Coaching Testimonials

Being coached by Sue has been a delight from start to finish. The (Zoom) room felt like  such a safe, warm space where I could think out loud and work on things, with Sue asking gentle questions and guiding me along the way. Every session gave me stuff to think about, negative messages I had been giving myself were challenged with respect, humour and understanding. I have learnt so much and am very grateful to Sue for holding space  and being there for me with everything wonderful she has to offer.

I love the way in your notes, you don’t just report purely the content but you add your nice and gentle twist of joy. It works well for me as a booster for my confidence and to keep the focus on the positive. I am already quite rational and critical over my journey so what I seek externally is a genuine and realistic validation which you have provided. When I am gently encouraged, I thrive best.

Sue provides an encouraging empathetic space to reflect and uses sensitive questioning to explore thoughts, beliefs and emotions. The coaching room with Sue was a supportive, non- judgemental environment. It provided me with the tools and support that enabled the change I had hoped for.

Our beliefs, values and who we are can be damaged by others. Sue helped me to re-evaluate myself objectively and this strengthened my roots.

Homophobia had crushed me, so much that I was projecting others’ views onto myself as a gay man.  Sue compassionately helped me to reconsider who I am in a structured way, what I believed and where my values lay. My self-worth returned.

I can’t thank Sue enough for the coaching sessions I have had. It was helpful to set out goals and work towards them as well as having a safe, confidential space to share with someone who was willing to listen and be supportive. All of the tools we used have been insightful and really helped me to develop either an understanding of myself or strategies to support my positive inner voice and manage stress. Thank you so much, Sue.

One of the best examples of a successful coaching relationship is the ability to provide direct and honest feedback in an empathetic manner, Sue did this for me! Sue helped me overcome some real difficult situations.  She gave me the confidence to face them head on.  I will be forever grateful to you Sue. Fantastic coach.

Coaching with Sue means I now make conscious choices and I can see the changes I have made by doing small things. My imposter syndrome has dampened down, and my self-doubt has diminished. I definitely feel calmer and more positive.

The coaching relationship with you has changed my whole mindset – and now you consistently help me stay on track. Just a dial up here and a tweak there in my thinking, and suddenly I’m capable of climbing over walls I had previously thought impossible – I wear my superhero cape with pride and come up smiling! Would highly recommend – you’re a gem 💎.

Sue is a very talented coach, but most of all a wonderful human being. She has a positive approach to the coaching process, supporting me in a deep exploration of my whole self. She focuses on the whole person, with an holistic approach that makes me feel held safely, with the freedom of thought and feelings without judgment. She brings humour and a genuine laugh when most needed, balancing the energy in the room. Celebration and progress have been a real focus in her programme, recognising and acknowledging the smalls steps, the mindset shifts and the learning have been key for me to encourage me to carry on.

I have been able to overcome some resistances towards my business growth and my portfolio career exploration. I felt allowed to be vulnerable in the process and understood how being wholehearted is my super power and how this helps me to be authentic. I have also understood that I put a lot on my shoulders, and have been able to prioritise what was most important in the moment, not feeling guilty of not highly performing in everything. 

I would recommend Sue to anyone that needs a brilliant thinking partner, able to listen carefully and ask provoking questions and stimulate your creativity and intuition with poetry.

Rebecca Cuberli, Wholehearted Leadership Coach

I found the time that I spent with Sue absolutely invaluable at a time of impending change in my life. Using her incredibly subtle and positive listening skills she led me to understandings and realisations that gave me confidence and even hope at a time of transition.

Sue’s sessions are carefully crafted but also flexible and responsive to the discovery of new ideas. The sessions were something that I actively looked forward to and they helped me to move forward with excitement and anticipation as opposed to trepidation.

Quite apart from all these positives, Sue is just incredibly good company and a person whose warmth and humour makes the time fly by. I can’t envisage a time in anyone’s life when time in the oasis of calm that Sue provides would not be an edifying experience.

Coaching sessions with Sue came at a time of change for me, with further unanticipated changes arising during the time we spent together. I am certain that Sue helped me to negotiate these changes and challenges with much more ease, confidence and calmness that I could have done otherwise.
 
Sue’s approach is compassionate, non-judgemental and generous, and yet her questions and prompts for consideration were always thought-provoking and often illuminating. I had expected that it may be difficult to be vulnerable with a coach, but Sue’s gentle nature and great humour meant that I always felt supported and that I could take the coaching journey at a pace that felt comfortable for me. Indeed I thoroughly enjoyed each of our conversations. The session notes that Sue sent after every session have been clear and concise distillations of our conversations with additional suggestions for reflections. These have been supremely helpful and have kept me very engaged with the process in between sessions.
 
To anybody at a professional crossroads and considering coaching, I can’t recommend Sue highly enough – she’s a life-enhancing person with whom to consider next steps!
