"I have been seeing Valerie for a few months, and I can honestly say it’s been a transformative experience. From the very first session, Valerie created a warm, nonjudgmental space where I felt completely safe to open up. Valerie has a remarkable ability to listen deeply, ask insightful questions, and gently challenge me to see things from new perspectives. I always struggled to deal with the stress of being a dad while trying to balance work and family life. Valerie gave been the tools to be able to deal with these stresses and I am confident that I will be able to manage well in the future. What stands out most is her balance of professionalism and genuine empathy. I always leave sessions feeling both understood and empowered. The tools and insights I’ve gained have made a real difference in my daily life, helping me navigate stress, relationships, and personal growth with much more confidence and clarity. I’m incredibly grateful to have found Valerie and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful, compassionate, and effective therapy"

"Used Valerie’s services to help support my teenager who has been going through a difficult time with both teenage issues and social and emotional issues. The change in my child in 6 weeks was fabulous would highly recommend"

"I originally approached Valerie as she offered the 'rewind technique' and I thought this could support me with a lifelong phobia. I had previously attended CBT, talking therapy, you name it, I tried it!!! However, what Valerie offered me went beyond helping my phobia and my time with her truly changed my life. I am more confident, I don't live in a fight or flight loop, I literally feel a million times better. She delivers therapy based on 'Human Givens' which is different to many other techniques out there as it is focused, honest and completely on your terms. I couldn't recommend Valerie enough. If you need support, don't wait. Book an appointment!!!"

"When I first visited Valerie I had a lot of mental trauma weighing me down & causing me problems, suicidal thoughts most of the time, flashbacks, never satisfied, unable to relax, drinking far too much all from a traumatic upbringing, 12 years as a Royal Marine Commando (Afghanistan War) time as an Armed Security guard in Hostile environments & on Ships across the Globe. My Family life was severely affected & I even had an attempt at suicide. Valerie quickly got the crux of the issues & performed rewind techniques that buried these feelings that were associated with these traumatic memories. I felt lighter & more positive. I moved forward with my own health transformation & lost 15kgs of weight (even lighter again!) I was still struggling with my home & Family life & bought my Wife to Valerie as I had unintentionally passed on my PTSD to her along with her own traumatic Childhood & child birth of our daughter. Valerie worked her magic on my Wife as well & now we are operating much better as a Family unit, we are more positive, less anxiety & we have learned techniques to address issues as they arise. Valerie is great at what she does & what she does works, I whole heartedly recommend her & probably wouldn’t be alive if not for her as I had pretty much given up on the World & considered it not worth fighting for! Thanks Valerie & take care"

"I just want everyone to know how much the services of PTSD Resolution & in particular Valerie Hillen who was assigned to my case! Their services to me was invaluable! Both PTSDResolution & Valerie Hillen have done more for me in 6 sessions than the NHS did in 20 years! I totally recommend the services of both PTSD Resolution & particularly Valerie Hillen for their expertise & commitment to me! Even through the coronavirus issues Valerie Hillen found a way to continue our sessions on line! She went way & beyond the call of duty! A remarkable woman devoted to helping those like myself who suffered from PTSD! I recommend the services of PTSD Resolution & in particular Valerie Hillen to anyone in need of their services!"

Paul said: "Everything around his death was a massive front pushed to the back of my mind. It affected me, I just shut down. I would sit in a dark room smoking and drinking. I was drinking to forget and often passed out with alcohol. I was always the joker, but not anymore. I couldn't sleep". After Paul had the rewind technique and the sessions with me said "Although previously I had felt claustrophobic, everything has opened up and I am able to talk to people about my past. It's given me an explanation about my experience. I feel understood and heard and don't dwell on the past and I am looking forward all the time now".

"I felt from the very first therapy session with Valerie my anxiety levels really dropped. Everything we talked about made absolute sense. I was able to see where I was going wrong with my approach to everyday situations. I then realized my learned behavior was causing a lot of my anxiety."

Recently started work again after long term unemployment and suffering from OCD.
"From the sessions with Valerie I became more focused and centered. The Guided Imagery help me manage my stress and Anxiety and I practice regularly. I had a fear of needles and was dreading attending the dentist, which after 1 session I was delighted to be able to get through no problem. I have epilepsy but because I can manage my anxiety and stress better, it is more manageable. I am getting on with my life more and not living my life in fear because of health issues".

"Valerie has helped me massively, especially with a variety of techniques to address long term anxiety, confidence issues and some recent unemployment. She shared many tools and wisdom using the Human Givens Approach, which meant that after only a few sessions, I was successful in getting work again in the area I wanted. More than that, work is now an uplifting environment and if I ever feel anxious, I can use a breathing technique or listen to a relaxation audio to calm me down: It always works.
Mainly though I don't feel continual anxiety any more. This is partly because Valerie worked with me to see new perspectives regarding traumatic past events, bullying and family issues. I don't ruminate about the past so much and instead, I focus on the future where I'm needed and that feels really good!"
