Hi! My name is Diane Curtis and I’m an Advanced ADI Grade A (Approved Driving Instructor), who specialises in Vehophobia.
"Diane has completely changed my view of driving she helped me address my anxiety with useful tips and vastly improved my confidence and driving ability. I am now able to take my parents to hospital appointments, taxi for daughter and friends and am now able to drive to visit my best friend. Motorways were a big deal for me and we overcame that too! I can’t recommend Diane enough and as much as I dreaded driving when I started with Diane I very much enjoyed our 90 mins in the car!"

Who do I work with?
