I came to Valerija feeling quite overwhelmed and stuck in my own thoughts. I had tried to ‘figure things out’ on my own for a long time, but nothing really shifted. From the first session, I felt safe in a way I didn’t expect — like I didn’t have to hide or explain myself perfectly. What stood out to me is how she gently guides you to your own answers. It’s not forced, it just unfolds. I started to understand myself on a deeper level and feel more in control of how I respond to things. I feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to myself than I have in a long time. Therapy with Valerija has honestly changed the way I relate to myself and my life.

I joined the Self-Worth Revival program at a time when I was constantly doubting myself. I was overthinking everything — how I look, what people think, whether I’m ‘good enough’. It was exhausting. This work helped me realise how harsh I had been with myself for years. But instead of forcing change, it slowly shifted something deeper. I started speaking to myself differently, trusting myself more, and not needing constant validation. Now I feel more grounded in who I am. I don’t spiral the way I used to, and I actually feel proud of myself. It’s not that life became perfect — it’s that I finally feel like I’m on my own side.

I didn’t realise how much my body was holding until I started working with Valerija. I was constantly anxious, overthinking, and feeling on edge, even when nothing was actually wrong. What was different here is that I didn’t just talk about my feelings — I learned how to be with myself in those moments when everything feels intense. Instead of trying to escape it or fix it quickly, I started to understand what my body needed and how to respond to it. Over time, I noticed I wasn’t abandoning myself in stressful moments anymore. I could pause, support myself, and move through it without spiralling the way I used to. I feel more steady, more trusting in myself, and like I can handle what comes up. That’s been the biggest shift.
