“You patiently and kindly, but firmly, kept my thinking and actions on track. You kept me accountable, helped me be honest when I was making excuses to myself, and you made connections and gave me insights I would NEVER have achieved on my own.”
— Alice, Operations Executive
“Helen’s coaching was tailored to my needs and style and gave me a boost of confidence and courage when tackling challenging topics/conversations. I really appreciated the alternative lenses she put on the challenges I was trying to address and this consideration of multiple perspectives gave me stronger influencing tactics. I achieved the promotion I was hoping for, and indeed had to fight for, within 10 months of starting a new role.”
— Catherine, SVP, Financial Services
“Helen was a great sounding board and was able to ask me thoughtful and probing questions that helped to test and challenge my thinking. The coaching felt very professional and I quickly felt at ease with Helen as she has a calm and open manner. I would recommend Helen to others.”
— Patrick Drysdale, Senior Finance Business Partner
“I didn’t know what to expect when I started my sessions with Helen as I had no previous experience of coaching. She has helped me articulate what I want to achieve from the process and to gain a fuller understanding of who I am and what is important to me about work. I have developed a greater understanding of my core values and how to apply these at work. I had been drifting in my working life for quite some time and without spending this time with Helen I probably would be still. She has helped me to focus on why I’m doing what I’m doing and how I can improve in the future.”
— Stephen Salmon, Senior Engineer, HaskoningDHV
“I felt like I could open up and be honest about my journey and my career choices in the context of the rest of my life. Helen was able to guide my thinking and challenge my assumptions when required. From a place of doubts and lack of motivation with regards to my work, I am now feeling confident and excited to achieve my goals.”
— Jo, Risk Consultant
“I was considering a new move to get a promotion and Helen really helped me see what I wanted. She is very clever at drawing things out of you - she challenges but is also supportive. I got the job and I really think that Helen played a part in that. She is a great coach and anyone would be lucky to have her coach you.”
— Jude Wilson, Business Support Leader, PwC
“I wanted to rebuild my self-confidence and find a path through the difficult emotions I was experiencing. Helen has helped me with those goals in an incredibly supportive manner, showing skill in utilising her coaching skills to help find a way forward. Due to the coaching received from Helen I was far more resilient in coping and have an optimistic and pragmatic approach to exploring opportunities post lockdown. I highly recommend Helen’s consulting services to anyone looking to change career or looking for assistance in developing their current career path.”
— Fiona, Business Improvement and Transformation Consultant
“I wanted to refine the way I’ve been thinking about my work and better define the ‘core’ of what makes me tick. I was feeling a bit stuck in my attempts to try to make sense of my direction. Helen’s questions were thoughtful and incredibly productive. She skillfully guided me towards a genuine ‘aha!’ moment that just made everything click - I left the session feeling SO excited about what is next and felt a renewed sense of purpose. One happy woman ‘unstuck’!”
— Katie Bank, Arts Researcher
“I worked with Helen to gain clarity on next steps in my career and help with self-belief to build confidence. The coaching helped highlight key areas such as personal strengths, and skills and I gained a clearer focus on where I want to focus on my future career. My more positive mindset and self-belief will enable me to build a fulfilling career and not settle. Helen asks insightful questions that show she has actively listened to your fears and concerns and is then able to summarise these in a way that really helps clarify your thoughts and actions.”
