Gillian has had such a profound impact on my life. She has been instrumental in helping me grow and develop in various aspects of my relationships including romantic, family, friends and colleagues.

JENNIFER NOBLE, Relationship Coach

I am writing to express my thanks and admiration of my IAT (Integrated Attachment Theory) coach who I had the pleasure of working with from October 2022 through April of 2023.  I had never had any experience talking with a therapist of any kind so I was a little unsure about doing so.  I knew I had a tendency to ignore, disregard and hide my own deep feelings, as well as a strong tendency to be guarded and somewhat distrustful of people.  Needless to say, I ventured into the sessions with a “nothing to lose” approach.  Well, I can honestly tell you that Gillian was one of the easiest persons I’ve ever spoken with and I was able to trust, let my guard down, and accept many of the unspoken/hidden feelings I’ve had for a long time that actually, in retrospect, hindered me from accepting myself and my feelings.  I truly wish I had her in my life a long time ago.  Gillian’s supportive, teaching, accepting manner is the reason I could “open up” and allow myself to be vulnerable with the good, the bad and the ugly that we all feel and sometimes harbor within ourselves.  Gillian helped me through discussion, homework, setting goals, researching and guided me with understanding, sharing of experiences, and an honesty that will always stay with me.  She helped me become a more confident, strong, understanding person.  I have become more tolerant, and transformed many of my limiting beliefs which has helped me to live a happier, more positive life.  Although we no longer have sessions regularly, I still refer to the many tools given to me as well as reflecting on her kind words, advice and laughter, as well.  I know I could rely on her if I’m ever in need.  I highly recommend her expertise to anyone and everyone.  You’ll be a better person with her help, guidance and support.  Best to you.

Gillian has helped me so much! Through our sessions I have learned how to be a better partner and friend. She made me feel comfortable and safe enough to really open up to find out what I really wanted/needed to work on. She’s also very professional and knowledgeable. She is always continuing her education to better help her clients.
