Catia Soares

"I’m really glad I signed up for the Action for Happiness workshop, Catia was engaging and fun and is knowledgeable on so many levels. It was a lovely bit of connection in a safe space with honest and kind participants which made it a really special thing to be involved in. I learnt a lot from Catia and had the opportunity to share and talk with others and learn from them as well , I hope there is another and I will look forward to it."

"I have been working with Catia for a while now and her support has been invaluable to me; I could not recommend her more highly. I started working with Catia when I was struggling with anxiety and depression. Through weekly psychology sessions my mental health has improved enormously, Catia has helped me to grow in confidence, make sense of the past and find ways to move forwards, always with compassion and understanding. "

"I have really enjoyed working with Catia over the last few months. Over this time, my perception of food and the idea of “health” has truly changed for the better. What I love about Catia’s approach is that she focuses on a holistic view of health in our lives, something that we have to take care of both mentally and physically. I have worked with her to not only improve my relationship with food, but also in terms of my general well-being, such as reducing stress and improving sleep. "

" Catia is very understanding, kind, patient sympathetic and practical. Her advice combines wellness and psychologically practical cognitive tools for overcoming deep emotional trauma and daily challenges. Her optimistic yet deeply empathetic manner I have found conducive to applying positive attitudes to the difficulties that I have faced both emotionally and physically. I would recommend Catia and trust her with a broad spectrum of my well-being needs."

" I know the idea of life-changing seems hyperbolic, but I can honestly say working with Catia has changed my life. I have spent the last year coming to terms with grief. Not only did I end up putting on weight, I also felt awful. Tired, bloated, unmotivated. Catia was not only lovely and friendly, but extremely professional & comprehensive. She managed to put together a complete overhaul of my dietary habits, and some aspects of self-care. I can’t recommend working with her enough."

"Wow what a fantastic and well-rounded workshop experience. I felt so warmly welcomed by Catia who seems full of empathy and compassion. I felt we were each in safe hands as each participants' contribution was so incredibly valued. She held the space really well for each of us. Because of this I was made to feel at ease with strangers and learned so much from the presentation and the discussion Catia facilitated. "
