This is what just some of my
clients have said about the benefits to them of
Coaching:-
- "I came to coaching living in the shadow of childhood abuse and
going through domestic violence. I felt weak, disempowered,
controlled and that I had no say in my own thoughts etc. I lived
feeling threatened and unsettled with low self esteem and no
confidence. Coaching for me is a key. The key helps me to unlock
me, to change old patterns, old behaviours, to rediscover who I am.
I have found strength I didn't know existed and I fled the domestic
violence. Coaching has prevented me losing control of my life - I
have taken and owned that control for myself now. I feel that I can
be my own person and I can now have conversations and do things
that I never would have done before. All because I have empowered
myself through coaching." K.C.
survivor of domestic abuse and full time single parent
- "I have recently completed 6 Coaching Sessions with Annie and
have to say I have found the whole experience fascinating and my
whole personal outlook is now one of structure and
motivation!! We have completed sessions on effective
planning/time management, relationship management, personal fitness
and improving my own Coaching approach. Annie has an
exceptional ability to help me identify session goals, understand
how and what that would feel like, and takes me on a journey from
the present into a place where I can actually live out the achieved
goal! Breaking the sessions into small chunks, and
effectively listening and knowing when to ask the right questions
has given me a completely new motivation to succeed with all my
personal goals. Annie has successfully supported me to
achieve both my overall goal and each of the session goals - so
thank you very much!!" L.E. Performance
Manager
- "Coaching has given me the tools to plan, prioritise and
reward myself after achieving personal goals. After
I chose a goal, Annie helped me to plan how I was going
to do it, explore other ways I could complete it
and discuss factors which may hinder progress in order
for me to plan around them. Coaching is all about extracting
information from the client with little input from the coach. We
have the answers ourselves sometimes it just takes a well
skilled person to help us
see the options. Above all, it has given me the
confidence to put my needs alongside other family members -
thank you Annie". H.K. Full
time mum
- "This has been a new and enlightening experience.The process of
determining an achievable goal within a given timescale has greatly
helped to breakdown what seemed like mountains to manageable
molehills.I was surprised at the great sense of achievement I felt
by identifying and attaining goals within a short timescale. Some
practical, some personal.It was also very beneficial to be
"challenged" and pushed beyond my comfort zone to identify and
tackle my own personal needs, work on them and be accountable for
my progress. And, of course, to have someone "on my side"
ready with congratulations on those successes and help to determine
why a goal may not have been as successfully achieved as intended."

- "Exchange with Annie has added to my confidence and been a
happy experience. It's helped me a great deal." S.S. Retired Property Agent
- "Annie hears all the bits I kind of mutter and hope she hasn't
heard, the things that I think 'I shouldn't have said that she'll
ask me about it'" K.C. Survivor of domestic violence and
full time single parent
- "Working with Annie has been a brilliant experience. She
has great feedback and listening skills and a warm, caring
personality. The sessions were thought provoking and they
helped me clarify where to focus my energies. As a result I have
increased self confidence and sense of direction in my life" D.Z Lecturer
- "I hired Annie for a number of different areas in my life,
predominantly around my coaching business. I have to say
her approach and attentiveness to what I wanted was very apparent
and she was able to challenge my thinking that I thought at the
time knew what lay ahead. Her questions opened up my
perception of what kind of future I wanted which enabled me to
start looking at other ways of building up the business I
desired.Good news is that I have set up my limited company and have
a fully functional website and I am active with social media
developing a larger following by the day. Her coaching has
spurred me on to move into other areas so I can offer more services
to my customers. Using Annie was definitely an essential move
and what I have created would have taken so much more time with a
whole lot more stress. Very pleased." S.A. Coach and
Therapist
- "I undertook 6 sessions of coaching with Annie just as I
discovered I was pregnant. I had issues with my changing
body image and abilities as a mother as my self esteem
and confidence in my self were low. I struggled with
confrontational situations as I found it difficult to put my
opinions across and as I had some important choices to make
this was forefront in my mind. During my coaching with Annie I
covered all the areas that were causing me stress and was able to
increase my self confidence and esteem. In doing this I was
able to enjoy a pregnancy that was riddled with ill health and have
a positive birth experience as I was able to voice my needs
and wishes. I am now happily learning to be a mum to my daughter
and doing it with confidence" L.I. Nurse and now mum of
two
- "When I began
coaching with Annie I was in an emotionally and financially
manipulative relationship. I was struggling to cope with my child
who has Autism. I was also struggling with my own ill health and
its impact on my life and career. I couldn't focus and was unable
to find a way to move forward. I am now unrecognisable from
the person I was when I first met Annie, she has helped me to
entirely change my mind set. Annies help has transformed my life. I
am now out of the destructive relationship, I have more direction,
know my values and self worth and now have the confidence and, more
importantly, the skills to reach my goals! None of which I would
have been able to do without Annie's support." M.B. Full time single parent and M.E.
