Barbara was focused and practical in her approach which gave me an insight into my strengths and areas for development. This led me to focus more effectively and confidently on ways forward in self-development. I would recommend her approach.

Your coaching style is quiet and intuitive but no nonsense.
What worked well for me was the anchoring, I will use this to perform on stage and to go to supermarkets.
I learnt coping strategies for stress, for example the anchoring. However I also learned that I should not have got so stressed in the first place. The "will it matter in 5 years, a year, next week, tomorrow" will be something I will bear in mind from now on.
My goals at work have now changed as I will be working towards a qualification. You also saw me through difficult time at work when I struggled with my team.
Testimonial: Coaching helped me understand and deal with problems I faced at work. In turn, I will use the coping strategies I learnt to help me face problems in my personal life.

I wanted to find a job which provides at least £35k with Finance/ Management/Analyst / Accountant in the title which is meaningful to me and consistent with my value. Barbara provided customised support and different tools to help me understand my goal and help me make specific actions to achieve it, such as value tool, reflective diary, interview technique, anchoring confidence, broaden social network by using linkedin etc. Working with Barbara was a great pleasure, she is very empathetic and supportive throughout the whole process, I am not able to achieve my goal without her help. If you want to achieve your goal in life or at work, Barbara will be a person who you can talk to and help you along the way. She is great and I am so happy that I have met her. You should give a try, too.

I really appreciated the time that you gave to go through the coaching process.One of the things that I needed was assistance going through the decision process, and the space that the sessions gave me was invaluable. You spoke about all aspects of the process including emotions and blocks…your step by step approach enabled me to look at it more objectively
