Honni is warm, wise and welcoming. She listens well as she gently helps us draw back the curtains of our lives to allow things to become clearer. Spending 3 Zoom sessions with her during this season of my life has been timely and a real bonus for where I’m at. I’m incredibly grateful I committed time with Honni and know that I’ll knock on her door again if/when I need to...thanks so much for sharing your strengths and gifts, Honni 🌻

Report
When I met Honni my feelings about my life were that I was 'doing it wrong'. I was anxious, depressed at times, generally unhappy and not much enjoying things. I didnt know what to do about it. I knew I needed support but have worked with numerous psychologists over the years without feeling any lasting improvement. With Honni its different. Shes easy to talk to and completely non-judgemental. Shes passionate about helping women like me and highly skilled at pinpointing the issues we need to talk about. Shes teaching me that its largely the stories I tell myself that determine

Honni has a way of asking exactly the right questions to help me help myself. I can go from feeling utterly helpless at the beginning of the hour to feeling empowered and capable by the end of it with a practical road map to uphold my new perspective. So blessed to have you and your healing gift Honni. Thank you.
