Career Change and Life Transformation Coaching
Testimonials
"Annette has made a significant impact on my life and career. She has helped me to find and maintain my own self confidence and belief, whilst still grounding me in the reality of finding my own career path. She has shown me the importance of balancing life and work and that they are both just as important as one another.
When I began my coaching with Annette, I had just graduated, I was struggling to focus on a career path and was too afraid to approach any company for fear of my own inadequacy. Annette’s coaching has taught me that I was always capable and successful I just needed the tools to be able to see it, post Annette’s coaching I secured a 6 month placement with a company I admired and work that I loved.
Her way of coaching is gentle and encouraging and without Annette I wouldn’t have achieved what I have in the last year. I couldn’t thank her enough for all of the guidance and support she has given me to help me find the right path for me and inspiring me to believe in myself long after our coaching sessions have ended. Thank you Annette!" AK
"Thank you for being so invested, so encouraging and so committed to supporting me as I move onto what I hope will be a wonderful,bright, new future.
As you know, I had relatively clear career goals, but there were some fundamental elements in my career planning which were missing and ultimately holding me back. Encouraging me to dedicate time to considering my core values, reflecting on my limiting beliefs, interests and passions allowed me to step outside of my self-imposed box, and be open to pursuing my genuine ambitions. Your guidance and role as my accountability partner were invaluable.
You are a gifted facilitator, a trusted advisor and a wonderful coach. You have made a lasting impact to my career!"

“My coaching experience with Annette took me on a journey which helped me to clarify what’s important to me, recognise what I have to offer, and set realistic targets. Annette’s expert guidance has been instrumental in helping me to achieve some long held aspirations, and make much needed changes to my life. Her style is both gentle but straightforward."
She provided me with the right balance of insight and practical tools to help me work towards and ultimately achieve my goals. I have found Annette to be an excellent listener. She is sensitive, intuitive, caring and very easy to work with whilst remaining challenging, focussed and ensuring that I move forward. She approaches her work with love, enthusiasm and bucket loads of wisdom.” M L
“I have faced some enormous personal challenges. Annette has helped me to deal positively with these challenges, and thanks to her invaluable support I have been motivated to take action to resolve my problems, rather than sinking into a morbid cycle of depression and low self-esteem."
I am now planning a new life and career overseas: it is inconceivable that I could have made and executed these plans without her encouragement. Today I am in a very much better place, and I am so grateful to her for the incisive and compassionate direction she has provided.”C.G.
Annette has been my voice of reason after I graduated, at the time I was feeling very confused about what it was I wanted to do. I was fearful of visualizing my future, with many thoughts of self doubt and immense pressure on choosing a job that was specific to my degree.
Annette has allowed me to realise what I want, and I now feel empowered to say what it is I want, in my career and other parts of my life. She has given me the guidance to address habits I have had for a lifetime that have prevented me from making my own decisions, and at the same time taken a weight off of those decisions, we can always change our minds!
If you are struggling to see where it is you are going, or feel like you are simply going in the direction you think you are supposed to based on other people’s opinions, Annette can really help you visualise your future in a clearer and calmer way by finding out who you are, what you want, how this aligns with your personality, and how to get there from where you are now. Thank you Annette!
