Professional. Anchoring. Perceptive.
From the outset, I was excited by Anila’s background as an Art Psychotherapist, this alone encouraged me to respond to our sessions creatively through drawings and visual brainstorming which I shared with her afterwards. This process felt deeply natural and helped me access thoughts and emotions I might not have been able to reach through an exchange of words alone.
Before our sessions, my inner world was loud with old stories — blame, self-doubt, and responsibility that was never mine to carry. Together, we bravely explored my family dynamics, which gave me profound insight into long-standing patterns such as people-pleasing, poor decision-making, diminishing my own needs and setting boundaries — all rooted in childhood. We also gently unpacked past trauma and how those experiences influenced my present-day choices and behaviours.
Anila held every session with such calm and compassionate energy, that I always felt safe to open up without reservation. I knew from the intro call, I’d be met with understanding but beyond that, she made me feel grounded and empowered - something I wasn’t used to. I consistently left our sessions with a healthier reframing of my experiences, replacing the damaging narratives that had been looping in my mind for decades.
I truly couldn’t recommend her enough. She has had a lasting impact on me and I’ll be eternally grateful.
