Report
I cannot recommend Janni highly enough!! I entered Brilliance Counselling at a very low point in my life, and Janni's sessions gave me the strength turn negatives into positives ..her past experience, knowledge and methods, are clearly what make her connect on a deep and amazing level. Wonderful and invaluable counselling.

Report
Jani was amazing from the moment I booked in my first appointment, right through to the sessions themselves. She dug deep into issues in a confidential, non-judgmental way and restored confidence again that went missing years ago. All with good humour and compassion in a safe, comfortable environment. Her Monday night meditation sessions were a valuable tool in between sessions to help calm the mind and showed me a life-long practice I'll hold onto, Thank you so, so much Jani.
