Testimonials

“In November 2022 I was offered some private sessions with Angela to provide coaching and support in relation to my ongoing mental health concerns including anxiety and low self-esteem. This also assisted with Angela’s portfolio in relation to her MSc. The sessions took place every 4 weeks over a period of 6 months in total in a mutually agreed location outside of my place of work. During these sessions Angela made me feel at ease and as a fantastic listener really helped me with my ongoing concerns. At the end of every session Angela provided me with some extremely useful tips and guidance in how to cope with my mental health including a “Self -Check in” which I continue to do some 18 months later every Friday morning. Angela’s kind and non-judgemental manner was beyond anything I could imagine and as a result of these sessions I am now in a much more positive, happier place. I am forever grateful to Angela for the opportunity to attend these sessions.”

“I undertook a course of coaching with Angela with the aim of learning skills to develop my confidence, self-belief and to better deal with my inner demons. Not one shred of doubt or worry crossed my mind in sharing my inner, darkest worries. Angela made me feel at ease throughout the process. She showed passion for the job at hand. She actively listened and spoke when needed but equally allowed me to tell my story. Her knowledge of tools and self-help aids as well as books (their authors) and theories were very impressive and immensely helpful. I was able to express myself without any form or fear of judgement. There was a definite feel of Angela wanting to see me develop and succeed and whilst the next steps are mine to make, I feel better equipped following my sessions to make the necessary progress. I would highly recommend Angela as a coach; she has made a huge difference to my way of thinking and has prepared me to better help myself for the future.”

“Trying to find the balance between being a new mum and Director of my business was extremely challenging on a practical and emotional level. I needed the business to succeed so I could pay my bills & keep the career I love, but I didn’t want to lose out on time with my new baby. Angela provided a supportive ear to help me simplify the situation and find practical ways to move forward. She helped me re-align and articulate my priorities and make head space to be able to make clear decisions.”

“My coaching experience with Angela was very insightful. I work in the NHS and I am always busy with not enough time – it is relentless. I often work through lunch and struggle to leave and take a proper break. Meeting Angela outdoors allowed me to think more clearly and just being able to breathe without distraction was eye opening. I am a fairly closed person but found myself wanting to talk honestly to Angela about challenges in the workplace as well as other personal issues. I think it would be amazing to embed coaching outdoors into everyday NHS life to improve self-awareness and personal wellbeing.”

“Angela coached me during a difficult transition period when working through some future life decisions. The coaching enabled me space to think clearly and work out my life priorities. My indecision left me following the session and I felt more confident to make a life changing decision.”

“In 2021, I’d just got back from maternity leave and needed some support to identify what my career looked like as a mother. I was keen to keep on moving forward, but wasn’t sure what direction was best or if that was even possible in my new ‘role’. Angela was fabulous! In our first session I basically emptied my brain of what I thought the possibilities were for me, but also my anxieties about each of them in my new personal space. She actively listened to me and in the following weeks gave me techniques organise all these thoughts and helped me identify what I actually wanted and what my next steps were. In all my sessions I always felt safe to say where I was at, even when my perceptions were being constructively challenged. My time with Angela was amazingly helpful; thank you!”

“After feeling a little lost in my current role and lacking confidence, Angela was like a breath of fresh air! With Angela I was able to set realistic goals and she regularly set me ‘tasks’ to challenge myself whilst also having a real ‘can-do’ attitude which helped build my confidence and push my boundaries. I can honestly say that having Angela as my mentor has made a significant improvement to how I feel at work, and her knowledge and support has been fantastic.”

“After returning to work from my 2nd maternity leave, I wanted to invest some time and focus on my career goals. It’s hard to balance a part-time workload and career development whilst juggling a family, on top on trying to stay healthy and rested. Coaching sessions with Angela helped to bring essential focus time to help me take control.

Angela is a great coach to work with; she listens and reflects after each session. She helped me to find the answers to areas I was struggling with, and I felt empowered after each session. I really valued Angela’s viewpoint, and she helped with several transitions in my work life. She was very responsive and supported me when I had a few wobbles and needed assistance outside our usual coaching sessions. She has a real warmth about her coaching style, and I loved her ethos to life. She was very positive and professional at all times and provided a written summary, with various valuable tools & techniques, after each session which I was able to go back to. I highly recommend her as a coach”

“I had the privilege of working with Angela as my coach following my ADHD diagnosis in March 2023. From the outset, Angela’s unique coaching approach and her genuine, empathetic style stood out. She created a space where I felt completely at ease, allowing me to delve into and explore various ideas with confidence and clarity. Angela’s guidance was instrumental in helping me navigate through the complexities of setting up my own ADHD coaching business. Her insights, combined with her supportive and encouraging demeanour, provided me with the tools I needed to forge ahead on this new career path. Angela is not just a coach; she’s a catalyst for transformation. For anyone looking to make significant changes in their life or career, especially in the context of ADHD, I cannot recommend Angela highly enough. Her impact on my journey has been profound, and I am incredibly grateful for her support.”

“Angela is a phenomenal coach and leader acting with authenticity and integrity at all times. I had the pleasure of having Angela as my coach over a six-month period as I navigated a tricky transition in my leadership career.

At all times I felt truly heard and supported whilst being gently nudged to move forward, not get stuck and look at things from different perspectives. I believe that Angela’s support at such a critical turning point in my career was instrumental in me gaining my full confidence and making some bold and brave decisions leading me to a different direction in terms of my career.

I always looked forward to our sessions which had just the right balance of support and humour. I wholeheartedly would recommend Angela as your coach and would vouch to say you would be in very safe hands.”
