“In my one to one work with Viv, she consistently and gently guided me to greater clarity, enabling me to connect to my body. At the same time, she is able to hold the complex political realities which we all live in but never loses sight of the love inside. I really feel her care and wisdom and it enables me to be a better version of myself. I always feel better after our sessions.“

“I believe that I am particular, sensitive and careful. Trust is important to me. Viv met me, each time, with flexible and careful presence. I felt safe and held, met where I was and invited to progress on my journey. Viv has rare gifts, integrity, sensitivity and skill. I am so glad, so grateful, for the opportunity to work with her.”

“I was so impressed and grateful for how much we were able to shift in 2 hours with your perspective and guidance! There is more work to be done, but conversations are now a lot more possible, which is brilliant.”

“Viv has an incredible intuition for what people need – whether that’s space to speak, time to process, or just someone to sit with difficult emotions alongside them. She doesn’t shy away from what’s hard and instead creates a space where feelings can be acknowledged and worked through. She also has a way of noticing needs that are unspoken. Viv’s ability to hold space for people and guide them toward resolution with care and respect is remarkable. I feel so fortunate to have had her help, and know others will too.”

“I’m so grateful for your help in transforming pain into peace and understanding. Thanks for being there with me in a non judgemental way. It meant more than I can express in words.“

“I feel fortunate to have worked with Viv several times at moments where I needed skilled accompaniment for self-healing or inner exploration. For those already in touch with their own feelings and body sensations, Viv is the ideal guide. Her ability to hold space firmly but sensitively, and her combination of gentle, clear questions and timely reflections open up the chance to meet oneself with attentiveness and care. I came away from our last session feeling seen, heard and cared for, and more importantly equipped to continue offering further attention to the parts of myself that were revealed.“

“Viv, it is such a privilege to see you in action. You are a skilled, thoughtful, rigourous and joyful facilitator and holder of space. Such an honour to be alongside you in this journey and learning from and with you.”

“I so loved your facilitation and the planning and timing and the sense of inclusion. openness and hope, which very much rested in your holding the group with such care.”

“One of the most meaningful events I have been to, and I have been to many. I have been left feeling held, inspired and connected to what is real. Thank you, immense gratitude and I look forward to returning.”

“Today has been a space of safety, richness, deep experience and care. Thank you!”

“I just wanted to say how wonderful your energy, communication and skills of seeing the bigger picture are. Really appreciated by me and others.”

“Viv has been a solid rock over recent times. We have hosted mediations and developed systems of support together. Viv has amongst her strengths, clear visions for better systems and a light touch when implementing them.”

“Viv is highly valued by all within the GMHAN. She plays a pivotal role as a sense-maker, a facilitator, a mediator and a gatherer, analyser and communicator of data.”

“Viv has been invaluable. She listened to the challenge, understood where our needs lay and brought a wealth of experience. What is also great about Viv is her delivery – it is simple and reassuring. You can test her and your own thinking from lots of different angles and she will entertain all manner of random questions. By bringing this open and patient approach, the process has greater validity. She was also willing to try a novel approach to the process, reflecting the unique needs of our project.”

“I feel motivated and empowered to learn more ways to integrate nvc into my personal life and relationships!”

“I loved working with Viv on Oxfam’s ‘Behind the Brands’ global website.  It was a complex and important project with many stakeholders.  It was her role as a strategist that I most valued.  She has a rare ability to step back from an issue, see the big picture but always with an eye on practical details and the realities of implementation.  She helped us assess, prioritise and clarify our requirements and was instrumental in turning those into a feasible project.”

“Viv played a crucial role in the development of both the strategy and production of Amnesty.org. Her skills and knowledge are both varied and in-depth allowing her to always find the right questions to ask to bring us to the keys issues we had to resolve.”
