"I'm feeling on fire! That's the only way I can describe it!

I did quite a bit more work on myself since our session and I think everything just started clicking nicely into place. The puzzle was getting more and more complete and clear so to say.

I've asked for a pay rise. I found my perfect therapy room. I'm asking clients to leave me feedback and reviews to build up my brand. I'm now working on my marketing and leads generation and meeting the people who can greatly benefit from my unique gifts and talents.

Thank you so much for that incredible session Kate. I will always remember it!"

The presenting situation

This client knew she was capable and good at what she did. But she struggled to put herself in front of potential clients, compared herself constantly with competitors, and was not asking for what she was genuinely worth. If you have ever known your value intellectually but found yourself unable to charge it, ask for the promotion, or step forward in the way your work deserves, this pattern will be familiar.

What the session uncovered

In regression, she visited a childhood memory of being punished without being told why. When she asked her parents what she had done wrong, they became angrier still, expecting her to already know. She left that experience with no understanding of what had happened, only a sense that asking questions made things worse.

Further scenes explored experiences of asking for things she really wanted and being refused, again and again, across childhood and into her teens. Over time she learned to stop asking and to silently hope that what she wanted would be offered to her instead.

The beliefs that had formed were clear: asking leads to disappointment or punishment, so it is safer not to ask. Wait, and accept what you are given.

What shifted

With adult perspective brought into those early experiences, she was able to see them differently. She recognised that as an adult she had the power to ask, to negotiate, to explain her value, and to keep asking elsewhere if the first answer was no. She reconnected with her own capability and understood that her hesitation had never been a reflection of her worth, only of what she had learned very early about the safety of asking.

The session was reinforced with a bespoke recording focused on confidence in her own ability, releasing comparison, the belief that her service is worth being paid appropriately for, and the trust to go out and ask for what she wants rather than waiting to be offered it.

"The change has been unbelievable since my session Kate.

I redid my whole website in the week after the session as I could now see that my messaging wasn't clear. It was like I was only vaguely talking around my services, there was no clear offer. I wasn't visible on my website either. I was subconsciously hiding. So I have booked to have some photos taken and I will have my smiling face all over the website very soon.

I have also raised my prices as I realised I was undervaluing the work.

A really strange thing about the childcare. My son actually asked me the next week if he could go into after school clubs for the first time. He's signed up for four days. It's like my releasing the block to it had a subliminal effect on him. I can't believe it.

I feel so energised every day now Kate. I am waking up really energised and ready to get straight on it, my productivity has gone through the ceiling. I can't thank you enough."

Client feedback at 3 weeks post-session

The presenting situation

This client was taking action in her business but did not feel fully aligned. Something was interfering with her momentum in ways she could not identify consciously. This is one of the most common presentations I see: the person who is doing everything right on the surface but keeps hitting an invisible ceiling.

What the session uncovered

In regression, she visited a memory of setting up a toy stall outside her house as a child, inspired by her best friend doing the same. Her stall was more popular. Her friend fell out with her as a result. She left that experience feeling that success in business cost her the relationships that mattered.

A second memory surfaced her distress as a child when her mother returned to full-time work and she had to go into after-school care. She felt powerless and devalued. A third memory showed her watching two women in her family who seemed relaxed and happy precisely because they did not work, which sat in confusing contrast to her hard-working but stressed parents.

The beliefs that had formed across those experiences: becoming a successful entrepreneur risks losing friendships; working more will damage her relationship with her children; life might simply be easier if she stepped back and let her husband carry the financial weight.

The block was protecting her from losses she had already experienced or feared, and colouring her present through the lens of those past moments.

What shifted

She was able to bring adult understanding to each of those memories. The friend had pulled away for reasons that had nothing to do with her success. The after-school care available to her own children today is qualitatively different from what she experienced. Her mother's income had brought real benefits to the family that she had, as a child, not been able to see.

The session reconnected her with the excitement she had felt at that first childhood stall, the natural energy of someone who loves what she does and is good at it. The recording focused on reactivating that natural drive, releasing the old associations between success and loss, and building the self-worth and self-trust to show up fully in her work.

"Kate, sorry I haven't been back in touch. I have been so busy. I have finished and delivered my programme. It's out there and I'm really happy with it, more than happy with it. The relief I had when I finally went live was immense.

I've now gotten really clear on how I am moving forward so I've been able to declutter some of the other works in progress as I know which way I am moving now with full focus. Nothing is going to stop me. Thank you so much for getting me back on track after feeling stuck for so many years."

Client feedback at 5 months post-session

The presenting situation

This client had ideas, capability and drive. But she could not get work over the finish line. Every time she got close to completing something, fear took hold and the project was abandoned. If you find yourself with a graveyard of almost-finished projects, starting strong and losing momentum as soon as the end is in sight, this pattern will resonate.

What the session uncovered

In regression, she visited a memory from age ten of having worked exceptionally hard, finishing the school maths syllabus a year early. She felt genuinely proud. One parent was impressed. It felt good - she had found the formula for approval.

A later memory showed her brother taking over a homework project she had been enjoying. He completed it, she received an A grade, and her father showed visible disapproval that she had received a top mark for someone else's work. The approval she had worked so hard to earn was now complicated by someone else's involvement.

The most significant memory was receiving her GCSE results. She had done exceptionally well. Her father checked and rechecked the results sheet as though he could not quite believe they were hers. He congratulated her, but it cost him visible effort. He began comparing her results with others. Within days, news coverage suggested that year's grades had been marked too leniently, and her father agreed. Months of hard work deflated in a moment.

She recognised in the session that this was the point she stopped trying. If exceptional effort could be knocked down that easily, the risk was not worth it. Better to be criticised for not trying than to give everything and have it diminished anyway.

The pattern that had followed her into adult life: work very hard toward a goal, then become overwhelmed by fear of delivery, because getting diminished either way felt inevitable.

What shifted

She was able to see that she had been seeking approval from someone constitutionally unable to give it, and that this had nothing to do with the quality of her work. She reconnected with her own genuine capability and her natural drive to finish things, and made a decision to become her own measure rather than waiting for an external verdict that was never going to come.

The session focused on separating her relationship with her parents from her professional life, building an internal encourager in place of the critical voice, reactivating the satisfaction of completing work and releasing it, and helping her see that a delivered body of work, even imperfect, is the only way to build the reputation she was after.
