Testimonials

BS - NHS Senior Medical Consultant

I would recommend Deborah as a coach in a heartbeat.

I found the coaching sessions with Deborah to be hugely helpful and provided me with a consistent and gentle challenge to reflect on experiences and assumptions, and use that to reframe and move forward towards the goals that I would like to achieve. Deborah was incredibly warm and kind and a thoughtful listener. Her manner made me feel at ease to share deep thoughts and get the most out of the session by digging deeper.

SB - NHS Occupational Therapist

Thank you for your time and kindness Deborah.

Deborah created a safe space and offered protected time for reflection, learning and growth. We had honest discussions in our sessions, I was able to develop clear goals, and identify strategies to utilise both within both my work and life. I admired her thoughtfulness and use of pause when carefully contemplating her comments. This is something I plan to take forward within my own interactions.

GH - NHS Director

She really saved me from myself!

I loved working with Deborah, she really helped me to work out for myself what I really wanted out of the coaching and how I could achieve it. She used tools that were so helpful to me.

ON – clinical research midwife

Working with Deborah was a really valuable experience.

Deborah’s approach was very open and patient. She gave me the opportunity to explore my thoughts and feelings in an unhurried way, giving me time to think and articulate myself. She was very insightful but encouraged me to lead the discussion or determine what I wanted to get from the session. When I asked for more practical tools to help she made suggestions and we tried some in the session and she encouraged me to try in practice.

FC - Learning Experience Manager

Being coached by Deborah has not only helped me to make progress on my goals, it has also helped my learning and development as a coach.

Deborah is very authentic with a vibrant energy, and her style of coaching is very dynamic. She is creative in the way she integrates coaching techniques which helped me gain different perspectives on my challenges. She was adept at using visualisation techniques to transport me to my desired state. I can still vividly remember the feelings evoked during those visualisations and they have been powerful in motivating me to continue with the resulting actions.

KS – NHS Service manager

I could not have asked more from a coach and the entire process has been life-changing for me!

Deborah was an absolutely amazing coach. From the initial meeting I felt at ease and able to speak freely and without judgement. She was sensitive to some of the more difficult topics we discussed and gave me tools which were relevant and effective me in managing situations myself. Deborah is extremely skilled at what she does and is very approachable. She is also extremely knowledgeable in what she does. No topic was out of bounds and she knew when to interrogate my ideas and perception, while remaining professional and caring throughout.

IH - ITU Nurse

I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

From our first session Deborah had a warmth, openness and professionalism that immediately put me at ease. She has an incredible skill in picking up on both obvious, but also small cues and allowing an individual to delve into these to help them understand them better. She was able to both allow me time and space for learning and self-development, while also offering her advice, tools and expertise delivered with a calm and confident approach. Sessions were structured and included practical exercises which I found hugely helpful. Some of which I still use daily now.

LM – Clinical Psychologist

Deborah also has an ability to bring humour and irreverence into sessions, which I’ve appreciated greatly!

Deborah brings a unique mix of skills and qualities into the coaching realm. She is able to make space for difficult conversations whilst holding a firm and supportive boundary. She listens carefully to work out the nature of the problem we are discussing, not rushing in to provide solutions until this has been achieved. This reminds me of the quote from Einstein that says something like ‘if I had an hour to solve a problem, I would spend 55 minutes defining the problem and 5 minutes solving it’. This capacity to resist stepping in before having a good enough understanding of the issue is enormously powerful.

RH - Consultant Clinical Psychologist

She brings energy, enthusiasm and a focus on possibilities, strengths and solutions that is empowering.

DC was a fantastic coach. She was well organised helping us make good use of the time, but also friendly creating a safe context to explore difficulties. She helped structure the discussion, while allowing plenty of time for me to express myself. She was a great listener, and while bringing forth my preferred practices I felt she helped me develop new ideas and ways forward also.

HF - Clinical Psychologist

I’ve noticed a big impact on my way of thinking and approaching challenges which is a testament to Deborah’s skill

Deborah is an incredibly skilled coach. She asked questions and used her skills in way that seemed so effortless and natural, which helped it to feel like a conversation and not someone following a script/guide.

VK - NHS Physicist

It has been inspirational working with Deborah

Deborah has been extremely good not only at guiding me but also checking in with me in-between and during the sessions to ensure I was getting what I needed out of the sessions and I was feeling comfortable with her approach.

JS - Adult with ADHD

If you need help managing and controlling your emotions then Deborah is the perfect woman for the job. Thank you Deborah!

I have been having sessions off Deborah for the past 3-4 months and she has been brilliant throughout. She has tailored the sessions to a way that fits me and my ADHD best so that I get the most out of them. She has taught me how to notice, embrace and work with my emotions and anxiety, teaching me techniques that bring the best out of me as a person. In the short time we have been working together both my friends and family have noticed a big improvement in me.
