“A wholehearted thank you for all your time. You were absolutely fabulous in your approach with me, combining kindness and understanding while we both tried to figure out what needs to happen for my well-being at work. It isn’t possible to describe and analyze events and context over seven long years but your patient listening ensured I got some important messages across.”
“I was in a bad place before starting my coaching sessions with Amanda. I had taken some time off work feeling a bit lost and learning some new diagnoses about myself such as ADHD along with burnout. Looking back at our sessions and how far I’ve come with Amanda I’m proud of the progress we’ve made. I realise that what I was missing was someone to illustrate my strengths, aims in life but most importantly have a practical approach to it. With my ADHD, I tend to dream a lot and get lost sometimes giving up on projects. What I really enjoyed about our sessions was how Amanda used her life and career experience to give me a step wise approach to solving things realistically. I’m thankful to have had the chance to talk to work with Amanda and I would recommend her to not only doctors, but to anyone who seems lost and needs a caring guiding hand/mentorship through a stressful time.”
“I have found Amanda very personable which made discussing personal and strongly emotive experiences significantly easier, especially, if you are an introvert and very private person as I am.
Since my main dilemma is related to my workplace, it was extremely helpful that she has a very good understanding of the environment the issues we discussed arose in. While some of the underlying issues are not going to change, I am adapting my coping mechanisms and re-evaluating my approach and attitude to those adverse circumstances. Doing so helped me to have a significantly improved insight and had a positive impact on my overall well-being which in turn has a positive effect on my work.”
“Firstly, Amanda is incredibly professional, calm and made me feel at ease talking about anything. I knew what was said was in confidence and with no judgement. Secondly, Amanda was methodical in her approach and highlighted areas of my life that needed work and that was not just professionally.
She allowed me to focus on what areas I wished to work on with the coaching and how best to approach the solutions or adapt to situations and colleagues which I found frustrating or difficult. I feel calmer at work and more able to relax in more stressful confrontational situations and I am happier in my work and homelife as a result.”
“I came to Amanda after a recommendation from my appraiser. I had been going through a number of difficult life experiences; divorce, a bereavement, and associated stress at work. From the first session, Amanda made me feel very much at ease. I appreciated the style of having an open conversation, followed by picking up on a theme of an important topic that arose during the chat.
Sometimes it felt like I had no idea what I would talk about, or why I was there. But each time, the process would flow naturally, and I always left the sessions feeling entirely more focused. I found Amanda to be a pragmatic life coach; solutions – focussed, but with an open and approachable style that made me feel at ease talking honestly about what could sometimes be difficult topics. The fact that she was a work colleague was also a bonus to me; knowing that when I talked about a work- related issue, she really understood exactly where I was coming from. Thank you so much Amanda from the bottom of my heart.”
