I came to Denise because I was suffering from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, an eating disorder, I was constantly ill and had very little self-esteem.

Since I had tried therapy before and did not improve, I was very skeptical but at the same time desperate to get better, so I wanted to give it a try.
At that time, I was not at all familiar with somatic psychotherapy, which is the approach that Denise used to start working on my symptoms.
Right after the first session, I realised that this way of working was just right for me and I can recommend it to anyone who has difficulties talking about the past/ personal problems or who has difficulties finding the source of whichever symptoms it is you are experiencing.

But more than the somatic work made me continue therapy with Denise.I never left a session feeling devastated, empty, anxious whatsoever, since Denise is always making sure to “close” the subject of the session and to leave you with a feeling of having worked on the actual problem and resolving it, rather than stirring things up, leaving you feeling anxious and lonely, which is something I had experienced in previous therapies.

It has been almost a year since I started the work with Denise and all my symptoms have decreased. I already recommended Denise to some of my friends whom I knew was struggling, and I can only encourage anyone who is thinking about starting therapy to contact her and give it a try.
The work with Denise was a complete game-changer for me and for those of my friends who committed to the therapy as well.

I will be forever grateful that I found Denise and had the life changing opportunity to experience therapy with her.  She is not just extremely well-qualified, highly professional, multi-skilled and experienced, but she is also profoundly empathic, honest and humble. Therapy is not an easy or a fast pathway, it can also be exceptionally painful, but Denise inspired trust in me from our very first meeting.  I strongly believe that trust is the core foundation stone to begin learning how to heal and thanks to Denise’s somatic approach to therapy, I’ve also re-discovered that my head is actually attached to a body that I’m slowly learning to reconnect with.  In addition, for someone like myself who ‘needs to understand everything’(!) she has the rare gift of being able to explain neuroscience and physiology in layman’s terms.

I found the Befriending the Nervous System Course with Denise and Jo truly enlightening and empowering.  The combination of learning the science behind the way the nervous system works and practising the exercises that help us build awareness of our own nervous system has been really valuable to me.  I feel inspired to learn more and keep practicing as much as I can and to integrate this into my way of life.
