Juna recently supported my 12 year-old son, who was struggling with the loss of his grandad. It had a huge impact on him - he went from being a happy, confident boy to feeling upset most of the time. He lost his confidence and no longer wanted to go to school.

He met with Juna weekly, and she was brilliant from the very first session. She put him at ease instantly, which allowed him to open up about how he was feeling and what he was struggling with. Juna helped him understand his emotions, gave him practical techniques to manage overwhelming thoughts, and supported him in coping with difficult situations at school when he felt upset.

Juna was also incredibly supportive to me throughout the process. Her guidance helped me understand how best to support my son at home, which was invaluable.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Juna to anyone, regardless of age. She is truly incredible and helped my son regain his confidence. He is now back to his usual happy self, and for that we are extremely grateful.

I had been struggling with emetophobia (fear of vomiting) since I was about 4/5 years old. I didn’t know life without it and before my sessions with Juna, I was quite skeptical anything could help as it was so consuming.

When I reached out to Juna my life was revolved around preventing myself from being sick, I carried antisickness tablets everywhere, washed my hands over and over, scanned everyone around me to see if they looked unwell, avoided many places and cancelled many plans to avoid to avoid the risk of being around someone vomiting. It was impacting my relationships and I worried I’d never be able to have children if my thoughts and anxieties around vomit continued.

During EMDR I noticed a shift, I was sleeping again, I started making plans again, I no longer carry antisickness tablets everywhere, I no longer scan the room, I don’t feel afraid on public transport anymore. I feel like im living a normal life and im so grateful of the support Juna offered.

Phobias can feel very isolating and often feels like people don’t understand. Juna was able to understand exactly what was going on for me and where the phobia stemmed from through unpicking my past and getting to know more about me as a person. She had so much compassion for what I was experiencing and supported me to get to a much better place.

I couldn’t recommend Juna enough. She adapts, listens, understands and personalises her support to meet the needs of who she is working with.

Thank you Juna for everything you have done for me. I will forever be grateful or the incredible support you have offered. I’m very excited for the future thanks to you

I’ve had such a positive experience with Juna 🙂 She uses a mix of conventional and less conventional therapeutic techniques, including tapping (EFT) and EMDR, which I wasn’t sure about at first—but it’s honestly been really helpful for managing stress and feeling more balanced. EMDR helped me to overcome some very disturbing memories.

She’s super friendly, easy to talk to, and makes you feel comfortable right away. Nothing ever feels awkward or rushed, and you can tell she genuinely cares.

I’d definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone supportive who offers a slightly different approach that helps you feel more grounded, understood, and able to move forward.

Thank you Juna 🙂

If you’re someone wanting to get professional therapy to help you break down your thoughts or deal with any of life’s challenges I highly recommend Juna and her expertise in EMDR! Her ability to ask the right questions, to listen so intently and bring forth the root cause of whatever beliefs you have that may be holding you back is absolutely amazing. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had, the EMDR was so effective and helpful. Highly recommend booking yourself in to see if this is something that would also work for you. Thank you Juna!

I am posting this review on behalf of my wife Judy Gisborne
I recently had a fall in Cyprus resulting in fractures to my shoulder and elbow. My GP advised I contact a therapist to help me deal with the trauma of this event. I saw Juna for 5 sessions and from the beginning her advice was practical and easy to apply.Her manner was professional at all times but also warm and friendly. I immediately began to feel better after my first session and the continued through all my sessions. I cannot recommend Juna highly enough and will not hesitate to contact her again if needed

Juna has been so helpful in supporting me to overcome my claustrophobia and fear of being trapped that would come on in different settings, to the point where I couldn’t even think about being in an enclosed space. We worked on it through a range of techniques and I am now able to be in enclosed and small spaces. Thank you Juna!

Juna has helped me a lot through my journey, she is very understanding and knowledgeable. She understood my issues and pointed them out to me. I was comfortable in opening up to her. She managed to fit me in for last minute appointments and helped me through my trauma very quickly. She is not money hungry and will help you a lot in very little sessions. I would definitely recommend her, you are in safe hands.

Have had a very rewarding experience with Juna. Sensitively helping me to address issues, through EMDR, that I haven't processed for most of my life. Many thanks to Juna and I offer recommendation without hesitation.

Highly recommended! I have had a number of sessions with Juna to talk about imposter syndrome and intrusive thoughts, and she has given me some valuable tools to help me manage these, and although she has explained EMDR I have never felt pushed towards any one technique; she really took the time to understand me and what would work best in my case.

I look forward to continuing my progress with Juna going forward, and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone thinking about seeking therapy.
