Testimonials
Steph has a very reassuring demeanour and coaching style that put me at ease from the outset. I tend to be quite verbose by nature and need to focus on being more concise, but the timing of Steph’s interventions both kept me on track and allowed me to express my thoughts in full. The balance of listening, summarising, making observations and offering some tactical and strategic advice was really good, leaving me feeling like I had managed to explore everything fully but also had proactively received some great pointers and actions to execute on.
I had a fantastic series of coaching sessions with Steph, going into detail on a few key topics that had been lingering for several years. From the moment our sessions started, I felt heard and empowered to express what I was facing. Steph was very easy to speak with, offering both practical advice and tips – live and in follow-up after our calls – while also challenging me in moments where I was uncertain or simply avoiding sharing how I really felt. I left every session with tools to use in my day to day interactions which have been very helpful in my working life. I would recommend Steph to anyone who needs someone to bounce ideas off of and who can help shape and improve your mindset and thinking on range of topics.
Through her warmth and encouragement, Steph created a safe space for our coaching conversations. She listened intently and used what she heard and observed to ask insightful questions that really prompted me to look at things in a different way. Steph was great at reflecting back what she was experiencing in the session with me, sometimes things that I was not even aware of myself until she shared her observations with me and this was really helpful. I would thoroughly recommend Steph as a kind, perceptive and supportive coach.
Steph made me feel completely listened to and understood. Each session made me more confident and to value my own self worth. I was encouraged to find the positive in situations and with decisions I had to make leaving me less anxious.
It really has been a tough year, and added to many personal issues, the lockdown took the little ounce of confidence I had left in me. A good friend of mine went through the same recently and recommended Steph as she worked wonders for her.
Straight away Steph created a very non-judgmental, safe and welcoming environment (bear in mind we couldn’t meet face to face because of lockdown). She managed to get out of me some personal matters which, for most of them, were the reasons of my lack of confidence. She guided me to the right place and session after session I felt the old me was coming back. So much that the last session prepared me for a job interview which was very successful and since, I can’t stop smiling and challenges get me excited again. I couldn’t recommend and thank Steph enough for what she has done for me.
Steph’s coaching sessions provided so much support for me both professionally and personally. She is a fantastic listener and asks great questions which have really helped me to understand myself and gain a fresh perspective in order to become more resilient, productive with a greater sense of well-being.
I would really look forward to our conversations which always left me feeling energised, focused and armed with practical tips to make small but positive changes to my life. Steph is warm and incredibly friendly but also very professional with a real talent for encouraging you to open up and question, why am I thinking or doing things this way, is there a better way? Thank you Steph for helping me get through lockdown and giving me a mental health toolkit to draw from whenever I need it!
Steph is a wonderfully kind, responsive and interested coach. I worked with her at a time when I felt a little lost on my ‘path’ and she asked all the questions you can never see for yourself. She challenged me when I needed it, and was patient as I worked through the greyer areas. I felt that she genuinely cared about me as an individual, and went beyond the superficial to help me identify and really understand my drivers. Steph helped me see the best in me, and helped me understand how to put my strengths to best use – this helped my contributions at work as well as my job satisfaction! I left every meeting with her empowered to be able to make the right decisions for me at that time. I would recommend Steph’s coaching to anyone who feels like a little clarity would go a long way – don’t we all feel like that sometimes?!
I have thoroughly enjoyed each coaching session with Steph. Each session has been different and through the power of speech and the relationship we have developed, we have uncovered some really interesting areas for me to address and work on. Steph is an incredible listener, has a great memory for detail, and makes you feel valued and important.
