Client Stories

Before Ciúin, I was very anxious and stressed, which was having a major impact on my day-to-day life. As a new mum, I felt my anxiety was taking up so much of my time and was stopping me from enjoying precious moments with my baby; I was desperate to make a change. After working with Lesley, I can't believe the difference Ciúin has had; I am a much more confident, carefree person (something I haven't felt for years) with a completely new and positive outlook on life. Not only did this help me as a new mum, but it helped with all aspects of me. I would highly recommend to anyone struggling with anxiety to give this a try; Lesley is wonderful and will put you at ease.

Lesley is a superstar, honestly she has changed my life. I have never had someone so invested in helping me and she is so genuine. Lesley told me I wasn't an addict and she hated that label and she is so right, I wasn't, alcohol was just what I needed to make me numb. I now know what was causing it all and it all started when I was a kid. Unbelievable how she helped me put all the pieces together and helped me move on. I couldn't recommend her more I'm only 26 and couldn't see any life for myself but honestly now the skies the limit. Thank you Lesley, honestly from the bottom of my heart.

My experience with Lesley at Ciúin Transformational Therapy has been truly transformative. Before beginning therapy, I often doubted myself, struggled with confidence and found it difficult to recognise my own strengths. From our first session, Lesley created a warm, supportive and completely non-judgemental space where I felt comfortable being open and honest. Through her guidance, insight and encouragement, I have developed a much greater understanding of myself and the patterns that were holding me back. I have learned to challenge my self-limiting beliefs, trust my own judgement and approach situations with far more confidence than I ever thought possible. The personal growth I have experienced has been significant. I feel more self-aware, more resilient and more comfortable in my own skin. I have gained tools and perspectives that continue to help me navigate both personal and professional challenges with greater clarity and self-belief. Lesley has a remarkable ability to help you see your potential, even when you can't see it yourself. I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact our work together has had on my life and would wholeheartedly recommend Ciúin Transformational Therapy to anyone looking to build confidence, grow as a person and create meaningful, lasting change.

I was referred onto Lesley from a friend that had been to her, I travelled through to motherwell because I prefer being there in person I felt I would get more out of it. Lesley spent over 4 hrs working with me but it didn't feel even like 1 hour. I felt lighter straight away, I didn't know if I would stop with the drink and drugs but so far I don't feel that I need them any more which isn't like me. The recording was something I didn't expect to be so powerful either and I look forward to listening to it every day, even though I am past the 21 days, listening just makes me feel so good and I see myself so differently now. I'm still noticing changes in how I respond to situations that used to trigger me but just don't any longer. Truly remarkable. I would recommended to anyone, even if I felt half as good as I do now it would still have been worth it.

I came to Lesley feeling totally lost, low, overeating and struggling with anxiety. I started the 28 day program (hopeful) but even I surprised myself after the initial 3hr session I felt a subtle difference it was strange. I felt a strange calm and could see why I had been feeling the way I had been and why I was overeating and so low all the time. I now feel very content within myself, I had always been so critical and down on myself before but now I'm confident and I honestly can't remember the last time I felt that way. Lesley is lovely, gentle and really looks after you, she's a special person that really cares

I had tried counselling before but never felt like I was getting anywhere. This was completely different and to be honest I was a bit nervous. As a parent it is hard to see the judgmental looks. A few bottles of wine each day helped but nobody understood. Lesley understood me in a way no one else had, and for the first time I felt truly heard and not judged, she told me I was just getting by the only way I knew how. Now I don't need the wine, and the impact this journey has had on my confidence and self-worth has been remarkable. I could never thank Lesley enough for giving me my life back.

I was sceptical at first, but I had tried everything and spent years trying to stop drinking, I never really knew why I kept drinking when all I wanted to do was stop but the results speak for themselves. After years, I finally feel free. The approach is gentle but incredibly powerful. The overthinking and constant emptiness inside is gone, I honestly could thank Lesley enough, she's an amazing person, only wish I had found her sooner.
