What my Clients say...

"It’s been full steam ahead since working with Deborah. Even though I had a lot of the answers and felt I knew what I must do Deborah’s ability to keep things simple yet sharply focused was inspiring. Needless to say after been coached by Deborah I have achieved not only in all of the areas I wanted to but in a period of eighteen months I went way beyond and achieved all my other targets which were on a timeline set over twenty four months. Truly a worthwhile investment in myself."

Graeme Layzell: Accredited Hypnotherapist and Sports Coach

"Thanks for all your help. It was good to sit and talk with someone outside of my situation, who was able to offer simple and effective steps to getting my life back on track as well a sympathetic ear"

"I think one of the most important things you did for me was to metaphorically strip me down to who I really am and what makes me tick. That was very useful and has formed the foundation for all my plans for the future including, by the way, purchasing a small place in the UK which I can rent out for the winter and then renting somewhere in the Rockies for 6 months. I'm aiming for winter 2007/8 in the USA so watch this space!"

"You DEFINITELY made our lives better. It's taken the tension out of our relationship and made me a much better listener and co-driver rather than captain in our relationship. It's also made Richard realise he's got to take responsibility for moving things on otherwise it won't work smoothly. He's getting better at saying what he thinks and saying when he hasn't given something any thought at all - and I'm getting better at giving him the space to speak, which is definitely a gift you gave us. Being given dedicated time to focus on what we wanted and making us feel you genuinely cared about each of us as individuals separate to as a couple helped us feel less threatened and more understood through the process. I think this skill of being understanding and committed to your client to the total exclusion of any personal 'agenda' at any point is what makes you such an exceptional coach, and puts you in a league of your own!"

Emma (Life Coach) and Richard (I.T. Manager)

“Following our first meeting I came away inspired to get going. The sessions with you made a huge contribution to the way I approached the task. Most appreciative thanks."

J Johnston

“I would like to pay tribute to the excellent business coaching skills of Deborah. I have been a client of Deborah’s for over four months; I first attended her sessions when I was finding difficulty in my career. Deborah’s professional coaching was a clear light and a sensible voice that shifted my focus to a more positive approach. Deborah has never told me what to do, but rather she took the time to help me find out what was best for me and then set about encouraging and inspiring me to achieve my goals. 

The results have been remarkable. My business has increased significantly and each day is brighter and clearer. Deborah I salute your professional coaching and I would like to thank you personally for all your invaluable help."

“I just wanted to update you to let you know what a tremendous positive effect you had.

I shortly will be starting my career again with a fresh start and I cannot wait. I gave up smoking 4 months ago and have already lost a stone and a half (my target was June 04). I stood on Easter Island on February the 18th of this year and was totally overwhelmed.

Thank you. My next goal is to write a new list of goals, which I have now proven are achievable. Hope you are well, love your website!”

S Oliver Financial Consultant

“I really enjoyed our two sessions – sometimes you connect with someone and I felt we did. The confidence log has worked wonders. I have so many entries and actually hear the praise now whereas I don’t think I ever listened properly before. Brilliant. I have used the grid to look at priorities and am endeavouring to address work life balance issues – doing well so far. I have written targets to achieve for each month of 2004.

Anyway all the above was by way of saying thank you. The two sessions have really helped me and I am keeping positive. I have already recommended you to a friend. Thanks for all your help.”

Head Teacher

"Thank you so much for your session with me on Thursday. I found it thought provoking and eye opening in many ways. I felt very confident and safe in your company. It is, after all, a situation in which you do not always know what you are going to reveal!

I can certainly envisage using you again and would have no hesitation in recommending you to others."

J Tye  Graphic Designer

“The goal setting and encouragement from my coach led to me achieving things in my life, which at that time I could not find the personal motivation to face. Such supportive one to one engagement allows one to regain focus or develop personal aspirations in secure surroundings. The questioning of my personal beliefs and considerations worked both ways – were they right? – could I be wrong?? A positive experience without a doubt.”

M Gamlin - Engineer

"I was slightly sceptical when I had my first coaching session because I am an older lady and have experienced a lot in my life. Deborah turned things around for me in a very positive way. Now I look at life and realise there are so many options. I feel fired with ambition. She has been very professional in all our dealings, really great. I really recommend it!"

K Hyde - Retired

“With coaching I found that together we could create solutions that were perfectly tailor-made to my new role and therefore allowed me to be much more productive. I would recommend that changes in your life can be better managed by using a coach”.

A Burgin Associate Director

“Working with Deborah has enabled me to identify what I really want to achieve in my personal life. I have direction and purpose and most importantly, belief in myself”.

J Layzell - Human Resources Manager

“With Deborah’s coaching I have realised how much more fulfilling my life can be both professionally and personally. I have rediscovered my enthusiasm in all that I do.”

C Hall - Teacher

“I really really feel that our sessions were the catalyst for my new positive approach and am truly thankful for that.”

A Marshall - Engineer

“My sessions with Deborah have enabled me to clarify some fundamental issues and given me the insight and confidence to move forward in my personal and business life. I have benefited enormously from her sensitive yet practical approach.”

P Fielding - Psychologist

"I found Deborah’s approach to coaching motivating, supportive and challenging when required. She helped me to create more space in my life to do the things I enjoy. "
