Testimonials

I cannot recommend this Fear of Driving Program highly enough, Kathleen helped me to change my life.

At 40 I was an extremely nervous learner and absolutely hated and feared driving. I had tried many other driving schools and nobody compared, Kathleen was the first instructor who actually listened to my fears and worked with them, using her unique methods and techniques. Within weeks she had me driving safely, competently and, more importantly, happily for the first time in my life! I then went on to Pass my Driving Test!   

Kathleen is in a league of her own compared to anybody else and I’ll be forever indebted to her.

Kathleen has changed my life, for years I dreaded driving due to feeling extremely anxious about driving. I had a huge fear and I did not want to drive, with three in depth 2 hour sessions and with Kathleen’s amazing guidance and support my fear has passed. A fear I thought I would have for life. I am driving safely everyday after Kathleen’s coaching skills and with confidence I honestly thought I would never gain. Kathleen is patient, professional and has a passion for her role as a driving instructor and NLP/QTT practitioner. 

Thank you.

I booked a course of 6 confidence building lessons with Kathleen as I had been trying to learn to drive on and off for about 7 years without ever being able to get over the nervousness and anxiety stage. I was also 4 months pregnant so really wanted to get confident before my baby arrived. My fear/nerves were so bad that even contemplating driving somewhere would give me a nauseous feeling in my stomach. My car battery even had to be replaced about 3 times as it just died due to not being driven! Kathleen’s approach deals with fear/anxiety at a holistic level and she really gets underneath the causes of your fear and breaks them down one by one. She teaches you that it’s natural to feel fear but that you can control how you react to that fear and that makes all the difference. While teaching this she is also teaching you about the mechanics of the car and the technical skills for driving and above all sayings and mantras to make you a safe driver for life, not just for your test. One of her actions I found most effective was all the support you get from her. She followed up most lessons with a text or email to say how well I was doing and to reinforce things I had learned that day. She really cared about my individual needs and difficulties and was totally committed to helping to get me through them. 

I would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone struggling with fear or confidence issues in relation to driving no matter how insurmountable these issues might seem.

I had a crippling driving phobia for years. I taxed and insured my car year after year, but I never used it – even looking at the keys brought on anxiety. I tried lots of different driving instructors but nothing worked. I had almost decided that I was unteachable and would never, ever drive.

All that changed when I met Kathleen. After only a few short hours in the car with her I had learned a system for driving that made me feel in control of the car and – for the first time ever – safe behind the wheel. My fears about all the things that could go wrong were then targeted by Kathleen one by one until I realised that I could now deal with them all. I starting driving to work in August this year (a massive breakthrough for me) and I passed my test on 25 November. Putting my L-plates in the bin felt like little short of a miracle! Finding Sunbury and Kathleen has quite literally been life-changing for me – I only wish I had met her 10 years ago.

I cannot recommend Kathleen highly enough for anyone who wants to learn how to drive safely, confidently and with enjoyment.

Participating in this driving anxiety program has been an invaluable experience. The structured approach, along with expert guidance, allowed me to develop effective strategies for managing my anxiety and building confidence behind the wheel. I now feel significantly more at ease and in control when driving. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking to overcome driving-related anxiety. Kathleen has extensive knowledge in dealing with clients that struggle with this issue. 

I have dealt with this issue for years and I finally feel free of anxiety and panic. Many thanks Kathleen.
