Here’s what my clients have to say…

 

Charlie*, GIS Surveyor

“I found the coaching experience an new exciting challenge that enabled me to look beyond myself and unravel layers that were acting as barriers and blockages to getting to my goals. Alice felt like a coach and a good friend I could chat to very easily. She created such a safe space from the beginning I felt very comfortable being open.

Before coaching, I was unable to listen to my gut. I struggled with self-doubt and felt anxious. The main benefit I've taken has been a stronger self of self. During this period I needed to make some pretty big decisions and without even realising I already knew the answers I just needed that guidance and framework to help me get there. I also was able to pick up some tools and techniques for planning and organising so I didn’t get as overwhelmed with tasks in work.”

Vanessa, Charity Network Lead

“I came to coaching because it felt like I was standing in my own way of reaching my goals. It was great! It felt really good to have a space where I can share my thoughts and experiences with someone who's not involved.

Alice asked the uncomfortable questions I wouldn't ask myself, helped me see the connections between my thoughts and feelings and allowed me to reflect on myself and my experiences. I feel like I've learned to understand myself a lot better - and that helped me stay focused on my PhD applications.”


Charlotte, Insurance Broker

“I came to Alice with anxiety from dealing with a relationship break up. Alice has been amazing these past six months whilst she has been coaching me. Her sessions have been invaluable towards my healing and I am so proud of all of the progress I have made. Alice has played a pivot role in this and I will always be thankful to her for getting me through this tough time. I am now gaining control of my life back and making decisions that are right for me.”

Jen*, Doctor

“Alice used really helpful techniques which changed the way I approached career decisions. I now have greater clarity in the decisions I am making.

Alice is very friendly and approachable and non-judgmental. Would 100% recommend these coaching sessions.”


Ellie, Senior Research Executive

“I loved the coaching experience. Having had a fair few years of therapy and counselling, it was really refreshing to be in more of a focused environment with clear goals and aims to work towards.

I was facing confidence issues both in my personal and professional life. Coaching helped me gain perspective on who I am as a person and the things I value. It has allowed me to gain confidence in myself, understand my strengths and weaknesses, and know how to best apply them in my working and personal life. I'm now so much more accepting of who I am as a person!”

Max, Co-Founder & CBO

“Life is busy and I was having some issues with boundaries and priorities in my work and home life, which in turn were triggering anxiety and overwhelm.

Coaching with Alice was very relaxing and well structured - I feel Alice asks all the right reflective questions at the right time. She makes me feel very comfortable to share vulnerability and speak freely.

The biggest benefit I have taken is the time and head space carved out to air how I feel with someone who is wise, emotionally intelligent and insightful.”


Anna*, Corporate Solicitor

“I was at a crossroads in my career, and didn’t know whether I was staying at my firm because I thought it was the right thing to do or because I didn't know anything else. If I’m honest, I think I was also a bit scared of the truth and the fact that if I decided to leave, it would then require me to proactively take steps to leave (which I considered to be really daunting).

Alice put me at ease straight away and was in no way judgemental. She was incredibly calming, supportive and understanding. She was always very prepared which meant that there was a focus to the session and Alice would pick up on things we discussed at the previous session. Alice is an excellent listener - even when I went off piste and rambled on! She was able to follow what I was saying and often find themes or ways in which to distill my random thought processes.

I really enjoyed the theory behind the techniques and the exercises we did. This meant that I was able to revisit things we had discussed and reflect on them in difficult circumstances. I really enjoyed the sessions; I looked forward to them and always felt much better afterwards (even if I did have lots to go away and think about!)

Although there was no pressure at all from Alice to do so, I have made the decision to leave my firm. I honestly do not think I would have been able to do this without these sessions.”

Joanna, Yoga Instructor

“I found coaching with Alice amazing! It’s been life changing - so revealing and inspiring. Alice is so professional and natural in her coaching you feel like you are talking to a long lost friend. This really helped me open up, challenge some of my thinking and set goals that felt right in order to continue with new exciting chapters.

I ended up feeling confident enough to set up my own business and teach regular yoga at my workplace. I quit my day job and listened to my gut feeling about moving abroad and having a fresh start! The overall benefits were having an incredible listening ear from Alice - I would say her ability to ask the right questions was the most powerful benefit. Each time l left feeling like I had been thoroughly listened to and satisfied with a list of uplifting energising goals to move forward with more purpose.”

Tom*, Estate Agent

“Alice kept me motivated and focussed; every week we worked on overcoming new challenges. I think the biggest success was a change in mindset overtime and having the staying power and commitment to learn and grow in my new role. We also evaluated my short and long term goals and worked towards accomplishing them.”


Kelly*, Film Colourist

“I've found coaching with Alice immensely helpful in breaking down what can feel insurmountable challenges and dilemmas, and it's really good for touching base and working towards the bigger picture. Having a second party reframe issues really helps in figuring out a practical plan to overcome them, so I leave each session feeling lighter and empowered.

I was feeling overwhelmed and anxious from all the pressure at the start of my career. I wanted to find a sense of work/life balance, and to carve out time for other things I wanted to prioritise but couldn't manage to.

Since we started working together, I’ve grown in confidence and learnt to be far less hard on myself. This has helped shift my perspective to a far kinder, more realistic and practical place. But the main benefit has been working to a place of clarity during a session after I walk in feeling muddled or anxious - it is always a wonderful feeling.”

Alex, PR Account Manager

“Coaching with Alice was super beneficial, and it was great to be able to talk things through at a set time. It was good to consider how other people I work with would look at situations, removing myself to look at things from the outside. It was also helpful to discuss problems with someone who is unbiased.

I was struggling with my workload and wanted to move jobs. Instead of giving an opinion, Alice helped me to look at an issue from all angles and explore different solutions to get to a happy end point.

As a result, I am more confident at work as a manager with stepping up, setting expectations and delegating a lot of work not only downward but upward too.”


Beth*, Associate Solicitor

“I found the coaching experience to be extremely helpful and really enjoyed working with Alice. I had been struggling with a lack of career direction and not knowing what my next move should be.

I gained a renewed understanding of my values and motivations as well a clear, methodical path to achieving my career goals. I would recommend coaching to all young professionals hoping to make a positive change - from seeking out a promotion to pursuing a new career direction altogether.

With Alice, I developed key criteria for my next role, both in the short term and long term. Ultimately this clarity of thinking was key in helping me to land my new dream job!”

Alice, Director of Fundraising

"I needed support to decide whether to stay in my current role. Coaching was very helpful for guiding me through the steps I needed to consider before deciding whether to make a career change or not. The outcome for me was realising that I need to move on to a slightly different role whilst remaining in my current sector. This was something I couldn't work through on my own."


Lily*, Project Manager

“I was struggling with a loss of confidence at work, and fear of the unknown in my new job. My life was focused on work. Coaching was a very positive experience for me. It gave me the time to reflect back on myself and identify how I could best move forward in different situations.

I gained confidence in myself and successfully started my new job. My life is less centred around work, I’m enjoying going to the gym (it was a chore before) and I’ve started and continue to explore new hobbies.”

Michael, Acting Student

“When I came to coaching, I felt overwhelmed and unable to manage my situation. I found it enormously helpful.

I was able to make important life decisions with a clear head. It also allowed me to deal with, and relieve, a large amount of stress that I had been carrying.”


Henry, Writer & Grant Fundraiser

“I was overwhelmed by committing to too many projects and responsibilities in my working life, and I found I wasn't enjoying any of them. I didn't know how to relax by myself, and so kept tiring myself out by working.

Working with Alice was very easy and helpful. She listened carefully to me when I spilled out everything on my mind, and she asked insightful questions that helped me make sense of how I felt, and how I was behaving - her intuitive responses guided me to some big personal realisations in a short amount of time. She helped me come up with some very practical steps to work more effectively and efficiently in my job, and she's changed my attitude towards downtime away from work, so I feel I can relax more - I feel more fulfilled all round as a result of the time I spent with Alice. Thank you!”

ONE YEAR ON: “A year on from my sessions with Alice, I've been able to see a really positive, long-term difference in the way I plan my time and strike a life/work balance. As a freelancer, it can be stressful being across lots of different projects for different clients, and Alice really helped me to approach and prioritise things in an orderly way. In particular, she helped me to assess what is a reasonable amount of time and energy to be spending on work in general; I now find myself making more time to relax and being more productive in the work hours I do set myself, and feel much more fulfilled all round. Thank you so much Alice!”

Namalee, Fashion Stylist & Editor

“Absolutely fantastic! Really not what I expected from a ‘coach’ because you have so much depth and obvious Psychology-based understanding. I can really see how your Psychology background has informed your style and given you a much deeper awareness of what is going on beneath the surface. I feel that uprooting what is really going on in the psyche is much more likely to create long lasting results for me rather than the quick motivational fixes one normally expects from standard coaching.

This was all expertly handled by not fixating on the past but rather by cherry picking the relevant background information that related directly to the issue in question. You also have such a strong sense of time and how to move around it with your questions to extract the necessary info. I will definitely recommend you to all my friends because you have really made a difference to my thinking and behaviour in such a short amount of time. Thank you Alice!”


Amelie, Digital Marketing

“Before I came to coaching, I felt lost and struggled to find motivation or drive to sort my life out. I had been drifting for years. Alice’s way of questioning some of my statements helped me reevaluate my thoughts, and her suggestions have always led me to take more positive steps with a clearer direction in mind. I now feel more determined and have a clearer view of the directions I need to take. The fact that I needed to be accountable and show results between the sessions spurred me to deliver.”

Rebecca, Events Assistant

“The process really made me think differently and delve deeper. I realised what was holding me back, and how I could turn the situation around. I left feeling very positive and motivated.”

ONE YEAR ON: “The session had a very positive effect on my thinking process, particularly in difficult situations that I might want to avoid or put off. Themes from the coaching session are frequently noticeable in the workplace and have made me more assertive and confident, as I approach situations with a different outlook.”


Ines, Sales Manager

“I found my conversations with Alice very helpful. At the time, I was struggling to properly balance my workload and her coaching helped me massively improve my time management by questioning my approach to daily and weekly goals. One of the outcomes of our sessions was that I applied to Business School, something which had been on my mind for a while!”

Kate, Freelance Designer

“Coaching with Alice was very liberating. It felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and enabled me to gain answers to the problems I had. The biggest benefit I took from our sessions was the clarity to end a relationship that was toxic. I restarted hobbies and interests, and gained confidence.”


Jessica, Nurse

“I came to coaching feeling burnt out, and have found the coaching experience great. Coaching helped me to identify my transferable skills, and with the ability to be more assertive. I now feel like I can change things. I feel back on track and hopeful.”

Bebe, Account Manager

“Alice (in my first session!) changed my entire perspective on the way that I was looking at big changes coming up in my life. She helped me to be excited about the future and to take action to make sure all ran smoothly. She is a natural coach and her calming style is wonderful. I could not recommend Alice highly enough!”
