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

Barbara is an extremely supportive coach. She is very intuitive about where I am and meets me there with grace and support. I tend to be very hard on myself, "drill sergeant-ing" myself into getting things done that I don't really want to do. Self-care often feels like an undeserved luxury. When my partner passed away, I found it difficult not to get "judgy" with myself about all the things I was not doing. Even though our coaching focus was my business website, Barbara was expert at meeting me where I was in each session and allowing me to process when needed -- always gently supporting me back to my goal while holding space for my self care. She masterfully helped me to process my grief and the impact it had on my business AND make progress WITHOUT judging myself or beating myself up. It feels like nothing short of a miracle for me.
Barbara is a gifted coach -- asking incredibly insightful questions, holding space, and doing all of the things that a good coach will do for you. Her superpower, however, is her presence and intuitive sense of what you need in each and every moment and unwaveringly holding your agenda as tightly or loosely as you need. She is masterful at bringing that agenda into the moment, sparking connections and insights, and supporting progress in your way, in your time. Brilliant. HIGHLY recommend Barbara!
