Client C
Ailis was instrumental in helping me navigate through some very big life changes and helped me find balance between being a career woman, a mother, a wife and being true to myself. We tackled my long term anxiety issues and she gave me the tools to manage anxiety going forward. I look forward to working with Ailis on a continual basis.

We approached Ailis following recommendation. Ailis didn’t disappoint, she worked well with our employee to allow them the freedom and confidentiality to discuss their concerns and helped them rebuild their confidence and set boundaries with the individual. Would fully endorse Ailis.
HR Director of an International Healthcare Organisation 2023
Ailis worked with us both on a separate basis for several weeks, analysing our personalities and our backgrounds, to help us then understand each other in a far better way.
The result, after some positive reinforcement and some practice, is a much more effective sibling team who don’t clash and work together in a far more harmonious and constructive way. So thank you Ailis!

When I met Ailis she instantly created a calming and safe place to speak freely with reassuring words as we progressed. She allowed me to ask questions of myself and to reassure me that all I was expressing and feeling both physically and mentally was normal, and would pass in time. She gave me myself back so that I could be a support to my family member which was the most important thing of all. I would thoroughly recommend Ailis as a compassionate person with much experience. I am very grateful to her.

Ailis is very professional and very caring. She helped me through a difficult period of anxiety, culminating in panic attacks, inability to leave the house and OCD. I have been back to myself since and I have no hesitation in recommending Ailis.
