Therese Kells came highly recommended to me by a colleague of hers. She was even better than the recommender said. I had read about NLP and believed, theoretically, in its efficacy but I had never actually experienced it so I was excited to meet tiny Therese whose small stature belies a huge talent. At our very first session, she eliminated a “complex equivalent” I had created around my father (who died when I was young) and candy. I didn’t even know I had done that, but Therese listened attentively and suspected something beneath my words. It seems that the “sweet tooth” I had always had was in reality me trying to feel the “daddy love” I had lost so long before. Now, thanks to Therese’s skill, I no longer feel the compulsive urge to consume sugar foods as a poor substitute for a father’s love because she showed me that I am still, now and always, the recipient of that love.
Therese is not only technically very good at what she does, she also so clearly cares. That is a winning combination that can benefit many. I highly recommend her and I can’t wait for our next session!

Therese changed my relationship to my father forever. He passed away many years ago but I held an enormous amount of resentment and anger toward him. I did not understand him or his behavior toward me. After one session, that all changed. When I think about him now I have compassion in my heart. I understand in his awkward way, he really loved me. A heavy weight has lifted from me. Thanks Therese.

Therese helped me re-claim my dream of completing my novel through re-connecting me with my motivation.

Therese has a very unique gift to be able to listen and understand what a person is feeling (not just what they are saying). This, combined with her years of NLP training allows her to ask the right questions to help you understand yourself better. She did it for me! Earl -MTV CA
Since I now know that agape means unconditional love, and since I have had the both the pleasure and profundity of working with Therese, and having reflected on my experiences with her, I can think of no better description for what she does. Indeed, with any therapeutic modality there are tools and techniques, views and approaches, making up the machinery of the discipline. But what make Therese so special is her huge, accommodating heart, a heart that is wise and accepting, a heart full of empathy, and heart that has allowed me to see myself at my best and my worse in a place of safety. Therese creates rare and precious environment, one infused with unconditional love, a love that is at the core of any real growth and healing. And her love is highly contagious, I might add. She has inspired me and caused me to jettison out dated ways of being and, following her example, become a more loving and generous person. Thank you, Therese! -Austin Shaw
