Success Stories

Helen is a superb, natural coach. 

We had a number of sessions where we discussed a variety of topics. I found Helen to be motivating and positive throughout. She helped me to understand my limiting beliefs and improve my confidence levels. Whenever we finished a coaching session I always felt motivated to do the actions we had agreed. As well as being so useful from a practical point of view, I found the coaching very enjoyable.

Coaching with Helen was life changing - in the most amazingly positive way!
I was introduced to Helen when I was at a very low and dark place and couldn’t see a way out nor had the energy to find one. Her listening was augmented by the use of an appropriate variety of coaching techniques. Although seemingly simple
we’re masterful in their timing and approach. I’ve had some counselling and coaching before but the experience with Helen was on another level. The journey over just a small number of hours, over a small number of weeks, went from developing a glimmer in the darkness to building confidence and optimism to resilience. She changed my life - she would say I changed it with her support- I guess that is what coaching is (!) - whatever. I wouldn’t have done it without her. Before our conversations I was in a rut with no way out, knowing it wasn’t right but being overwhelmed and with no idea of a way out. From the beginning she listened then set gentle ‘homework’ not too time consuming but relevant and therapeutic in itself. Each session built on this. We didn’t always refer much to the homework it was the process that had been important. Within afew sessions I was not only feeling 80% back to ‘normal’ regaining my confidence but had handed in my notice (with no job to go to!) and felt my life was not only back on track but heading in a better direction. The last session we also used to build up resilience and develop resilient techniques as I was still feeling fragile.
Now, six months after the sessions ended , I can truly say how sustainably life changing coaching with Helen was. My life is better than it has been for years. I have not one but two wonderful, rewarding jobs. With great colleagues who appreciate me. But although the main focus was work everything is better! True life coaching! I am 2 stone lighter, healthier than ever, running further and faster, doing daily yoga, not thinking about having a glass of wine to relax in an evening because I am content. I am the person I thought I never would be again once ‘life’ had got in the way. The family, house etc no longer drain me. Ofcourse dreadful things still happen. These last few months have been no different - including my father dying - and there are upsets at work, home, life stresses every week. The difference is I can use the the techniques and remember the sessions and not let events affect me adversely. I sometimes think ‘What would Helen suggest?’ So, not only am I in a much better place, events don’t cause me to come crashing down, infact I can support others without it being detrimental to me. It is hard to put it into words this feeling that Helen saved me. Her skills and abilities changed my life in a more positive way than I could ever describe. So thank you Helen and I hope many others benefit in the way I have.
