"When I began coaching with Vicky I was burned-out, anxious and trapped in an identity built on being the “strongest” and “smartest.” Past trauma had resurfaced, therapy had only taught me to cope, and every new success raised the bar, leaving me exhausted, lonely and unsure of the future. Sceptical of Vicky’s timeline method, we started by clearing the five core emotions. Within a few sessions the knots of anger, sadness and hurt dissolved, revealing a forgotten self who felt lovable without proving anything.

Freed from that weight, I redirected energy from relentless achievement to genuine self-care. I explored femininity - buying clothes and jewellery that delighted me - dated without fear of rejection, paused studies misaligned with my desires, and created spaciousness for curiosity, play and nourishing relationships. Working through limiting beliefs exposed my harsh self-criticism and showed that such feelings are normal rather than flaws. Vicky’s blend of timeline work, direct challenges and tough love provided the undistorted mirror I had never found in therapy.

Further sessions on shame and guilt reframed experimentation as play instead of evidence for self-judgment. After only two months, anxiety has evaporated because its roots have been addressed; I now relish uncertainty, trusting open-ended possibilities instead of forcing outcomes. Coaching has not made me aimless - rather, it has opened space for authentic direction to emerge, allowing me to thrive without external validation or relentless striving. I feel lighter, whole, and ready to welcome whatever the universe presents with joy, compassion and unwavering self-belief, with gratitude for Vicky’s guidance."
