Testimonials
From ACE Clients
From a professional:
"I've consulted Dominique to work with her on group supervision with myself and my work colleague. It has been immensely helpful for us to work with Dominque to address any professional issues that arise, to keep improving our communication skills, to improve our understanding of all kinds of different relationships, why they work, don't work and how to improve things when we might feel out of our depths or are struggling to see others points of view. Dominique brings great insight, understanding and clarity to things that sometimes don't make sense or are subconscious. She is really friendly and easy to get along with, but doesn't shy away from difficult areas or challenging problems and is always very supportive.
As another healthcare practice, we don't hesitate to refer anyone who needs a bit of emotional support to Dominique, which can really help improve overall well-being."
From young person
"As a teenager, I got a lot from a few sessions with Dominique. I was stressed out at exam time and she helped me to see things in a different light, then I started to make better progress with things and could think more clearly."
From professional and personal service user
"I have met Dominique as part of my professional development as an osteopath, with the goal of discussing situations that could be challenging as a health professional. I had never been to any kind of talking therapy before and I was unsure of what to expect but it is safe to say that my expectations have been greatly exceeded every time. Dominique is very professional and knowledgeable but at the same time personable and kind, having an incredible ability to make you feel at ease which allows honest discussion of any topic.
She is very resourceful which allows constructive solutions to given problems; this is achieved by outlining goals and having a discussion on how to reach them, considering the possible outcomes. I find particularly useful and interesting her insight as I feel it has helped me gain more confidence in my practice and in approaching complicated situations; it has also provided me with better understanding of my own work and my communication skills, which has reflected on an enhanced experience in the everyday practice.
If I were to describe the sessions in a very simple way, I would say that it is like having a friend who is amazingly good at understanding people and will always help you to sort out issues which is why I would highly recommend Dominique to anyone."
