The difference in her evidence pre and post your help was like the difference between night and day. You are nothing short of a sorceress!

Thank you again.”

The client was the mother in children proceedings:

“I suggested Rhiannon’s Witness Preparation Training to assist a particularly apprehensive client ahead of a lengthy and stressful court hearing. The result was a calm client, who was able to articulate their evidence clearly and whose significant anxieties had been assuaged by Rhiannon’s thorough preparation. I would not hesitate to recommend Rhiannon and her training to others. It was hugely beneficial to my client.’

The client was the father at a fact-finding hearing in children proceedings:

“I was very proud of how I gave my evidence. Both my solicitor and barrister were really complimentary – the barrister even said it was one of the best pieces of oral evidence she’d seen given in her 30 years! I was able to be calm in the lead up and feel I remained calm and clear throughout. The barrister on the other side was getting noticeably agitated as it clearly wasn’t going how she’d hoped.

Thank you so much for all your help along the way, our sessions were absolutely instrumental in me being able to deliver side of the story in the way I needed to. If I know anyone else who might need your help, I’ll certainly make sure they speak to you!”

The client was the father in children proceedings:

“The evidence at the hearing went as well as it could, X made a very good witness and the Judge remarked that he was impressive. He also had a very good manner about him generally in court and had clearly considered and taken on board the work you did with him. It was notable the difference in manners both giving evidence and generally in court.
 
Thank you for your work with X it certainly made a huge difference to the evidence before the court.”

The client was the wife in financial proceedings.

“Thank you for helping her… XX gave excellent evidence at court and the trial went as well as it could have”.

The client was the father in children proceedings:

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the work you did with X. You certainly worked some magic. The way he gave evidence yesterday was brilliant.

He said to me how pleased he was that he got to have a session with you as it really did help him.

Thank you so much.”

The client was the mother in children proceedings:

“Just wanted to let you know that XX gives evidence tomorrow. She has said that the time she spent with you was so helpful and valuable. Whilst she feels nervous she says she feels as prepared as she could do.”

The client was the husband in financial proceedings:

“Firstly, my sincerest thanks for all your help with XX. It was invaluable and I really appreciated it and more importantly it was of great assistance to him. The work you did was superb and helped us achieve the outcome we did.”

The client was the wife in financial proceedings:

“Thanks so much, Rhiannon, honestly your advice is helping my frame of mind and stress so much.

I feel more confident and in control. You rock!”

The client was the husband in financial proceedings:

“After our call, I felt the most positive I’ve felt in ages.”

The client was the wife in financial proceedings:

“My team said I did well and I kept calm and got across my points and don’t feel like I was “caught out.” Thanks again for all your help.”

The client was the wife in financial proceedings:

“I felt Rhiannon helped me focus on what I wanted out of the final hearing and how to best keep my emotions to myself during my evidence at the final hearing. It was also useful to get an idea of the court layout and how the final hearing would run. The work I did with Rhiannon focused my mind on what I wanted and also how to keep calm and answer the question. It seems simple but actually it is easy to forget when someone is trying to rile you. I would say that although divorce is expensive and the last thing you want is another expense, it is well worth a session with Rhiannon as court is extremely intimidating and it feels like the opposing barrister is trying to catch you out and twist your replies. I definitely found the work with Rhiannon worthwhile, and I would recommend it to anyone in a similar position to me.”

The client was the husband in financial proceedings:

“Thank you so so much for your wonderful coaching. It was a massive help on the stand while giving evidence.”
