Vevena has been very helpful in my journey through therapy. She is always able to help me see situations from a different perspective than my own, which has immensely helped me with my anxiety. She is always very responsive when I send her messages at times when I am struggling. She truly listens to me during our sessions and always provides feedback and things I should further reflect on. She was even willing to help me get started with my CV/Resume, which I had been struggling with for years due to feelings of not being good enough. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.

I would recommend Vevena 100%! As a first time therapy, I was pleasantly surprise at how open and reassuring she was, always sharing her knowledge and wisdom. She provides great "homework" and advice and keeps track on what has been discussed. Thank you a million!

Vevena is very down to earth, and very experienced. I have taken a lot of her wisdom and practices into my daily life, and seen a great improvement. She gives great homework and resources, and has helped me find a more centered and joyful perspective, as well as helping me a lot with my self esteem
