What clients say about working with Rephael
“My sessions with Rephael have been life-changing. His depth of understanding and his ability to guide with open mind and open heart means that, if one is ready for the challenge of transformation, every session has the potential to be a break-through.
I was struck by Rephael’s self-awareness, non-judgemental approach, and his sound understanding of the complex effects of trauma. He works holistically, and with deep empathy– this is what makes his guidance so transformative. I went into the first session without any expectations, and was amazed by the results after each session that followed.
Thank you, Rephael, for helping me do the inner work, for the laughter, and for the many eureka moments. Working with you has helped pave the way for a brighter and more exciting future.”
Maya M.
(Programme Associate, National Business Consultancy)
“I was struggling a lot with low self esteem. I had a lot of self sabotaging habits like substance abuse… never ending cycle. I had tried many different solutions such as AA, rehab and the list goes on but somehow I always found myself back at rock bottom.
After a few sessions with Rephael I started to notice my thought processes and patterns changing which directly affected my actions, it’s as if I had a clean slate mentally... also helped me understand why the roots of certain issues [i.e. developmental trauma] make us behave the way we do.
I gained a lot of compassion for myself in these sessions and I’m proud to say I’ve been sober since I began working with Rephael. He has really good warm and welcoming energy, I never at any point felt judged and that let me open up and address some issues I had been keeping bottled up for many many years.
I would recommend this work… it has changed my life for the better.”
Patrick M.
(Musician, Performing Artist, Producer)
“I have been struggling with unresolved childhood emotional trauma probably through most of my life... In the past few years I spent many hours with spiritual healers, psychologists, searching the internet for answers, and in fact anyone that I thought could possibly help with the deep pain that I was in.
I had a few sessions with Rephael, who is an incredibly gentle and spiritual soul, never once did I feel uncomfortable or awkward working with him. Shortly after my last session [of three] I suddenly realized that I was no longer dwelling on the past hurts and injustices that had haunted me for so long. I was at peace with myself and ready to move on without dragging the painful past with me.
I would most certainly recommend Rephael to anyone who needs healing and personal growth, having healing sessions with Rephael was far faster and much more complete than anything I have tried before.
My absolute gratitude to him.”
Prue M.
(Real Estate Agent)
“Rephael ... is encouraging and gentle, but gets down to the work, wasting no time.
I can't even remember most of the limiting beliefs I had and I feel like I finally FOUND ME, and that has made every area of my life, personal, professional and spiritual, easier and clearer.
I found that I made the most progress in the shortest time working with Rephael, than with other kinds of therapy and other therapists.
What I love most is he also gives you the tools to keep working on your own. And you see results quickly, if you do the work.
I just recently returned from a visit home after four years abroad, and everyone commented on how different, calm, at peace and strong I have become.
It has been life changing for me.”
A vd V
(Educator, Peforming Arts Practitioner)
“I went to Rephael to work on chronic, unbearable anxiety… I have not only dealt with my anxiety, but I have had the privilege of discovering myself.
I have become aware of the deeply ingrained beliefs that… affected my entire life, how I viewed myself and how I interacted with those around me. I have healed so much from past hurts, as well as from childhood trauma.
I have been to more traditional therapies before (psychologists and psychiatrists), where I was given a blanket diagnosis and a script, but I felt this was not serving me best. Through my sessions with Rephael I have uncovered the root causes of why I felt the way I did.
I have been able to cure my anxiety and better my relationships, not only with others but also with myself. I feel like I have been freed... It has been life changing to say the very least.”
Jo-Anne W.
(Health Coach, Reflexologist)
“Life-changing.
I was feeling depressed due to a whole array of underlying issues. A close friend of mine started working with Rephael and transformed in front of my eyes. This was the push that led me to give it a try, and it is the best decision I have ever made.
I felt the difference after the very first session with Rephael. He instantly made me feel like I could trust him and he was very good at guiding me through the sessions. He used extremely effective techniques, such as Matrix Reimprinting, and provided me with the tools to do the work on myself in between the sessions.
I am more confident, content, determined, happier and... liberated from the blocks and depression that had been defining my life for as long as I could remember.
Grateful beyond words.”
Inga M.
(Head of Risk Management)
“Within a few months [15 sessions] of working with Rephael I feel I have gained years of self-understanding. Rephael has an incredible ability to remain present during fragile moments. He is an excellent therapist and his patience and kindness are near superhuman.
Rephael's combination of classical approaches with a cutting edge understanding of how the body informs trauma is truly rare.
In addition, his ability to ask pointed, precise, and challenging questions has been a powerful aid on my life journey; he has accelerated my self-understanding and self-love.
I readily recommend Rephael.”
Gabriel M.
(Educator, Student of Literature)
“I was struggling with day-to-day life emotionally. I had never tried any form of therapy before. Rephael helped me by looking at the fundamental issues surrounding my life.
I felt as though the many shackles that had prevented my emotional growth and stability had finally been unlocked and removed. I found the experience to be quite liberating. The impact in my life has been life changing.
I would highly recommend Rephael to people who need help with their relationships and more so with a relationship with oneself. His gentle nature is very soothing and his guidance has proved to be more than worthy. He helps you along the way although you're the one who needs to take the necessary steps.”
Tshepiso M.

“This has been an amazing year, and I feel healed in deep and substantial ways. I am very, very grateful for our relationship.”
Matt J.
(Project Manager)
“Rephael is an intuitive being. I found it easy to open up to him and share personal information, that I had never shared with anyone… comforting and accepting, automatically creating a safe space.
Simple and effective affirmations had tears streaming down my cheeks with Rephael gently guiding me along the way.
After just one session I feel this shift in my attitude towards life. I feel more relaxed with myself, patient and positive. I now know the source of my trauma and can continue to work on it.
So much gratitude to Rephael. Even one of my work colleagues said I look more at peace!”
Candace M
(Customer Service Manager)
“I was quite desperate and even suicidal. So unhappy with my life that I resorted to self-medicating and substance misuse.
Right from the first session I felt a shift and a kind of relief. Rephael held a safe space for uninhibited sharing of my darkest secrets. We very quickly got to the negative core beliefs that have crippled my self-esteem since early childhood.
Now, a handful of sessions later, I generally have a positive outlook on life and a LOT more self-love and -acceptance. Cravings and bad habits have literally vanished. I feel much better equipped, mentally and spiritually.
I would highly recommend Ray (Rephael) to anyone seeking a breakthrough and a new way of being.”
Francois D.
(Designer, Event Manager)
“Before I started my sessions with Rephael, I had debilitating anxiety. I had tried numerous treatments. Nothing really helped or lasted.
Our sessions have been a lifesaver.
I have been healed from a lot of trauma that I experienced in childhood, but also as an adult. I'm learning to love and accept myself, but also training my thoughts to be less judgmental and more curious.
Rephael is so kind, compassionate and caring, and I felt heard, validated but also challenged in every session. His calming presence in itself felt like therapy.
I am so grateful that I found Rephael, and for all his wisdom he has imparted. I can without hesitation recommend him.”
Mignon L.
(Business Co-ordinator)
“As a qualified clinical psychologist, I was bowled over at Rephael’s uncanny ability to masterfully facilitate psychological processes and zone in on the most pertinent issues.
I experienced a powerful epiphany and deep core-realisation… after that my addiction had literally vanished.
Completely non-judgmental and accepting and creating a very safe container and space in which to process potentially very vulnerable material. I can’t recommend Rephael highly enough.”
Yochi R.
(Psychologist, Leadership and Management Facilitator)
“I had been living with anxiety over a [traumatic] incident for three years. My psychologist recommended Rephael.
After only five sessions (including EFT and life coaching) I was, and still am, amazed by the results. I am now able to think and talk about my incident without feeling anxious or panicked and the persistent recurring thoughts that I previously suffered from are no longer an issue.
To anyone suffering from anxiety like I was, I could not recommend Rephael highly enough. He was extremely understanding and caring and an all-round pleasure to work with.”
Rob T.
(Student)
“While other life coaches and therapists can take ages to get to the core issues, Rephael has a way of uncovering the underlying reasons for problems in such an efficient way that results are almost immediate. His insights combined with his non-threatening healing methods provide rapid life-changing positive shifts.
After a few sessions with Rephael, I had so much more clarity about certain destructive thought patterns that were getting in my way and this clarity was liberating. I would recommend Rephael to everyone and anyone in need of healing or guidance.”
Dean F.
(Entrepreneur, Business Consultant, Author)
“Rephael is an exceptional space holder. His guidance opened my heart to receive healing in a space where I felt safe and protected.
I became deeply conscious of elements that I need to forgive myself for so that I can flow freely through my life.
I no longer have constant neck pain and have been communicating better with family members that I had conflict with.
I would encourage anyone who is seeking healing to get in touch with Rephael. The healing and gifts he has to share with the world are profound and impactful.”
Shireen S.

Since beginning the EFT work with you, I’ve shifted into a happier, stronger place inside myself, with increased self-worth and more energy. Much gratitude! May it be that many others are blessed with the opportunity to have these life changing consultations with you.”

“My experience with Rephael was really transformative! I now feel more whole, I feel more at peace with painful experiences from my past which had caused dissonant negative aspects of my personality to rule my emotional world.

Thanks, Rephael for awakening a certain 'me' within me which I know will be so much more meaningful to me and others.”
Steven G.
“I was suffering with back-pain – robbing me of sleep and sapping my energy.
Rephael’s powerful techniques supported me to access and release unconscious fears and emotional blocks which were manifesting as physical stress-responses in my body. After just a single EFT session with Rephael there was an immediate and lasting effect – the pain simply disappeared. Permanently. This was six months ago.
I am hugely grateful to Rephael."

Letitia B.

Powerful! Ray (Rephael) is a gifted healer.”
Katie V.
(EFT Practitioner, Intuitive Healer)
“Rephael has helped me immensely. With two sessions he brought me to profound realizations that have had an impact on me that I can’t begin to describe or measure but will impact on my choices on a daily basis. He has a way of bringing one to the true core of the issues with steadiness and care.
I highly recommend Rephael as a Life Coach.”
Laura P.
(Operations Manager, Coaching Enterpise)
“Rephael is a spiritual leader. The depth of his knowledge is clearly very rare, but what makes Rephael such a powerful practitioner is his profoundly empathic way of being. You can entrust yourself to Rephael, meaning that one's work with him can reach into areas of life, thought and experience that typically remain guarded and unhealed.
From my experience I enthusiastically recommend Rephael to anyone whose next step in life requires some deep and sacred work of the heart.”

It wasn’t just about identifying the problematic core beliefs, but also about reshaping them – and I really enjoyed this practical approach. I felt ‘lighter’ afterwards. I’m glad I found Rephael when I did

“After struggling with anxiety and panic disorder for many years, I was referred to Rephael to hopefully gain insight into what was causing me to suffer.
Already after just a few sessions I felt myself feeling lighter, more free and open to living a life without stumbling blocks.

I have and will continue to highly recommend Ray Rephael)!”

Anonymous
“I needed to work through my fear of flying I had been dealing with for over five years – felt like I was crippled with fear on a flight.
I saw Rephael about two days before my flight. On the day of the flight, I was relaxed and ready for my flight.
During the flight I was surprisingly calm – in the past I would have been freaking out. I kept checking in with myself to see if I might have suppressed the fear but there was none to be found anywhere on my being.”
Lesego A T.

“Powerful intuition, genuine interest and curiosity, gentle but fearless ability to challenge and probe more deeply… deeply caring and insightful person.”

“I was experiencing spells of low mood, lack of motivation and emotional stress and distress which were increasing and starting to affect my marriage and work. Feeling desperate, I reached out to Rephael after trying four other counselors and we clicked.
We worked on parts of me which had been stunted or suppressed in my past, to “unblock” and allow my authentic self to come through. I learned how to re-programme how I respond to situations.
I love Rephael's wisdom—his skillful therapeutic processes were extremely effective for me.”
