Coaching Reflections
Over time, people I have coached have shared the positive impact our conversations have had on their lives...
Some were feeling burnt out or stuck, unable to progress. Others wanted to understand themselves more clearly or move forward with greater confidence.
I am sharing some of these reflections below (with permission), to provide a sense of how it feels to work with me as a coach, and the positive shifts that can be expected as a neurodivergent individual.
"I have ADHD and ASD, and approached Anna for help when I was being mistreated in a former role, constantly put down over my conditions, and effectively being told I wasn’t going to make it in a professional setting.
I can’t overstate the difference Anna made to me. She did a great deal to help me manage this and get through the experience, but more than that, her guidance and support helped completely transform how I view these conditions and my own capabilities.
Anna helped me break through several mental barriers, and I've managed to achieve significant career progression which I don’t believe would have happened without her.
Anna is absolutely fantastic at what she does, and she’s also one of the most genuine and empathetic people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.
I recommend her 100%, even more so if you are someone who struggles to express or share your challenges. She will really help you, and make you feel heard and seen."
Financial Services Consultant
"I've known Anna for many years and she is someone I completely trust. She is warm, positive, calm and completely non-judgemental, helping you to feel at ease, even in the most challenging situations.
Anna has an amazing way of helping you to see things in a different perspective, feeling lighter and more confident about working with your own strengths to take the best steps forward for your true self."
S.L. Senior IT Consultant
"As a working SEN parent, my sense of who I was had been eroded over the years and I was exhausted trying to balance constant advocacy as a parent with work. I felt guilty everywhere in my life, that I was doing everything, but not doing anything well.
Anna helped me to develop strategies to protect my energy and regain my confidence and identify, helping me to avoid burnout."
L.A. SEN Parent
"Anna is empathetic, calm and holds space for you, allowing you to explore your experiences at a comfortable pace, coming away feeling more confident about the steps to take next.
Anna helped me to build effective methods to navigate my neurodivergence whilst building self-belief. I now enjoy a more positive, enriched life because of Anna's support"
Director, Client Experience & Business Development
"My sessions with Anna gave me the direction and confidence I needed going into the world of work. By helping me to identify my strengths, interests and my ideal work environment, she gave me the tools I needed to find roles and companies that aligned with my skills and values.
More importantly, Anna showed me how to recognise and articulate my strengths and how important the right workplace culture is to long term success."
L.T. Project Manager
"Anna supported me through some really difficult times and is such a kind, genuine person. Thank you to Anna."
