Professional Mentoring Testimonials

"I wasn't too sure what to expect when we first met for an exploratory session. I just knew I needed help to gain some clarity on my business and personal situation. After this initial meeting it became clear to me that I needed your help to define and achieve what success means to me. Over the last few months your non-judgmental listening coupled with insightful questioning has really helped me to understand some profound truths and has truly helped me to gain a clearer vision both for my business and personal life. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who is in neeed of a great coach and mentor to guide them towards greater success." Will C.

"Sue arrived in my life just at the right time when I was full of questions which themselves I hadn't quite managed to unearth. With her generous and wise attention I was able to formulate them as well as answer them for myself. Sue was able to open my eyes and allow me to discover what is really important to me and what is simply 'noise'. Three months after first meeting her I am now starting a new chapter of my life, away from London in Germany, full of excitement and energy." Rosa v.F.


"I like to think of myself as one of Sue's most difficult cases but Sue rose to the occasion unflinchingly. I have worked with Sue for about 10 months now (it doesn't seem like it) and it is thanks to her professionalism, hard work and understanding that I have now succeeded in resigning from my full time employment. That may sound a somewhat bizarre result but it was actually what I wanted and needed to do but just could not take the final step. It's an awfully long story but after having suffered from an MD who insisted on micro-managing me (and everyone else) for 9 years, I realised something had to go, particularly after being signed off by my GP with 'work related stress'. Sue has a tremendous talent for putting another perspective on situations and getting all sorts of thoughts to the surface so that they can be collated, prioritised and put to good use. I certainly didn't find it easy or particularly pleasant at times (it's amazing what skeletons there are stashed away in the mind) but like most things the more effort one puts in the greater the benefits. Sue was of course always there and available when a guiding hand was needed, which was quite frequently in my case. As a result of my resignation, a great weight has been lifted and there is an ever brightening light at the end of the tunnel. I am in the process of setting myself up as a Consultant Chemist and already involved in a couple of educational projects, one based in Richmond Park and the other to set a new World Land Speed Record. Some of this may work, some may not but at least I'm now at the helm and fully in control, which I certainly wasn't before. Thank you again Sue." Alan P.

"Your personal warmth is a signature of your coaching. It makes it so easy to trust you and, therefore, venture boldly into the difficult areas I'd avoid with someone less supportive. You ask intuitive questions that really challenge, and your hunches are often right on the mark. But you never left me in any doubt it was down to me to do the work." Fiona

"Thanks for everything over the last eight months! I looked to you for help in several areas, and you took me under your wing and guided me through a very difficult and, at times, traumatic part of my life. In that relatively short space of time you have given me new strength and confidence with which to address issues and for that I will be forever grateful." Paul A

"I walked away from our coaching sessions knowing that it was all right to feel what I was feeling and the choices I was possibly going to have to make having explored options in a considered, objective fashion. In our sessions, where no judgement was made, I was able to speak freely with you about what was going on, what I value and why it was OK to have the strength of my opinions and desires - not just about work but in my life in general. I suppose the biggest thing I learnt from our sessions is that I should not be so fearful of change and that I could walk away from my job not feeling like my world has ended! Thank you." Sam D, Events Coordinator

"Many things have happened since we started working together and I feel significantly more confident in all aspects of my life. I would liken your contribution to that offered by a plumber faced with a major blockage in a system poorly serviced over a long period of time. The first task is to get the water flowing again and then, as the blockage moves through the system, to keep it moving until the system is cleared and the water is running freely again. Ultimately how fast the water flows is down to how much the taps are opened up - and that's down to me." Duncan H, entrepreneur

"Sue has the gift of being challenging in a completely non-threatening way. Her positive approach makes moving forward feel like a natural process." David H, Finance Director

"I am more successful at my job. I have actually achieved my increased annual target by the end of the first quarter of this year which took me 12 months to achieve in the previous year. This resulted in a substantial increase in my commission." Jon B, Key Accounts Executive.

"Working with Sue has been a special experience: she encourages knowledge that is already in me to simply come to the surface. I have gained a lot of added self awareness." Sotiris J, owner of shipping company, Cyprus

"I have recently spoken with Sue about a number of matters both personal and professional that I wanted to change. Having spent time with her I find myself on a mission to make sure I change what I don't like in my life and have started questioning why I continue to do things the same way when I'm not happy with them. Sue has guided me - not told me - how to look at situations in a different light. Sue doesn't judge; she listens and then helps me look at things from a different perspective. I have no hesitation recommending her to anybody as, having experienced her mentoring, I know how well she does it." Patrick McD, Mortgage Adviser

"I cannot recommend Sue enough. I have changed and, as a result, my life has changed for the better. Sue is highly professional, wonderfully supportive, instinctive and fully present in everything she does. But perhaps more importantly for me is that here's a lady who lives what she teaches and is an example of how to live with dignity and integrity." Jane L

"Sue has a remarkable ability to gently challenge, to remain firm in that challenge, and to consistently hold the client accountable for their choices and actions. She is able to create a safe and supportive mentoring environment and I found myself opening fully up to her." Jim P, Business owner

"Thank you for allowing me to experience what an impact high quality mentoring can have." Janet P, HR Manager
