Access to Work Coaching
CLIENT
TRANSFORMATION
"Being able to talk through what once felt like impossible tasks, such as delivering an in-person presentation, has been incredibly empowering. What seemed unachievable before now feels within reach, and I can see myself growing in confidence as I embrace challenges and new opportunities I would have previously shied away from. I will be forever grateful for your guidance, support, and the space you provided for me to grow not just professionally, but personally. What I have gained from our coaching sessions goes beyond work."
It has been transformative in
all areas of my life!

Co-Coaching has been incredibly beneficial for developing my working relationship with my manager. It identified multiple ways to improve my supervisions, which have had a significant impact on them. Co-Coaching was an excellent opportunity to reflect on how I work, as there were multiple perspectives to build a better picture. My manager was able to gain a much deeper understanding of ADHD and how it impacts me in my role. I was able to discuss with my manager multiple areas that I struggle with, and reflect on the underlying causes.
