Dido is a talented therapist. She called me out on behaviours and beliefs that were hindering my personal development and assisted me to find better coping mechanisms and resources that helped me become a more highly functioning in my people skills and communication. I found my family and staff have more respect for me now and listen and take me more seriously as a person. Thank you Dido. Mi***th 06 June 2018
As I had never experienced a life coaching session before, I was filled with apprehension and nervousness at what to expect. What a life changing experience. Dido made me feel comfortable and at ease from the word go. The three hours we spent together taught me so much about myself, helped me to discover and remove the demons in my life and opened doors I never new existed. She has taught me how to truly thrive in life and find my strengths. I would highly recommend anyone to do this course with Dido. And from me - thank you Dido. Ro**tz 12 July 2018
Lovely lady with great advice and tips for handling my issue xxx Vi***ot 3/09/2018
I didn't know what to expect from therapy. I always wanted to learn more about myself - it always felt something was missing. I think I was scared what I was going to discover. It was so nice to discover it was not some deep dark scry place but rather tapping into my "higher self" and potential that had kept me back all these years. My only regret is that I didn't do this in my 20's. I missed out on so many opportunities by having hangups and fears. La***en 14 September 2018
I had a serious issue with impatience and my wife insisted I go for “anger management” therapy. I found the skills and calming techniques I learned most useful and they have had widespread applicability in many areas of my life. Former ticking time bomb Da***es 19 March 2019
My mom and teachers said I had to see a shrink. I met Dido at a anti bullying thing at school. I learned that I was a bully because I was scared and had bad confidence. I now try to make people like me because i am nice and not because they are scared of me.. I also like myself now and know I am worth getting to know. I am sorry for ever being a bully. I am not a horrible person I just do some horrible behavior sometimes. Jo***la 30/10/2019
Thanks to Dido I have a better relationship with Ch*** She now respects me and I have learned about the importance of healthy boundary setting. With the Covid lockdowns and all stuck under the same roof 24/7, I learned just how toxic my family relationships are. Before my sessions with Dido I was a friend or big sister rather than a mother. My need to be needed and loved meant I sacrificed respect and Ch*** was rebelling and acting out. I hope to come back next year and have some marriage counselling because my needs aren't being met, and my husband doesn't take me seriously either. Na***ns 05/12/2019

I have the greatest confidence that with Dido you will be supremely empowered to achieve what you thought was out of your reach!! Fr***ni 7th October 2020
Dido is a natural Trauma Counsellor. She helped me straight after I was sexually assaulted and helped me sort things out and develop resilience and coping skills and strategies so that I never got PTSD. Ro***ha 13 March 2021
Dido helped me in a short space of time that authenticity is key. She gave me advice and tips to work with on my own between sessions which really helped me. I was looking for someone who could help me understand the connection between the spiritual world and the world we live in, and she understood. I highly recommend this beautiful, friendly, dog loving person. I miss all my hugs from the dogs. 🤗🌈 Ca***yn 09/06/2022
I am an ICU sister and was suffering from burnout and Compassion Fatigue. Thank you Dido for all the proactive and solution oriented advice, guidance and skills you taught me. I am also paying ot forward by teaching my team so that we all create a positive work environment and cope better with understaffing and crises. Sr***wm 28/07/2022
This was one of the hardest things I have done. Dido is a genius at overcoming resistance. In my first session I didn't know where to start and she offered a tarot session which to me was hysterical - what came from that unique icebreaker initiated conversation and momentum going forward. I realised thatI had become a victim and blamed the whole world for everything that was wrong in my life. what was hard is it means now I have to be responsible and accountable for my own choices and emotions and cannot blame them on anyone or anything else. Dido is professional but I found my sessions somewhat confrontational because she did not let me slip back into my victim mentality. She is right - we do become the stories we tell ourselves most often. Be***rd 2023/12/05
Mrs B is lovely and kind and very good When I was sad or angry she showed me how to change my mood She is so very funny but also has a nice voise She made me learn that what I feel is all about my choice I wish she was my mother to see her every day Because I would find fun and be happy and work but also play I am so much better now I am not shy and sad I wake up every morning and am glad for the new day I go to sleep feeling happy for all that i achieve I have learned lifeis what I dream and I believe If ever I have a problem I find is feeling bad I think back on all I leaned and then I am not so sad Vu***ni 6/4/24
Dido is highly recommended. I am in the UK and am an online patient of Dido's. She did a lot to help my best friend Da*** and saved her relationship. What I like is Dido is very professional and has lots of different methods and exercizes in her toolbox. I went to therapy before and it was u uncomfortable because the therapist just sat there and stared at me. Thank you Dido for caring. I will refer you yo my friends too. Ma***er 19 June 2024
Thank you Dido for teaching me how to have difficult conversations in constructive ways. I have taken rersponsibilty for my role in the breakdown of our maairage but whether it is savageable still remains up to Ev*** and her ability to let go of the anger and hurt and admit her own role in the breakdown of our marriage. The skills I learned through this has helped me be a more honest and authentic human being, and I endeavour for my behaviour going forward, to have true integrity too. Ma***an 12 September 2024
Nothing can prepare one for losing a child. Losing my son Lu*** at 17 from a sudden Myocardial infarction is easily the worst trauma I have ever endured and quite honestly I did not want to survive it. Thank you Dido for helping me to learn to live with the grief (the price of love) and to find new meaning and a way to go on. Di***er 18 /09/24
Sorry it took me so long to make a review. The hardness of therapy were sometimes quite overwhelming. Undoing a life time of abuse is never easy. This therapist helps you to learn compassion not just for your self but also for the other people in my life. Definitely, the greatest gift I gor back was hope! What I heal in myself I heal in the next generation and society in general. Next year I am going back to school. I am going to "pay it forward" and become either a lawyer or a psychologist who helps abused women and children. This was worth every second and cent. Li***es 24 October 2024
The Counselling Session and walking the Medicine Wheel brought my 2024 to a lovely climax. I have been inspired to let go of that which no longer serves me and apply myself whole heartedly to manifesting my best year yet in 2025. Thank you Di. Me***er 12/12/24
Many thanks for allowing me to experience the Medicine Wheel. The concept of walking around the wheel and allowing all of ones challenges and hardships of this year, to just disappear, made me feel so much lighter! A huge burden has just been lifted off my shoulders and I no longer have to carry the weight of all the problems of the past year. When I walked the other way (Clockwise now), I asked the Universe for all the good things I desire in my life. Peace, Harmony, Good Health etc were some of my requests. Lastly I approached the Centre of the Medicine Wheel and expressed my Gratitude for everything in my life, for now and in the future and I felt such a deep connection with the Universe there, A wonderful sense of Positivity surrounded me and I felt totally comforted. I can honestly say I feel a different person now! Ready for a prosperous, healthy year. Many thanks for a memorable experience! Bi***th 18/12/2024
Thank you for the Shamanic healing session to clear my past and affirm my future which begins today. We had to cancel it last year because of the rain. Thank you for rescheduling it, am glad I didn't miss out. I learned the importance of values and choices. I definitely want to come back for more counselling later this year. So much to learn. Highly recommend. Ja***ck 18 01 2025
