"Working with Timea has been a true delight in many ways!
Right from the beginning of the call to the end I felt seen, heard and safe. Even when she asks the tough questions that are meant to challenge me, I didn't feel even close to unsafe.
There wasn't even any room to be untrue with my answer to that though question, I had to be honest.
Her energy, light and presence kind of demanded it and wanted to share with her.
During the time that the tough questing had been answered and I was struggling to let something go or to help me relax. Timea was never far away with her comfort and her remarkable ability to know just what to say.
Even if it was something I had just mentioned in passing or something random. And every time like it was the missing piece of the puzzle.
Since I've been working with Timea I have really felt like a different man. In many ways! I feel more excited for life, I react to things differently, I feel more alive and for the first time in my life, I have in a safe and healthy way, released some of my anger. Even though I might have a long way to go still, until this particular work is done, it doesn't feel like that. Now it feels finished, because I know Timea is there by my side. She helps me believe in my self, she helps me see the good in me and she reminds me that I am not alone.
One transformation that has shown up in my physical life, is when I had a small fight with my wife the other day. For the first time in years, I had zero impulses to react with anger. No impulse to, like a boy, knock something over, slam a door, kick something or do anything else physical to act on my anger. And 10 minutes after the fight I had already let it go and could even with my calmness and words, help my wife to also let go so we could go to bed as friends."

The quality of my space holding and presence & the depth of the session
Excellent - I always felt you gave me the space I needed to share. I was actually talking with someone today about this and remarking on how good you are at it.
• Rapport (i.e. how much did you feel personally connected to me as your coach?)
On first impressions, not that connected. However as soon as you shared that you even knew what Hermeticism was I knew we’d get along. From there you have made me feel accepted as I am and I genuinely feel safe around you… Which is really rare considering I’ve been to so many therapists/coaches over the years and have never felt safe enough to share the things I’ve shared with you…. And it happened in such a short space of time!
• Transformation (i.e. how transformative was the session?)
Incredibly. I’ve made significant progress in my personal life (although there’s still plenty of work to do) however I finally feel I can accept myself more for who I am which is an incredible space to be in.
• Mastery of the tools I guided you through
I feel your mastery is great - your fluency on walking me through them has felt seamless. I haven’t yet had a moment where I’ve stopped and thought that you didn’t know what you were talking about. It’s a pleasure to be led by you and I’m grateful to be learning from you.
I can’t stress how surprised I am at the progress we’ve made. It’s incredible.
1. Please share 1 - 2 things that you appreciated about the coaching sessions.
I appreciate how accepted I feel around you; I really feel like you’re supporting of me in a non-judgemental way. It’s an absolute pleasure and contributes to my sense of safety and is what gives me power to change. I like you as a person. I think you have a really wonderful energy and I am really happy we met :)
2. Please share about any transformation and/or revelation you experienced.
Well.. there have been a few already. It seems each session with Timea I have a new breakthrough!
I’ve discovered some childhood sexual abuse. This made me feel pretty overwhelmed at the time, quite eye opening and explained a lot of my behaviours. Although I haven’t thought about it much since the session I believe it to be a significant contributing factor to how I’ve recently found peace with being attracted to the same sex. This has been quite transformational for me.
After working though talking about my sexual desires, I’m now excited by the prospect of expressing my sexuality more and have started taking about it openly with people (slowly…!) and have started posting content online which I’m really enjoying! It’s making me really happy and I feel free!
