What others say

Coaching client (6 sessions)
“Hard work, but very enjoyable and hugely rewarding. Initially I didn’t want to address lots of things to do with my business, finance and home-life, because dealing with them seemed scary. You give supportive suggestions and bring together confused thinking very well. You expect your client to do the work, so no easy answers! You seem very interested and involved in my issues – I felt very listened to and understood. You enabled me to make sense of my issues and I was able to see how to move forward on each, having made them concrete and no longer vague. I liked putting things on paper, as random thoughts, as diagrams and as pictures. I’d never thought of that before. The room was lovely and thanks for the tea!”

“I am clearer on the emotional difficulties I get myself into at work and feel better about treating myself as equal to others. You created a very open, caring atmosphere but it was still challenging. I found the relaxation exercises good (something I can’t usually do). Drawing things was a bit of a revelation as I was a sceptic, and it helped clarify certain issues in a way talking didn’t. Not intimidating as I have found before.”

“I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks very much for last Thursday - we enjoyed it very much and are applying what we learned. You should have seen M being assertive in a meeting on Monday - magnificent!”

Workshop participant
“Through gentle coaching and well-constructed and relevant questions, Bella enabled me to deconstruct my frantic thought processes and allowed me to focus on what I wanted to achieve, why and how. She helped me to identify my business and personal priorities, to recognise short-term objectives and how best to achieve them whilst also keeping in mind the bigger picture.

After working with Bella, I was much clearer about what I wanted to do, more peaceful and relaxed, and had renewed energy to make it happen. The process was healing and thought provoking at the same time, with an overriding feeling of positivity and calmness … thank you Bella”

Workshop participant
“Great group discussion and involvement throughout. Explanations behind behaviour interesting and aided self-awareness. Role-playing exercise was very valuable and informal conduct of the role plays in groups of 3 made it less intimidating and more rewarding than it might have been.”

Community work
“Thank you for visiting us here at the school. It was very inspirational for anyone thinking of setting up a business. I liked hearing about the challenges along the way, but it also sounds great as you can decide what happens. I really enjoyed this experience. Thank you again.
