“I particularly valued Kelly's compassion and ability to give space when talking about difficult themes that I have rarely spoken about at work. This was balanced with a gentle sense of humour that felt containing and normalised some of these struggles!”
“I am not going to say it has been the easiest of things to do and I am still learning a lot about myself, but I know that I am heading in the right direction fast and learning to believe in myself and I am not sure that was feeling possible before we had our sessions.”
“Thank you for making me see that what I thought should make me hide away is exactly what I should be standing up and show off.”
“I acquired tools for dealing effectively with conflict resolution situations, effective communication and self-regulation of emotions and thoughts. On a deeper level, the coaching helped me to identify the right path for myself and gather the courage to pursue it.”
“She helped me to understand that there are situations outside my circle of influence, and I have to let them go. Aligning my life with my needs is something within my control. She saw opportunities when my fear blinded my judgment. Thanks to her, I am taking ownership to create the right life for me. I finally feel peace and hope.”
“I ended up with a coach to sort out everything was wrong with me. I thought she will show me what I needed to change within my thoughts to finally adapt and enjoy my current environment. However, that it is not what she did. She validated my feeling and help me to respect who I am, working within my circle of control without feeling I am deficient for honouring my needs.”
“I have the conviction that whatever the future brings, it will include my true self.”
“There was open and honest communication between us within a safe space that she built with a warm and friendly personality.”
“The techniques suggested with her pragmatic approach are easy to remember and implement beyond the coaching sessions.”
“Kelly immediately made me comfortable and enabled me to go through the sessions at my own pace.”
“(Kelly) was perfect for helping me because of her compassion, understanding, knowledge and the fact she is a genuinely nice person.”
“I have gained confidence and a better understanding of myself, others, and how to manage my emotions because of implementing Kelly's techniques into all aspects of my life.”
“I am extremely thankful to have had Kelly conduct my sessions, as they were one of the most beneficial self-developmental things I have done and have benefited me in every area from my life.”
“You really helped me open my eyes and understand myself.”
“From the very first session you helped me see things from a different perspective. You took the time to get to know me from the very first conversation we ever had which made me feel very welcome. I wasn't sure what to take from it but you understood this and made me feel comfortable and open up.”
“I couldn't thank you enough for your patience; effort and understanding. I can confidently say that you took the time to ensure I was understood which helped me in time understand myself.”
“Kelly helped to identify my values and emphasised the links between these ideals and current well-meaning but unworkable processes. Kelly drew out some of the stuck cycles that I have been working with for years and that in the past have led to burnout”
“I have benefited from Kelly's knowledge and ways of explaining neurodivergence. It was powerful to feel safe enough to explain the things I found difficult, to have this explained in a way I could relate to, to have resources to further understanding and most importantly to laugh sometimes about the tricky parts of our brains! I felt as if I had an ally supporting me with explaining things to others.”
“Kelly is so easy to talk to and I immediately felt relaxed from our first session. Kelly offered a balance of listening, empathising, but also had a gentle way of challenging when I needed her to.”
“I am far kinder to myself now at work than I was at the start of our sessions, and this has perhaps been the most valuable part of coaching for me.”
“Kelly would allow me to bring anything I felt was relevant to the session, would give some space for new insights to emerge and somehow always managed to bring things back to how I can use this information in the workplace. You didn't realise this sometimes as it felt like an easy conversation.”
“I particularly valued Kelly's compassion and ability to give space when talking about difficult themes that I have rarely spoken about at work. This was balanced with a gentle sense of humour that felt containing and normalised some of these struggles!”
“Kelly was amazing - I could not have asked for a better workplace strategy coach. Her bright and bubbly personality and infectious laugh were a tonic for starters. She listened to me – REALLY listened. It was such a relief not to have to explain my neurodivergent characteristics to her – she just got it. I knew I was being properly heard and understood. She reflected back, and gently challenged my thought patterns and narrative about myself and my abilities. She encouraged me to see my personal strengths, my abilities and the value that I bring to my organisation.”
“Every session, Kelly was sensitive to my feelings and gave me a safe space to talk. She also demonstrated a huge wealth of knowledge and experience, offering alternative ways of processing what was happening and giving me the tools and strategies to get through. Throughout all our sessions, she has treated me as an equal and facilitated my personal development via a collaborative approach. I would recommend Kelly to anyone needing a workplace coach – she is brilliant!”
“Kelly quickly got to know me by asking questions, listening, and checking her understanding. She built a strong rapport with me from our first session by being friendly, non-judgmental, honest, and “down to earth”. Through getting to know me, Kelly was able to offer really valuable suggestions that would work for me, and guided me through a wide range of situations that I was struggling to navigate independently. Kelly helped me to better understand the way that my mind worked, using a perfect blend of both professional and personal lived experiences.”
“I came away from each of my sessions, buzzing with renewed enthusiasm to try out each of the techniques that we agreed on. Over time, Kelly guided me from a place where I was petrified of doing presentations, to a place where I actually wanted to do them, to push myself through my fear. This was HUGE for me, and is totally down to Kelly’s work in building up my confidence. I also feel that I now have an armoury of tools to draw from when my confidence takes a dip.”
“I have been on a total journey of self-discovery in the months that I have been working with Kelly. As a result of Kelly’s guidance, I am now able to step back and view situations in different lights to alleviate my anxiety. I have also built long term changes into my everyday life, which have greatly impacted my mental wellbeing.”
“I honestly wouldn’t change anything about the sessions that I had with Kelly. I was very sad when they came to an end, which is a great reflection on Kelly as a coach, and as a person. I only hope that we will have the opportunity to work together again in the future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for helping me through a tough time, and turning it into a thoroughly enjoyable experience.”
