What our clients say about Quest for Success...

'I have been fortunate to work with some outstanding colleagues in a career spanning 30+ years encompassing most business sectors. I have seldom come across people who bring together the compelling set of business competencies, energy and commitment that I have witnessed in Christine Dawson. If you have the good fortune to work with her prepare to be challenged and prepare to change.'

B. Payne, Head of Innovation, Public Sector

"I had been in my current role at work for about 18 months and felt I needed to do something about my career development but didn't really know what to do about it. Adding to that I was suffering from quite a large lack of confidence. Chris helped me understand myself better and helped me see what qualities and strengths I have. In a matter of 6 months I went from lacking direction and motivation to being confident in my abilities, knowing what I should do and was going out there and doing it. I am confident in the knowledge that I have done this myself but Chris helped me realise that I could do it. Chris really cares and has great empathy and understanding which was vital the success of my coaching. I would thoroughly recommend Chris - she has made a significant and lasting difference to my confidence at work."

J. Urwin, Business Analyst, Public Sector

"Working with Chris as my coach has certainly exceeded my expectations. I approached Chris to help me find direction in my career and to rediscover the confidence in myself and my abilities Now that I know what is important to others and to me it is much easier to achieve my goals. Each coaching session has clear goals yet is enjoyable and supportive. I now feel more confident and positive about work and future prospects and ambition"

J. McHugh, Technical Project Entry Facilitator, Public Sector

It was a joy to work with Chris to combat my stage freight. She was understanding, compassionate and really wanted to help. I was sceptical and I didn't think it would be possible to overcome my fear, but in no time at all I was able to perform with the confidence I had only ever dreamed about! The coaching was extremely enjoyable, thought provoking and life changing. She did a great job and would highly recommend her.

Christine has so much energy and motivation that I could not help but also be fully energised and motivated too!  Christine has such an easy and confident manner, that it was easy to relax and work with her.  Christine's confidence in the sessions meant that I could easily let go of my problems and be completely at ease.  I now feel so empowered and motivated myself that I know I can go forward with my life the way I want it to be!  Thanks for the opportunity to work with you Christine, I would recommend you to anyone!

S Patel, Middlesex

When I first made contact with Christine, she told me about a personal breakthrough session, something which I had not heard about. When I was told that most of her clients needed only one day to be able to make considerable changes, I was not at first so sure that this would be enough for me.  This uncertainty was short lived and within the first hour of my breakthrough session I was made to feel totally relaxed and at ease.  Christine made me feel that no one else mattered as she gave me her total commitment and showed great patience throughout the day, especially at one point when it became very challenging for me.  Because of her manner I soon built trust in her professionalism and ability to assist me to move forward, this was achieved with the use of Time Line Therapy and Hypnotherapy to name a couple of the techniques I was taught.  I left the session feeling very relaxed and with a sense of direction and purpose to my future.

A few weeks since the session I have made significant changes in my life and I can say that I would not have done so without the break through session I had with Christine.  I would always recommend such a professional person that Christine is to anyone who needs to experience inspired changes in their life as a result of a breakthrough session.

"I have to admit I was skeptical but as I had been suffering from a lack of motivation for some time I thought it was time to do something about it. Christine explained what could be done and was confident she could help me focus. I have to say it worked. I thoroughly enjoyed the session with Christine and came away feeling full of motivation and inspiration; and that feeling, I'm glad to say, hasn't gone away"

P. Kok 

In less than 4 hours Christine helped me to rid myself of lots of negative emotional baggage brought on from years of physical abuse and drug addiction. Christine achieved this in less than a day when other conventional treatments failed to do in almost 10 years.  

Thanks

Michael, Nottingham

After spending  one evening with Christine and Time Line Therapy I was relieved of a life time of emotional baggage, leaving me free to get on with my life "emotional baggage free". I found the whole experience very enjoyable and a positive life-changing experience. The benefits have been great, improving my personal and professional relationships. I would recommend Time Line Therapy and Christine's techniques to everyone". 

Pam Pelham Managing Director, AMP Wire Limited.

Have you ever felt so low that you wondered if you would ever feel normal again because you had exhausted all of the options available to you and none of them worked?

This was the desperate situation in which I found myself during October 2009. Following the birth of my first child in November 2002, I suffered from severe post-natal depression. This was extremely debilitating and confusing given that I had a beautiful baby boy. At this time, I was prescribed anti-depressants and referred to a psychologist on a private basis. After a number of sessions at a significant cost, my CBT treatment was complete.  However, I was left feeling marginally better and that really we had only scratched the surface of the issues that I had.

Over the next seven years, my depression frequently reared its ugly head and I continued to search for solutions to remove this permanent black blanket that seemed to insist on wrapping itself around me. The solutions that I sought included counselling, self-help books, reiki and medication. Nothing seemed to work on a permanent basis and because there had not been any trigger that I was consciously aware of, it seemed that I just had to accept that this chemical imbalance, as the doctors referred to it, would remain with me for the rest of my life.  I just had to manage it.

In August 2009, I discovered I was pregnant with my second son.  As with my eldest child, this baby was longed for and was definitely a welcome addition to our family. However, during September and October, the feelings of another bout of depression began to surface, only this time on a scale that I had never previously known. The magnitude of how I was feeling was over-whelming and I quickly realised that I could not manage the situation this time.  In fact, the only way that I could see to resolve this was to end my life and very real suicidal thoughts occupied my every waking hour.  This was despite the love and support of my wonderful husband and family.  I knew that my last hope was to try something new and radical.

It was during my search on the internet that I came across Time Line Therapy™, it seemed to be the perfect answer but also in some ways too good to be true.  Prepared to give anything a try and reaching out for a solution, I found that Christine at Quest for Success delivered this therapy and contacted her to see if it could help me.

When I had my initial appointment with Christine, she explained to me that the process could work for me but that I needed to own it. She would provide the tools and guidance but I had to trust in the process and to want to change. At the initial session, Christine also explained the principles and methodology behind Time Line Therapy™ and showed me how to find my time line and navigate around it. We booked the next session in for two days later and this was to be when the therapy itself took place. I arrived at the session with a mixture of emotions I was excited but also scared, wondering what would happen if this did not work.

During the session we worked on five key emotions: anger, sadness, fear, hurt, and guilt. For each one, I moved along my timeline and through the questions that Christine asked, removed the negative emotion and took the key lessons that had been learnt from that experience.  I soon began to realise that I had to trust in what my unconscious mind was telling me. Some of the answers to Christine's questions did not make sense to my conscious self but I allowed myself to say them.

After each emotion had been dealt with, I began to feel lighter.  Almost instantaneously the blanket that had surrounded me for so long began to lift. Some emotions were more draining than others to deal with and there were more lessons to be learned with some of them. However, the reassuring part of Time Line Therapy™ for me was that I never had to enter into the emotion or the situation that I was dealing with. I hovered above it, at a safe distance on my timeline and if I did start to get too involved in it Christine would guide me away, using the techniques that she had previously taught me.

The effects of the therapy were amazing - instantly I felt like a different person.  I felt lighter, brighter and ready to face the world again! After only one session! As the positive feelings I had were so strong and in such a stark contrast to those I had been experiencing, I wondered how long they would last for. Well, I can confidently report that almost a year after receiving my treatment, the positive emotions are still here and I feel as strong as ever. Time Line Therapy™ has truly changed my life.  My thought processes are different, the way in which I deal with challenging situations has changed. I am in control for the first time in a number of years. It is not just me who has noticed the change  those closest to me have seen a significant improvement and are still incredulous at the difference. People often comment that I look better than they have seen me looking for years  I guess that feeling good on the inside does reflect on the outside. For the first time, I am living in the now and loving my life. 

I will always be grateful to Time Line Therapy™ and to Christine for providing the tools to enable me to totally change my life.
