Words cannot describe how much better I feel after speaking to Kellie. From day one she made me feel comfortable enough to open up to her and discuss the difficulties I have faced in life without being judged. I truly recommend her to anyone who is going through a hard time and wants to be heard. She has changed my life for the better More...

Kellie has honestly changed my world with our compassionate therapy we are working through together. Since day 1 Kellie made me feel comfortable to open up to her and go through certain things I haven’t been able to face up to previously. I feel like I have made so many positive changes and it’s all thanks to YooKanToo therapy. Kellie also helped me with a slight chocolate eating habit I had through something called Neuro- Linguistic Programming. This had an immediate effect and my chocolate addiction has improved drastically. I highly recommend Kellie to anyone who is thinking about therapy sessions for any and all reasons. Thank you so much Kellie for helping me change my life. I’m truly so grateful for the help and guidance. More...

I've had my initially therapy with Kelly couple of years ago, but find it helpful to have a catch up and top up sessions due to my stressful work. She's got a gift of making you feel at ease and understood. She will make you slow down and listen to yourself. Would definitely recommend, thank-you Kellie. More...

Kellie introduced me to an absolutely new realm of compassion helping not just to heal ancient traumas but although think (and feel) through the best ways to navigate challenges I'm currently facing. Extremely interesting in a way "I wish I knew it was possible" approach. I like that she combines different techniques. EDMR was super helpful More...

Where do I even begin? I have issues with addiction and was pushing everyone away. From our first meeting, I knew Kellie would be the person to help me - She read me like a book and spotted the inner sadness. Over the next few weeks, we worked together to uncover the root cause of my issues, digging deep and replaying past events. Yes there were tears along the way, but that is all part of the process and the road to healing I am now closer than ever to my family, and far more willing to open up to others. Thank you Kellie from the bottom of my heart More...

Before starting therapy, I was worried about connecting with someone. I wanted to work with a therapist who could make me feel comfortable enough to cry, someone who could also make me laugh and empower me to feel in control of the sessions. That's exactly how Kellie makes me feel. I can't describe the feeling I have after each session, it's like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Understanding the factors that influence my thoughts and actions has tremendously helped me become a better version of myself. Dealing with addiction and processing childhood trauma has been challenging, but Kellie's help has been incredible. When I first read all the positive comments, I was skeptical as it sounded a little bit “too good” but now I understand why. If you’re thinking of starting therapy, then just do it, you won’t regret it x More...

Kellie has been very precise in connecting with my inner self, pacient while listening and adviceable in ways that may bring possiblities - she is very cautious with it. I have sensed no oppression from my inner feels. Very gentle, and percise techniques, Kellie is well prepared for what's comming. Just makes sure you are ready for honesty (be honest with yourself) and don't push back, rather allow your emotions flow through (Kellie genuenly allows such feelings to come by) which greatly help to go in deeper with understanding and discovering yourself. Kellie has made sure I am comfortable for such experience. Experience I have had, was alike to having a session with an Angel. You're here reading this. Meaning you've found what your're looking for. - I believe so. More...

I've been having sessions with Yookantoo therapy now for 4 weeks, and the results have been beyond my expectations. I suppose I didn't really know what to expect initially, but Kellie immediately put me at ease from the very first session. She is friendly, considerate, and calming. I really felt that she listened attentively to me at all times, and I felt her empathy for my situation. She helped to guide me skillfully through some aspects of my past that I didn't realise were there. After 4 weeks I feel so much lighter and have deep respect for something I wasn't sure was going to work. I can't recommend Kellie highly enough. I'm definitely going to continue. More...

I’ve been having sessions with Kellie for over a year now and I honestly cannot recommend her enough. Her friendly, calming and understanding approach makes you feel so comfortable, with absolutely no judgement. I go into my sessions sometimes feeling like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders and finish feeling light. I can’t thank Kellie enough for her patience and understanding over the last year, she truly is the most wonderful person. If you feel like you are struggling don’t think twice about contacting Kellie for help, she will welcome you with nothing but kindness and warmth. More...

Kellie has helped me save my own life!! I have gone from incredibly anxious and scared of life to calmer more confident and noticeably happier. I now recognise my triggers and I had quite a few as a result of childhood physical and mental abuse. I am more self aware and finding I’m not even reacting to my triggers. I have been able to travel alone on group tours and had positive experiences. I am now about to travel to Japan completely solo something a year ago would have been unthinkable! Kellie is an exceptionally talented Therapist who is warm, kind and humble. When I thanked her she replied that she only made me cry at the right time and that I had done the work. Beautiful lady inside and out. More...

Sessions with Kellie are very comfortable, you feel at ease immediately and you know are in a safe environment. Kellie is fab at her job (she doesn’t show its her ‘job’, as she is so passionate & caring). She guides you through your past experiences with such expertise and knowledge … and recognises behaviours/feelings in yourself that you’re not even aware of sometimes! The best thing is the self awareness she guides you to. Awareness of your emotions and behaviours, so you can take control and understand them. Leading to the realisation you can be comfortable and confident in being your true authentic self! You will only wish you had done it sooner… More...

Kellie helped me overcome my phobia of flying. I hadn't flown for 5 years having had occasions where I would have panic attacks and be forced to exit the plane before take-off. This year, since my sessions with Kellie, I have taken 5 flights without any panic attacks, and am getting more comfortable each time. I'm now confident that I'll be able to keep traveling and going further afield. I couldn't be more grateful to Kellie, and I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get over this! More...

After struggling with anxiety and panic attacks that seemed to be getting worse each week, I decided it was time to get some help and that’s when I came across Kellie. The progress I made in the next couple of months was more than I could have ever hoped. With Kellie’s help, I processed years of suppressed emotions and started to understand more about myself each session we had. Right now, I am at a point where I no longer need help and that is what Kellie’s main goal is from the start. I would recommend Kellie to anyone struggling.
