HOLISTIC COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY
PROFESSIONAL CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.”
Nelson Mandela, 1994

Testimonials:

“I came to see Esmé about low self-esteem and performance anxiety. Her work with hypnotherapy has been invaluable in building my confidence and reducing my level of anxiety. My enthusiasm to take on new challenges and to achieve my career goals in the music industry has also increased.”
Rachael M/Musician & Singer

“The constant buzzing in my ears drove me to a deep depression. After seeking medical help from many specialists for my condition of Meniere's Vertigo I felt there was nothing that could give me any respite. I could no longer maintain my full-time employment. My sleep was broken, my energy level was running on empty and I found it easier to stay at home. After a few sessions with Esmé I experienced such a change that in three weeks the constant buzzing had decreased, the dizzy spells and my balance had been rectified, my depression had lifted and I felt motivated to do things. One month later I was able to resume my work part-time. The simple solution was sound therapy and healing.”
Brian V/Laboratory Technician

“Esmé has helped me with my smoking habit of 20 years. She has given me the tools to take charge of my life in a positive way and move on to lead a healthier and happier life as a non-smoker.”
Peter M/Graphic Artist

“In our sessions with Esmé my partner and I established a new level of communication which has brought more intimacy and love back into our relationship.”
Susan F/Secretary

“You have gently and skillfully guided me to solutions on life's path which I would never have found. For this I will always be grateful. I wish you well in the  life education you so enthusiastically impart to others in need. The down side is I don't see you as much for a reality check due to the difference you have made. Cheers.”
