I was so fortunate to hear about Victoria's coaching sessions thanks to a friend's recommendation. I was at a stage where life had brought me much joy and excitement with my family complete and a wonderful experience living abroad. But like many mums with young children I was stuck: how to move forward with my personal and professional life? And during lockdown and a pandemic?
I felt I could speak so openly to Victoria: she's attentive, discrete and dedicated. She provided that special coaching relationship, a wonderful tool which helped me analyse why I felt paralysed, where I wanted to be and help me move my life forward.
Providing encouragement and guidance every step of the way Victoria showed a real desire to help me change my challenges into success: I got a job I wanted - despite these harsh covid times - and I found a new balance in my personal life. I would highly recommend having Victoria as a coach: her sessions are that precious missing link which got me where I wanted to be.

I contacted Victoria initially about a career change but it soon became apparent that the real issue at hand was my relationship with my husband.
Victoria helped me see through the fog of being in the centre of everyday living (and the negative interactions with in that) to seeing the situation as an outsider looking in. This gave me a lot of clarity, I could see the relationship as it was and we delved in to why and how I could deal with the situation better.
Victoria helped me unravel everything and then I could see a clearer path to take. By talking things through I was suddenly able to recognise behaviours and understanding the reasons behind them was a huge step to being able to deal with them better.
The sessions are hard work, it was not always easy for me but Victoria is there all the way asking the right questions to help you get there yourself. I always felt she was really listening and felt very safe in her hands. I would 100% recommend her.
I am hugely grateful for the journey we went on together.

Victoria helped me to look at my life in a more positive way. I started off wanting a five year plan which would lead to a career change but I soon realised that so many big things were going on in my life (including expecting my second child) that actually I needed to live in the present more. Victoria’s excellent listening skills and questions led me on a journey to self reflection on a lot of the ‘negative’ things in my life, many of which I have been able to turn into positives. This new perspective has completely worked for me in my life right now and I am now able to have a word with myself when self doubt/negative thoughts arise. I will definitely be reaching out to Victoria again in the future.
