Testimonials
“Everyone should have a coach…”
- Bill Gates
Alison was recommended to me by a colleague who recognised I needed some help deciding how to move my career forward. My experience was extremely positive and Alison challenged me to think differently whilst allowing me to take things at my own pace. As a result I’m happier at work, I know the decisions I’ve made are well founded and I’m confident in my future
Emma - Real Estate Professional
I began coaching sessions with Alison after having been promoted into a new role during the challenge of lockdown. Working in partnership with her gave me the clarity and focus to progress a strategy to deliver business goals; to successfully lead and manage an inherited team whilst working remotely and to build valuable new business relationships. As a result, I felt empowered and confident to progress whilst remaining true myself and letting my own personality and style shine through. Alison fosters a Socratic style of dialogue which allows you to self identify problems and solutions and thus set the foundation for being able to work independently in the long term.

Alison and I worked together whilst she was setting up her coaching business a while ago and I was transitioning into a new role and looking for a ‘‘reset - reboot’’. Alison helped me to refocus by identifying and playing to my strengths and working smarter not harder. I love her style which is gentle yet persistent to achieve set objectives. Alison is organised and systematic. I would recommend working with Alison to anyone who is looking for a sounding board in shaping or reshaping their career.

Jane Anderson - Chartered Surveyor.
I appreciated the non-judgemental, honest and genuinely supportive approach of Alison as a Coach. It made me think and opened up some avenues. It also reduced anxiety during difficult and uncertain times of COVID outbreak. I am very grateful. With only 2 meetings, I felt more energy to continue with my projects as my confidence improved.
Dmitry - NHS Consultant.
Alison has been a tremendous help to me whilst I was looking into my future career options. Being coached allowed me to focus on my next steps and what I want to achieve. I would highly recommend Alison to anyone looking to decide on and progress career goals.
Chris Carter Keall - Real Estate Professional.
I have found my coaching sessions with Alison to be extremely helpful in enabling me to focus on the areas I need to develop and explore. Alison has helped me to identify my priorities in terms of avoiding the patterns and behaviours I tend to resort to that are not necessarily positive or advantageous to my role. I started with Alison whilst taking a short career break and she has supported me through this and then through the start of a new role with insightful questioning and appropriate challenge that has helped me self-explore and grow. Alison has facilitated me being able to develop a 'tool kit' of practical and psychological/emotional methods to enhance my work life balance and enable me to be more effective in role.
Miriam Venner- Associate Dean AUL Awarding Body
Alison coached me during a stressful period in my life when I was physically and emotionally quite vulnerable. Through her amazing questions and incredible empathy I managed to get stronger and find my confidence again. Thank you Alison for all your help.
Laura
I have been coached by Alison since I began a new role. I wanted to give myself the best opportunity to establish myself quickly, build rapport and succeed in this role. I was also very keen to maintain a healthy work/life balance and continue to live a full, enjoyable life outside of work. Through being coached I have built resilience and developed the confidence to speak up. Having Alison as my coach has given me real clarity to see where I can make changes and so progress toward where I want to be – to be fully engaged in all aspects of my life.
Nathali Sot - Data Scientist Vodafone
Alison coached me during my own ICF coaching certification. Even though I felt I was "all coached out" and that I probably didn't need coaching at the time, I continued working with her. Turns out that during my sessions with her Alison helped me uncover a number of things I was not aware of which really helped me moving forward in my own coaching journey. I highly recommend working with Alison.
