TESTIMONIALS
Testimonials for Vanessa Wallace and Crystal Clear Coaching
"For anyone considering whether to sign-up to a retreat, I would whole heartedly say do it. Having just returned from the Renew and Reconnect retreat, I can honestly say I feel both - a massive shift, energised, and more positive too.
Attending a retreat is a huge investment, but in the most important person - yourself. The topics covered on the retreat are both challenging and enlightening, for the body as well as the mind, and there will be tears and laughter - all within the safety of others experiencing the same.
The retreat isn’t a quick fix. It doesn’t wave a magic wand and you are miraculously cured from anxiety or depression. But what it does is give you a greater awareness of how and why you feel what you feel, tools and techniques to break destructive thoughts, and supportive groups within which to explore sensitive issues and offer mutual support.
Under the hugely experienced guidance and support of Vanessa you decide what will serve you best going forward, and you set your own goals to work towards.
I've had the privilege of working with Vanessas over the last six years, and been on three retreats, and I can honestly say the work with her has transformed my close relationships, family dynamics, my outlook on life, and my whole sense of worth because I have learnt to accept and love the most important person in my life, myself."

"My experience with Vanessa from the start was positive. Obviously seeing a coach at first can be really unnerving, but she made me feel at ease and once you get talking about the problems that you wish to discuss and reach out for guidance. You start to feel progress into positive thoughts. I became very settled and comfortable very quickly. She has helped me through a lot and I would recommend her to anyone. You feel you can say anything without judgement. Seeing Vanessa has changed my life for the better."

"I have been working with Vanessa for about two years and our sessions have aided me to enhance my ability to independently manipulate thought processes through the use of cognitive-behavioural techniques, leading to emotional well-being and greater peace of mind. Vanessa has helped me formulate and achieve goals, clarify my thinking, improve my relationships, and just feel and live better. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!"

"When I looked at Vanessa’s Website I instantly saw a parallel between my own life and the points shown on the page. Being in my mid 50’s I have seen a bit of life, yet knew I was locked in a cycle of negativity that somehow creeps up on you and becomes ‘you’. It was having a huge impact in all aspects of my life from work to family and I knew I needed to change ’something’, but didn’t know what that ’something’ was let alone how to achieve it. The 12 step programme is brilliant, it required me to ’step outside’ of my normal self and be prepared to be challenged on my beliefs and views whilst being prepared by Vanessa to be open to alternate thought patterns. Vanessa has the tools at her disposal to understand ‘you’ and to deploy both her skill as a Coach and the tools at her disposal to transform your life. I thoroughly recommend Vanessa to anyone who feels lost and doesn’t know how to get back on track.
