*** Testimonial - Helen Macdonald ***

Although I managed to pass my driving test almost 25 years ago, I've always been nervous behind the wheel, hated driving and would put it off if I possibly could! Since losing my husband to cancer last year, I've become more and more housebound, as the fear of driving took over. A friend of mine had done some work with Lin and suggested I see if she could help me! Thank goodness!

From the beginning Lin put me at ease. She understood that I was nervous and remained calm at all times, which made me calm too! We used some beautiful essential oils (Peppermint and Wild Orange were my favourites), I learnt some breathing exercises, took things slowly and I was encouraged to reframe my stress and embrace the things that had previously been challenges.
I began to look forward to our drives and realised, finally. that I was a safe and competant driver. I cant thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone!

A fantastic result for Ciaran today, with a wonderfully composed drive out of Sevenoaks Test Centre.... An almost perfect drive fault-wise and smiley compliments from the most picky examiner (IMO) 😁

Lots of lessons, recent private practice close to home in Weybridge with Dad, and most importantly the willingness to work things out, rather than simply being told what to do!!

Really nicely done, Ciaran. A thoroughly well deserved driving test pass. Enjoy the additional freedom this offers you.... and stay safe out there! 🚙💨

I have been working with a lady in her early 60s, who had a horrendous non fault accident a couple of years ago, which left her in hospital for 3 months and in a wheelchair for 6 months. Not only did the accident shatter her leg, knee and pelvis, it destroyed her confidence and ability to drive to such a degree that she had completely forgotten how to drive!!!
After initially only managing to drive in an off road area, we gradually increased things over a number of weeks, as she became more confident and able, using both my dual-controlled car and then her own cars.
Imagine my thrill to get this message yesterday....

Have driven to Guildford & back on own on A roads :-) Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to do that drive. 9 months ago I never thought I would be able to drive again.
I found that I talked the drive through to myself as I drove as we've been doing together, both what I was doing and my future plan: what to anticipate, get ready to do next etc.
Thank you so much Lin, it's been incredible. Wendy x

I was inspired to add this post after working with Evie, who passed her driving test this week with no faults recorded at all.

Dyslexia is often accompanied by chronic emotional stress due to trying so hard to conceal difficulties and the embarrassment of them. Unfortunately, this increased stress and anxiety often make the effects of dyslexia even more pronounced and creates a negative cycle which undermines self-esteem and confidence.

When it comes to unlocking peak performance, sports psychologist, Steve Peters says: "As many as 90% of elite sports people will say that mental attitude and ability to deal with emotions and thoughts are critical to a successful performance."

You’ve got to love a Steve Peters quote!! 💟

Self belief to absolutely central to winning at anything- and not just a driving test!!

Huge congratulations to Evie Collings from for her no fault driving test pass today.

Evie has worked incredibly hard in the last few months and has been an absolute joy to work with. This is going to open up such a lot of opportunities for Evie - and I'm sure her brother and sister are going to love being driven around by their big sis!!

Thanks to mum Kirsty too, for the recent practice now that Evie has her own little car.

Congratulations again, Evie - you massively deserved that tremendous result today. Happy driving 🚙💨
