Reviews
Supporting individuals to thrive so they can bring their best to work and life is what makes my life so fulfilling. You can find here what clients have had to say about the experience of working with me.
Individuals
Individuals come to me for coaching support and nutritional therapy services, usually for a period of at least 4 months. Working together we explore practical and personalised ways for them to achieve the goals they desire in a way that’s sustainable for the long term.

1-2-1 Coaching – “I have thoroughly enjoyed the coaching sessions – what a positive impact you are having on my work, life and personal well-being. The sessions are really productive and thought-provoking and make me feel motivated to improve and venture outside of my comfort zone. Your approach is always one which is subtle but impactful, thus striking the perfect balance.” – Customer Services Professional
1-2-1 Coaching – “I was dealing with a difficult work situation that I’d never experienced before and it was impacting me both at work and at home. I was feeling really isolated and struggling to cope. Having sessions with Deb was the best thing I could have done. She helped me to break the problems down and create specific action plans to help me tackle different things as they came up, as well as being a support to just talk things through with. I’ve had been having sessions for a couple of months and I genuinely don’t think I could have got through this without Deb. Her support and guidance has been incredible.” – Communications Manager
1-2-1 Coaching – “Due to increased workload I found myself unable to cope with the demands and pressures of work and became unwell. A job I have been doing successfully for 10 years, and I could no longer cope with and found myself in an unusual situation. I can honestly say that after chatting with Deborah I felt like a weight had been lifted, even after our first session. I found that she really listened and was able to understand what support I needed very quickly. I was able to put a plan in place of how to return to work and how to approach this with my organisation. She made me feel reassured in my approach, gave me the confidence I needed to get back on track, and gave me helpful coping techniques which I could put into practice on a daily basis. I wouldn’t be back on track today without her help and support.” – Medical Coordinator

Nutritional Therapy – “I felt I was fairly well informed about nutrition but with so much conflicting advice it is easy to get confused. With first class nutritional advice from Debs I have been able to make informed choices about my diet and lifestyle and the results have been very beneficial. I feel I am now empowered with the knowledge of how a balanced, nutritionally sound diet can help to achieve an optimum level of good health and a feeling of well-being.” – Finance Manager
Strengthscope Review – “I really valued my discussion about my career journey and what my strengths and weaknesses are and how to turn them into positives. I can’t recommend Deborah enough, she was approachable, friendly and very patient. I wish I had spoken to her earlier in life as she made it clear where my characteristics could be used to my advantage.” – Quality Manager

1-2-1 Coaching – “My new year’s resolution was to bring my busy and overwhelming life back to order. With Deborah’s guidance I’m taking more control, say yes to less and being more selective with my time. I’m enjoying more time with my gorgeous family and having more “me time”. I’m feeling reconnected, mindful, energised and inspired and that feels amazing!” – Busy Working Mum & Manager
1-2-1 Coaching – “I started working with Deborah when I was at a crossroads career-wise, work-life balance was overwhelmingly in favour of work and I needed a plan! Deborah was recommended by someone I trust, her background had many similarities to mine, and when we met she was calm, objective and we clicked.
All of my objectives were achieved, and even more, above and beyond that I dared dream of. I would go as far to say my experience has been life-changing. I feel so much better health, sleep and confidence-wise, I understand my psychological and physiological behaviour more, and I know when to have a word with myself and manage my thought processes much better!” – People and Operations Leader

1-2-1 Coaching – “Her intuitive coaching and leadership has allowed me to develop skills which have supported me having a very successful and nourishing career. During times of challenge professionally she’s provided guidance, support and nurtured me through. Never solving the problem for me, Deb simply helped me find my way through for myself. Her focus on personal reflection too ensures no experience is lost, there’s something to be learned from everything, she helps you find the good in whatever you’ve gone through.” – Programme Manager
1-2-1 Coaching – “I first began working with Deborah when I was suffering the effects of burnout and feeling extremely stuck and lost. She helped me focus on what mattered to me most and make the changes I needed to make to get where I needed to be. After each session, I would feel reenergised and I would get straight to implementing the steps we had outlined within our session. Everything has been so easy to implement into my busy lifestyle. I am now back to feeling like ‘me’ again! I grew so much in confidence during the process. Deborah is the gentle, motivating push that everyone needs to realise their true potential.” – Business Owner & Busy Working Mum
Nutritional Therapy – “What a valuable & much needed service. Deborah takes the time to get to know you & your lifestyle. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the nutrition side but also on much wider ways to improve wellbeing.” – Entrepreneur & Business Owner
Organisations
I support organisational teams by delivering presentations, workshops and 1-2-1 coaching, helping people to thrive in order that they can excel in the workplace without sacrificing their health and personal life to do so.
1-2-1 Coaching – “I was struggling with juggling my life and work after some significant changes to my job, and the corona virus lockdown. I was home with my child 24/7 and I felt a constant pressure to work and parent in new ways – I felt completely unbalanced, out of control and like I never had a minute to breathe. Deb helped me to explore the situation and to recognise new ways that I could find moments of freedom from the pressure and responsibility. She was excellent at guiding me to delve deeper into what I was struggling with. Her insights and approach helped me to recognise what I needed in those moments and take control. I can’t tell you enough about the benefits! Everything was at my pace, so I never felt any pressure, and I looked forward to our sessions and what I would learn from them each time.” – Senior Communications Manager

Resilience For Leaders Workshop – comments included “It was a really useful summary of stress and its impacts.”, “I enjoyed Deborah’s facilitation of discussion between the team. Deborah really knew her stuff and did an excellent job of leading the discussion and involving everyone to participate.”, and “It was a really clear and natural session – I came in thinking I wasn’t ever stressed, but now realise there’s so much more I can be doing to relax at work and help my mental health.” – Project Managers, Financial Services

Wellbeing Presentation – “Deborah delivered a keynote talk at our first ever digital wellbeing conference in January 2021 and was an absolute delight to work with before, during and after the event. Talking about her lived experiences with burnout, the session was inevitably fully booked to 250 max capacity on Microsoft Teams. Some of the comments from participants during the sessions were “a lot of what you said resonated for me and also a lot validated”, “absolutely loved that – thank you for sharing your experience”, “thank you so much, so useful and thought provoking”, “very inspiring, tears in the eye because of how relatable” and “I think a lot of us will recognize bits of this in ourselves.” I would highly recommend Deborah.” – HR Business Partner

1-2-1 Coaching – “I cannot thank you enough for the coaching and guidance you have given me over the last few months. It has helped me think differently and approach things in a manner I wouldn’t have thought of before. The practical tips and techniques you have given me are helping me immensely It’s been an absolute pleasure being coached by you.” – Senior Communications Manager, Financial Services
1-2-1 Coaching – “In the very early days of lockdown I was in a bad place. I remember so clearly being sat in my garden on the phone with Deb and I could barely get my words out. I was overwhelmed, frightened and lonely. From that first conversation I knew Deb was the perfect person to support me. She’s calm, kind, an incredible listener but she’s also gently firm with you when you need encouragement. Deb works in a logical and clear way. She’s pragmatic and with that she helps you take practical steps to achieve a goal, at the perfect pace. Over the course of several weeks and sessions she helped rebuild me. I just wish I could have a mini Deb on my desk all day, every day!” – Communications Manager
