“Janette makes one feel at ease, that it’s a safe place to open up and discuss issues and feel understood. Makes you feel that your views/comments and those of others are important and valued. It helped me so much to hear that she has suffered from depression and how she looks after herself. I wish I could take her home”

I have never met anyone with these skills before, she is remarkable. All at the same time she is loving, caring, supportive and empowering. In her presentation she is a quiet, strong, clear, powerful presence. She made the experience what it was, life transforming, I feel so different, confident and good enough” Mrs J |
