Client love 💕
It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients who are grappling with the very human struggles of life, relationships, neurodivergence and substance use.
Every day people. People like you, people like me.
“Extremely easy to relate to, she created a safe space from the very beginning which allowed me to be completely transparent and open. I had not expected to feel so comfortable to be able to be so honest and open. I also appreciated her honesty, delivered in a totally genuine way.”
CLIFF, 50s,CANADA
“Game. Changer. Although it has helped being a lot more mentally 'ready' for the decision to overcome my addiction, having your support, accountability & personal experience/understanding has made my journey successful this time around.”
NESS, 40s, VIC
“The coaching has been unbelievably important in taking a break from alcohol and honestly assessing my relationship with it. I knew I always had somewhere to go and someone to speak to if I felt scared or overwhelmed -but because of having that safety net and not feeling alone, I never actually had those negative feelings like I have in the past.”
PAULA, MELBOURNE
“It has helped immensely. Particularly explaining my experiences and the things I struggle with to someone who understood exactly what I was talking about was really valuable. It enabled me to speak freely without fear of judgement, and also the coaching helped explain to me some of the things that were happening and ways to plan and manage my responses.”
JACKIE, BRISBANE
“I found there was a good combination of science and information along with understanding and empathy. I love that she isn't overly attached to any particular recommendation and guides you to find out what works best for you as an individual. She was accessible, she cared and she understood exactly what I was going through.”
GS,ENTREPRENEUR, SYDNEY
“Faye helped put things into perspective and from there (so far) it's been relatively pain free. She is caring, firm and funny. A great combination to engage with when you are trying to stay motivated.. The whole experience was a delight.”
DAVID, 60s, VIC
“I could not have done this without you. You have literally saved my life. “
GERRY, NSW
“I’m the happiest and healthiest I’ve been in decades and it’s thanks to you and the work we’ve been doing together.”
RICK, LONDON
“In a word, “transformational”. The coaching gave me insight into my patterns with alcohol which was extremely valuable and gave me great clarity.
With ADHD, her coaching style and approach was immensely valuable and a game changer in changing my mindset. I am now able to “notice things” as opposed to ruminating certain issues on repeat”
SIMON,USA
“Working with Faye has been so much better than working with anyone else. others in the past who told me what I needed to do to improve/change. In every case, I would fail to do what I had to instructed to do and would get down on myself. Faye's approach seems to be to listen, probe, provide information and resources and help me determine what works best for me. It is an approach that works well for me as it keeps me motivated and in a positive state of mind”
LISA, WA
“Faye is the most knowledgeable and down to earth person. She gives you her full attention and is just so genuine in her support that you feel comfortable and able to be yourself. She's very authentic and just a great person. She just "gets it” and I felt I could count on her.”
TERESA, VIC
“She brought so many tools to the table and didn't silo information like most therapists do. I have been to so many therapists who are against anything they haven't been trained in. It has been so frustrating as I have just ended up being pushed into their version of how I should be treated.”
NIC, NSW
“Faye helped me stay alcohol free during a busy, stressful time of year - Xmas and New Year - and I’m still sober 3 years later.”
MARIE, NEWCASTLE
“I have saved at least 3x the cost in alcohol alone. It’s been worth every cent.”
BELINDA, FAR NORTH QLD
“I'm into my second month of not drinking and what was once a daily habit is not. 6 o'clock comes and goes without me thinking about it. I feel healthier, happier, and have lost the constant low-level anxiety that dogged me”
RACHEL, NZ
“Faye brings a fresh perspective on substance dependency. She speaks with warmth, compassion and understanding - and manages to brighten up the room with humour and the ability to embrace her own human frailty. One guest (at the rehab group sessions) described her perspectives as 'aha' moments. The world definitely needs more Fayes.”
PETER HAYTON, CLINICAL DIRECTOR, BANYANS LUXURY REHAB & WELLNESS CENTRE
“Faye helped me redefine the issues I was having around drinking. I was able to see how poorly alcohol was contributing to my life, and how little it was serving me.
Perhaps most importantly, I was able to see that alcohol was not a necessary requirement for living, as I had come to believe.”
P, 40s,TASMANIA
“Faye takes an approach that is informative and understanding. Her knowledge as a professional and someone in recovery herself is invaluable. No labels, no scare tactics, no shame. If you are curious about your drinking, I’d recommend Faye 100%.”
JOANNE, BRISBANE
“Thank you so much for your help, you always help me work through what’s happening for me, much more than just unhealthy drinking behaviours. I come away a little bit more comfortable with who I am every time.”
BELLE, 30s, BRISBANE
“The past two months with you have been transformational . I have gained so much insight and as a result feel calmer and more confident about the entire situation with alcohol. I really appreciate everything you’ve done.”
HELEN, MELBOURNE
“Faye helped me to identify the reasons I was drinking in order to tackle the root cause. She's relatable and has a great sense of humour! She was also honest with me, but in a gentle way. My short term goal was met, my long term goal of continued to sobriety is on going. Faye provided insight into areas of my life that require attention and in the past, I would have attempted to solve with alcohol.”
SARAH, NORTHERN TERRITORY
“Overall my sessions were a major positive step forward for my life and far exceeded my expectations. Her extensive study and research into her work is apparent. The supporting resources she provided are an extremely valuable tool to have when the sessions have ended. With my ADHD, it also helped me remember what I needed to do too!”
JAMES, DUBLIN
“You helped me immensely and I’ve been sober ever since we worked together (two years ago).Thank you so much Faye, you are a dream for our society.
CARMEN, NSW
“Faye is very well educated and with her lived experience she can help very quickly. The resources were excellent. Her insights and knowledge have helped me stay alcohol-free for 11 months ”
