What People Say

"She holds space for clients beautifully"

I would wholeheartedly recommend Helen as a coach. She is an incredibly warm and kind person who has a presence that makes you feel truly heard. She holds space for clients beautifully, enabling them to hone in on what it is that they really want and need to focus on. Guided by her skilful prompts, I made a lot of progress on a good range of work (and life!) issues in the sessions I had with her. Thank you, Helen!

"Helped me to gain much-needed clarity"

Helen has helped me to gain much-needed clarity on the type of role I want to move into and has helped me to feel much more confident about changing roles. She has helped me to take practical steps towards moving into a new role and has helped me stay accountable to the goals we have set in our sessions. I highly recommend Helen to anyone who is looking to make a career change, or simply looking to improve their confidence and sense of well-being in their existing role.

"I'm learning new skills on a weekly basis"

I came to Helen to help me transition out of my athletic career, which is challenging for me to process. I’m learning new skills such as improving my mindset, increasing my patience and tolerance towards myself and others and being more open to new ideas and perspectives. I come out of every session feeling refreshed, happy and buzzing. I’m then ready to prepare for the week ahead rejuvenated. This means I’m a better version of myself, as well as a better captain and teammate.

"Everyone came away feeling creatively empowered and inspired"

Helen delivered a brilliant session for She Breaks the Law on how to unlock our creative potential. We discussed how creativity makes us better thinkers, how it is necessary for well-being, how it reduces stress and keeps us healthy and had open discussion around what the barriers were. Helen speaks incredibly knowledgeably and her session is brimming with insight and practical tips. Everyone came away feeling creatively empowered and inspired.

"Helen has been incredibly empathic"

I’ve been working with Helen in some very challenging periods in my life. Helen has been incredibly empathic towards me, showing no judgment and pure concern for my wellbeing. She has provided a number of practical suggestions which I’m implementing gradually. Helen isn’t a soft touch at all and doesn’t let her clients walk away from the journey that they agree with her; but equally she shows through her own experiences how human and fallible we all are and has never allowed me to feel like a failure when I slip up. I am so blessed to know her.

"Helen helped me act on what is important to me"

I met Helen in 2021 and was immediately inspired by her unique coaching style, which puts wellbeing as the priority. Helen helped me find the time to act on what was important to me and to reignite the spark of passion for my work and life. Previously, I felt over-worked, stressed and busy but Helen helped me to clearly define my vision, set realistic and achievable goals, and ultimately create a happier and more balanced life for myself. This has in turn helped be more successful in my work. Thank you, Helen!
