was going on and how to improve my life. I particularly enjoyed working on the internal family systems model, that resulted in several aha moments and had positive consequences in my personal relationships. I absolutely recommend her.

Valentina was a kind and patient teacher, she taught us some mindfulness techniques that are really useful for combating daily stress, highly recommended!

"Great beginners course in mindfulness"

I loved this course. A great intro to mindfulness, how it works and why. I learned how to tune into myself which is a priceless skill. I liked the balance of theory and practise sessions so you understand both, the why and the how. Will recommend to everyone!

"Skilled holistic practitioner, combining physical and psychological interventions."

I valued Valentina's personal warmth, empathy and soothing presence. Her holistic approach - i.e., her ability to combine neurological, biological, psychological and social theory with physical interventions - was far more helpful to me than the solely medical and psychological interventions I'd previously experienced, and her combination of qualifications and experience was well-suited to the issues I brought to work on. Valentina provided a wealth of information in-session, and I found it especially helpful that she emailed me summaries of each session and links to additional materials - e.g., book recommendations - to enable me to continue our work independently. I appreciated that she encouraged me to email her between sessions with questions and comments: when I did this, on occasion, I felt heard and contained by her responses, which she then brought back into our next sessions. Throughout, Valentina was responsive to my experience of our work: she actively invited me to shape the content of our sessions and changed their focus in response to the feedback I gave her.

"Valentina's sessions"

I highly recommend Valentina's sessions. She has taught me exercises tailored to my personal needs and goals which are helping me to manage my pain in the long term.
