Client testimonials

After redundancy, my confidence was at rock bottom. Karen helped me see my strengths again and supported me to work out my next steps without pressure. I feel more positive and in control of my future.”
(Adult client )

Having always been in the same job for almost 30 years, being made redundant out of the blue felt like a real slap in the face for me and I didn’t know what to do, or what I could actually do. I completed the Firework Programme with Karen and it has opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for me. I decided that it really was time for something new, and this coaching helped me gain a new perspective and challenged me to try new options. I’m now working in a completely different industry and cannot thank Karen enough.  (Adult Client)

 Reaching my 50’s and feeling life was passing me by, I got in contact with Karen to see if coaching would help. We did some work around menopause and how this can impact on us all, but focussed on the positive elements that it brought, and then did some of the Firework units – and it was really great ! I feel like I have a new zest for life. Karen challenged me with the right mixture of empathy and straight talking and tasked me with getting out of my comfort zone. We now meet for monthly coaching sessions while I consider my career and life goals.  

 I have always struggled with my anxiety and worrying about what others think or feel about me, and after leaving school, really got to a point where I was barely leaving the house. My mum had met Karen at a business event locally and mentioned my situation, so we made contact and have been meeting online over the past couple of months. I still have a way to go, but I’m already feeling much better and learning new coping strategies. I would really recommend getting in contact with Karen if you feel you are in a similar position to me.  

Before working with Karen, I had no idea what I wanted to do and felt really anxious about the future. She helped me break things down into small, manageable steps and believe in myself again. I’m now in college and actually feel excited about what’s next.

Karen didn’t judge me or rush me. She really listened and helped me understand what I’m good at. I feel way more confident talking to people and going for opportunities I would have avoided before.

I’d lost motivation and felt stuck. Working with Karen helped me feel calmer and more focused. I now have a plan and the confidence to follow it.
