I visited Fi to help me with a few things. I can definitely say ‘I am so glad I did.' I highly recommended Fi’s professionalism and confidentiality - its of the highest standards. I completed the Richards trauma process (TRTP) with Fi, please give this a go if you suffer from any kind of mental illness, trauma, anxiety or depression. It just works🙋‍♂️

Wondrous You 6-week group art therapy participant

"Art therapy has helped me express things that felt too difficult to put into words in traditional talk therapy. It’s made processing emotions and understanding my internal world feel more accessible by engaging creatively in different ways. Through art-making, I’ve found a way to regulate my nervous system that doesn’t feel emotionally or physically draining—just supportive and grounding."

"Sitting with other women in a safe space, exploring our intuition and voices that have long been silenced, was incredibly moving. The visualisation was vivid, even though I felt a bit distracted at times. I’ve always been interested in tapping, and I loved learning more about it. At first, I felt scared and self-judging when it came to the creative activity, but as the session unfolded, feelings of sadness, connection, and curiosity rose to the surface. I would absolutely love more time and space to deepen the experience—and I’d be thrilled to attend more events like this in the future. You've opened a can of worms I’m truly ready to explore!"

"Everything about the session was helpful and enjoyable. The visualisation was a beautiful experience, and I really appreciated the tapping—it was a little different to what I’ve done before, in a good way. I loved the creative activity once I got going, and reflections from the past week naturally surfaced as I created. I’d definitely be interested in attending more events like this in the future. Thanks, Fi—I really enjoyed it."

"What I valued most was sharing with the group and hearing the experiences of other women—it was deeply connecting. The visualisation helped slow me down and gently moved me out of my head, which I really needed. While tapping isn’t usually my thing, I still found it interesting. The creative activity was great, and feelings of love and thankfulness arose for me during the session. I would have loved more time to share. Thank you so much, Fi—you are so wise. It was truly beautiful!"
