To say the coaching has changed my life is not an exaggeration. I have struggled with some basic organisation skills my whole life and with Sophie’s support I was able to find a way of being organised that works for me and this has reduced my stress enormously. I was feeling very stuck in my life following some major life challenges over the past few years and with Sophie’s support was able to start addressing some thoughts that were keeping me stuck and put into place some actions to help me move again. Sophie is very kind and approachable. Having gone through some difficult times herself this gives her a unique level of empathy, but also tools, insight and wisdom about what is needed to pick oneself up again and push through limiting thoughts to make positive action.

I feel I now have such a better understanding as to why I am feeling the way I feel, and have felt, for some time regarding work. This understanding has helped me try and work through these issues using the techniques you have gone through with me. When I began this journey with coaching I felt that each day was a huge mountain to climb with little ones with each consultation I undertook at work. These now feel more manageable and less daunting. I have started to focus on what makes me happy throughout my working day, albeit sometimes small things, in the hope I find my passion and love for my career again. I also now have a better understanding of why my entire body and existence felt the way it did. I know it's taken a long time to get the place I was at when we started the coaching earlier this year and am aware that it will take just as long to make things right again but I feel better equipped to move forward now.

Sophie has enabled me to break down the goals that I have into more manageable, bite size, achievable chunks. Before working together, I felt overwhelmed by a lot of things going on in my life and Sophie really helped me through our sessions to understand what was really a priority and what wasn’t and then how to move forward in small steps to achieve the things that I wanted. Working week on week on the things that were important to me and coming up with action plans literally changed the way I run my life which has resulted in me feeling so much less overwhelmed and focused and empowered to achieve the things I want to achieve. She also felt like my own personal cheerleader and really made me feel like she believed in me even when I didn’t and continues to do so.

Sophie showed me that I have the inner resources to succeed, and guided me to become a better version of myself . She helped streamline the process for me in a practical way and enabled me to become more focused, more organized and more motivated! I wish every single person could access the support of trained coaches. Sophie is really lovely, she didn't put any pressure on me during our sessions but helped me open my eyes to what I have to do in a very positive and pleasant manner!

I have found my coaching sessions with Sophie to be highly beneficial in both setting and achieving the goals that she empowered me to clarify. I wanted to work on my next career steps and how to start tackling this area, which I have struggled to make progress with up until now. Through our sessions, Sophie helped me to clarify my next steps, identify tangible pathways for myself and feel successful in undertaking small steps towards my goal. I feel positive and energised by the whole process and would highly recommend her as a coach to others.

You didn't force the pace of the work. People I have tried to work with previously have tried to make sessions too frequent and too intense. Also, when I didn't really know what to say, you shared ideas, talked in a way that didn't just keep adding pressure and nudged me through, rather than pressuring me to answer the original question. I appreciated that because sometimes listening to someone talk gives my brain a chance to calm down. You are very calm and approachable, and I felt as if you understood things better than other people I've tried to work with and you are very calming.
