Working with Elizabeth has been a revelation. Each session is productive and ends with a way forward on the most difficult and troublesome of challenges. Over a period of six sessions I have grown significantly into my role and have a clearer understanding of the best ways forward.

"An unflinching solution-finder".

This was progression and learning that felt steady, not forced.

Elizabeth created a calm reset - space to breathe and see things as they are.

Elizabeth listens very carefully and then over each session reviews progress drawing out the important elements calmly challenging you to think about them in a different, much clearer and focussed way, enabling you to develop your own strategies that improve personal performance.

Elizabeth was incredibly warm and welcoming during our first session and took the time to get to know me and to understand my professional aspirations as well as my current working and home life contexts. She provided a range of additional reading sources. What I needed from Elizabeth at the start of the year looked extremely different by the end. She was completely adaptable throughout this time and was still able to support me by challenging my thinking and making be consider alternative perspectives to the issues I was facing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Elizabeth, her support for me has proved utterly invaluable.

I'd reached a point in my career where I couldn't define who I was professionally and was feeling left behind. I engaged with Elizabeth to help me define my professional profile. The sessions enabled me to ask questions about myself that I had never asked before and start to appreciate my own abilities again. The coaching gave me useful strategies to take into the first few months of a new role. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Elizabeth to anyone looking to refocus or make a change in their career path.

Returning to work was a daunting prospect after having a cancer diagnosis and treatment. Sessions with Elizabeth opened my mind to thinking about the way situations are handled and how best to reach the desired outcome. She works hard to make you think and talk about particular challenges and I have gained a greater understanding of my own abilities.

Elizabeth is one of those people that you want on your side. You feel secure and supported but in a way that won't allow you to hide from anything! Elizabeth has a steely determination to provide the most challenging coaching opportunity for her clients balanced with a nurturing, completely non-judgmental approach.
