"Working with Pippa has been truly life-changing. From the very first session, I felt heard, supported, and completely understood. Pippa's compassionate, insightful and unique approach helped me navigate my way to recovery from debilitating vestibular migraine symptoms, and I am now living life fully thanks to her. Pippa provided me with practical tools and a safe space to explore my deepest fears and emotions, leading to true growth and healing. I can’t recommend Pippa highly enough to anyone seeking strong guidance, clarity, and change on their journey through chronic symptoms and/or life's greatest challenges. Pippa is a true expert in her field."

“Pippa is an extremely skilled practitioner that helped me overcome chronic dizziness. She has the unique ability to hold space and a safe container where I was able to be vulnerable and deeply feel. She is an empathetic and empowering guide. She is a light in the darkness, helping navigate repressed emotions beckoning to be felt and released. Her soft yet strong nature feels like a warm hug when you’re lacking support and belief in yourself. Pippa helped me release from my own limiting thoughts and beliefs and I will forever be grateful for her expertise and compassion. I highly recommend hiring her as a coach if you are facing any type of mind-body symptoms.”

"Working with Pippa was an absolute pleasure. I am delighted with the progress that I made thanks to her coaching and guidance. Pippa helped turbocharge my recovery from Neural Circuit Dizziness and my remaining physical symptoms are now fading into the background as I continue to apply the techniques I have learned from her.
Before I started Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) therapy with Pippa, I was still struggling at home with my dizziness symptoms and daily life was difficult. Through my private sessions with Pippa I learned that my body had stored up unprocessed emotions and memories from past trauma that I thought I had forgotten about but in truth I had never really healed fully from. Pippa taught me how to safely lean into those emotions, feel them and allow my body to safely express them and give them space to pass through me but at no point did I ever feel alone in the process.
Pippa’s approach to therapy is unlike anything I have ever experienced before and I only wish I had discovered this type of treatment sooner. Her methods are very different to any other therapist or psychologist I have worked with. Some of the things we covered in my private sessions with Pippa I have previously talked through with other counsellors in the past and although that helped to get things out in the open and released some deep emotions that were stuck it didn’t change my overall levels of depression and anxiety. Something deep still lingered for some reason and just talking about my most traumatic experiences seemed to increase my physical symptoms.
The traditional counselling model and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy treatments pushed on to me by my GP and the Employee Assistance Programme through my Employer did not work for me. I didn’t know what was really wrong with my distressed mind-body state or how to fix it until I began my AEDP journey. Pippa was with me every step of the way as I came face to face with some of my deepest and most terrifying traumatic experiences, most of them from my childhood but some more recent as well. We worked at a gentle pace though them all. That was important. Pippa is very gentle in her approach. There is no rush and no pressure. With Pippa’s knowledge of applying AEDP together we changed the narrative behind those traumatic experiences.
My sessions with Pippa discovered a wounded, neglected and abandoned inner child and we worked with my adult self to nurture and restore him, giving him the voice that had been lost. We identified the importance of Superheroes that had been missing from his life and we made them the centre of his world. We even encouraged him to hold on to his favourite Superheroes as he transitioned into adult life. This was even more important when we took into account the fact that I am Neurodivergent. With Pippa’s support my current adult self allowed and encouraged my inner child to find a connection with Superheroes to whose characters and personalities he could closely relate to and aspire to be like. At the end of every session Pippa always made sure that I was left in a calm and peaceful state of mind. I learned that Supergirl was very important to my Inner Child and my sessions always closed with Pippa encouraging me to picture my inner child flying with Supergirl or simply being hugged by his favourite Superhero in a warm and comforting embrace. Pippa allowed me to bring my favourite Supergirl plush doll to my sessions that helped to make there healing feel more real. That’s when I realised just how powerful and beautiful AEDP therapy can be. As my programme of treatment with Pippa progressed, long after each appointment I was beginning to notice a transformation in me that at times felt almost magical.
Pippa is one of the most compassionate, dedicated and supportive therapists I have ever met. She always made me feel validated, heard and understood. Most of all Pippa made me feel safe and gave me the confidence to challenge and change the narrative of my past trauma into something far more positive. I feel eternally grateful and extremely fortunate to have found her and I don’t think I would have fully healed without her unique style of encouragement and nurturing.
Let me be frank and honest. Pippa Braund saved my life. I was in a really dark place because of my symptoms with Neural Circuit Dizziness and from my very first encounter with her it felt like I was being rescued by a real-life Superhero. Pippa took me from a position of complete distress and helplessness to a place where I now feel empowered and confident. I can’t thank her enough for helping me to reconnect with myself and leaving me with a newfound sense of freedom that is allowing me to finally discover and be both my whole true self and the person who I have always wanted to be."
