Testimonials

Important point before we get to the testimonials; just because these people have said what they did, that shouldn't lead you to expect such an outcome for yourself, even though there is clearly evidenced-based potential to unfreeze from the past, and live with greater ease in the present. Everyone is different, and there are no guarantees with this work. With that being said, here are some lovely words from some lovely people I had the great honour to work with...

“Liam has literally freed me up to embrace and live the rest of my life to the fullest. I have no idea where to begin to even express in words my gratitude to him. I am in total awe of his talent, knowledge and experience. The approach of combining Internal Family Systems with somatic release has enabled me to locate and physically release nearly 60 years of embedded trauma. On top of the physical release of the trauma, he taught me how to identify my inner parts, to acknowledge them and work with them. This empowers me to sustain and embed the long-term success of the somatic release work. I now walk down the street tall, my balance is impeccable, my strength has returned, and I feel physically light, and so excited about the future. I look up to the sun and the sky and I say “ It’s OK”, because it is! Liam, you have given me a gift that I will NEVER be able to repay, and for that I thank you from every inch of my body and mind and soul.”

“Working with Liam helped me more than a decade of therapy ever did. In the individual sessions as well as the journey, I learned so much about the nature of trauma, how we carry it with us, and how to finally start letting it go. Liam was warm and supportive throughout the whole process and so clearly passionate about his work. I’ll always be grateful to have worked with him, and grateful for the healing the experience has brought me.”

“Through my work with Liam, I uncovered and confronted some deep fundamental pains I had never truly processed and acknowledged. Through both the journeys and our family systems work, I was able to get powerfully (and painfully) close to them, honour them and learn just how significantly they were impacting my nervous system and in turn my entire emotional wellbeing. The mental and physical release that I experienced through our journey work was truly profound, cathartic and beautiful. Liam is a wonderful and inspirational person and his knowledge, lived experience, authenticity and strength provided a truly safe and powerful platform to explore hard things. With his guidance I learnt how to trust myself, as well as to connect with my long forgotten friend, the body, to provide the answers I needed. As a lifelong over-thinker, this was not the outcome I expected and one I would never have achieved without him. It will be a pivotal moment in my life and I feel enormously grateful to have worked with him."

"I remain awestruck by how much somatic trauma was released. I feel like a new person. I can breathe fluidly and the anxious stories have diminished substantially. I credit my deeply healing experience to Liam and his ability to foster a safe and comfortable space for self-exploration. He embodies nonjudgmental awareness through his concise verbiage, calm demeanour, and steady cadence. Liam thoroughly prepared me for the somatic and emotional manifestations of my childhood wounds. I feel liberated from the weight of my past trauma, and I cannot believe how much stress I had become acclimated to over the span of my lifetime! Liam made me feel seen and was open to all of my questions. I'm confident in his knowledge and his ability to translate complex principles into relatable descriptions. I cannot recommend Liam highly enough! I’m sincerely grateful for this transformative experience.”

“Liam was the catalyst, container and guide that I needed. The process taught me a lot of things- too many to concisely or coherently put here - but mainly it showed me that your body knows what to do, you just need to let it. If you feel called to go on this journey; don’t think, just do it. My gratitude for Liam and the work that he does runs deep and will be everlasting.”

“I will now be eternally grateful to have met Liam, for the experience of undertaking 3 journeys and follow up calls (mix of planning, analysis, IFS, embodiment, and mindfulness) will forever be one the greatest memories and milestones in my life. Liam has a holistic persona of calmness, yet passion, support yet excitement and encouragement - which made undertaking these journeys, which is literally taking a leap of faith into the pure unknown abyss of curiosity, easy and exciting. My personal outcomes have been subtle (mildly releasing I am not depressed on a regular basis) to mind-blowing realisations (that breath is all I need). These realisations would not have been possible without Liam’s process and persona - and I cannot wait to watch Liam transform the lives of others. I would highly recommend Brighter Pathways - and allowing Liam to shepherd anyone into the deeper exploration of their subconscious.”

“This process helped me to unburden myself from an unwanted legacy and to start afresh: powerful, beautiful, and capable, for myself, for my daughter and me. It was truly incredible! It is one of the most powerful experiences I’ve had in my life. For someone who has constantly searched for answers, I felt that this process is one of the most important turning points in my personal development, and a key to the world I have been seeking for so long - a world of peace and happiness. I can only wish that anyone wanting to work through trauma, depression, anxiety, burn out or exhaustion, to be able to experience this process at least once in their lifetime. Thank you, Liam, for your incredible support, guidance, intelligence and teaching throughout the last few months. I will be forever grateful for your gift.”

"Liam, thank you for your work and your kindness. For me, this process has been a profound experience and I feel like I have shed some of the trauma and attachments I have been holding on to for a long time. I was able to connect with my inner child and tell her she is loved, she is respected and she is good. I did not expect this lesson at all, my intention was to simply build more self-compassion and change my relationship with my anxiety, moods and addictions. I am incredibly grateful."

“The work with Liam was deeply transformative. I was able to reconnect with my body, my intuition, and parts of myself that I had otherwise shut down. I now have more compassion for myself and those around me, and I have resources to turn to for when life invariably gets tough. I can't thank Liam enough for his all support on this journey. He helped me understand trauma, bringing his deep knowledge and years of experience to bear. Thanks to Liam, I'm able to step into the next stage of my life with a new sense of purpose, excitement, and joy!”

“I have been active in traditional psychotherapy for the better part of my adolescent and adult life, but the outcome has been fleeting. Only until working with Liam, as a trauma-based, somatic-informed practitioner, have I experienced relief from my mental health issues like never before; and, I have learned new tools to cope with traumatic and stressful situations for the future. The results are long-lasting and real.”

“I am deeply grateful for the safe space Liam provided for my process of self discovery. Having spent a few months doing IFS work with Liam, I felt I was ready for a deeper journey with psychedelics. Liam’s compassion and empathy, combined with his dedication, professionalism and wisdom, made it very easy for me to fully trust him and surrender to the process, and his calm, reassuring, and non-judgemental presence were indispensable for the success of the journey. I continue having weekly sessions with Liam to integrate all the material that has surfaced and cannot recommend him enough.”

“After about a decade of beating myself up I put an SOS into the ether and Liam responded. Immediately after our first chat, I began to see myself with new eyes. He planted a seed in me that has helped me to learn to see myself from the point of view of my ‘capital s’ Self and begin the journey of healing my mind and unleashing my hidden potential. At this moment I’m as happy as I can remember. By putting into practice his simple suggestions of self care my life has been profoundly changed. And the work has only begun.”

“The Hero’s Journey can be an utterly transforming experience and this path of exploration requires a guide. Liam’s structured and systematic way of preparing for the journey were essential in supporting my expectations and perspectives. With clear guidance, going into the journey with his presence always nearby, my experience has indeed brought a re-evaluation of myself, my life, and my world. Going into the depth of painful experiences of my core self, the primal being that had shrouded itself in a cocoon of safety, led me eventually to understand the self for what it is. Rising above the realm of self-experience into the spaciousness of the newly experienced self was the most wonderful experience for which I had a deep sense of gratitude to all the forces that had brought me to this point, both human and Divine. Every moment is a felt sense of the wonder of life and the embodied existence that is meaningful and simply beautiful!”

"This will not do justice to what Liam has done for me. The introduction to IFS, Somatic modalities, as well as how psychedelics tie into this whole space, mind-body connection, the space to open up, to be free… the list goes on. Liam has a strong sense of professionalism and a deep passion for his work, which has been reflected in all of my interactions with him. There is so much work and effort that Liam has put into ensuring he delivers and achieves the best for his clients. Liam could ‘read’ me very well when I may be going through a challenging part of the psychedelic journey, and his words were deeply comforting, helping me have the experience that I needed to heal. Liam is a phenomenal listener and will challenge what you say when appropriate, encouraging you very effectively to re-appraise how you see the world. Through Liam’s work, I have been able to heal and reflect on many parts of my life. Thank you does not do justice to what you’ve done for me, but for now, please accept it with my deepest gratitude.”

“Liam creates and supports a safe space in which to explore the inner realms of the body; how it holds onto trauma and the corresponding limiting belief systems which manifest in the mind and create repetitive, destructive behavioural patterns in the material realm. I never thought I would begin to overcome the challenges I have lived with - and certainly not come to see my defences as protective parts that have worked hard to keep me safe but can now take more of a back seat as my higher self takes the driving seat. Making the unconscious conscious is a bumpy journey to say the least, but Liam has demystified it allowing me to meet myself with gentleness, curiosity and love instead of fear, anger and regret. I am more grateful for what I have than what I lack and know the best is yet to come. I am pretty sure I will look back on this period in time as one of the most significant in my life. Thank you, Liam!”

"Curiosity and intuition led me to Liam; it's a leap of faith for someone who has no experience with this medicine but from the beginning there was a calm conviction from my Self because Liam created a safe, welcoming space in our calls and journeys. It felt like a re-initiation back home to my body and Self. I lost my mum part way through, without this healing, I don't know where I'd be today. Liam's approach is beautifully holistic too, he's given me ideas that I continue to explore on my exciting journey. Thank you with all my heart. The process has been an incredible catalyst and I'll always be grateful for your care, guidance and support. It would be difficult to overstate the impact and importance the process has had one me.”

”Working with Liam was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. The process he took me through was profound and life-changing, but importantly, well-grounded.

Liam’s work in bringing together IFS, Somatic Experiencing, transpersonal psychology, mindfulness practices, psychedelic medicines, and others, was the perfect blend of modalities to ensure that the work was integrated long-term. Our work together helped me heal my mind, and also a 20-year back problem that had caused me many issues. Liam is a a man of the upmost integrity, and someone whom places care above all else”
