"Em makes me feel understood in a way that I haven't felt before"
~ Victoria P
I can't recommend Em enough! From day one, she will make you feel comfortable and accepted and that feeling only grows the longer you work with her. She has an uncanny knack of making you look at things differently and encourages you to notice and explore things in everyday life and not just in your sessions. You can 'be yourself' with her and not worry about judgement, feeling silly or misunderstood. The 'work' is hard...it can be confronting and challenging to do personal growth...but Em is always there (both in and out of sessions) to guide, encourage, support and listen. Not to mention, to celebrate 'wins' with you and to laugh...some of the best laughs I've had recently have been in her sessions. It's hard but she makes it fun and it's definitely worth it as she tailors everything to you individually. Em makes me feel understood in a way that I haven't felt before and working with her is changing my life. It might sound dramatic but it's the truth...she is guiding me and helping me make lifelong change that is for the better. You won't regret working with her! Thank you Em
"Em has helped me rebuild my trust in myself"
~ Jess R
I’ve been working with Emily for many years now. My friends, family and co-workers have been able to see the progress I’ve made thanks to her help. This past year we’ve been working on my ADHD and its relationship with my work. This has looked like Em helping me understand what ADHD is, how it affects me and things I can do to work with it not against it. The lack of judgement, total understanding and ability to normalise from Em has helped me rebuild my trust in myself. I’ve stopped internalising blame, punishing myself and I’m feeling stronger. She’s given me practical tools that I can use day to day and in difficult situations. I recommend her services to anyone who will listen!
"I thoroughly recommend Em to anyone looking for an ADHD Coach"
~ Bex B
I wasn't sure what to expect from an ADHD coach or even if engaging one would be helpful for me. But having met Em, I'm very glad that I did. Over the course of our sessions together, Em has helped me to unpick a lot of confusion and difficult feelings I was having around my ADHD diagnosis. Em's insight and gentle encouragement has helped me to better understand how I view my own neurodiversity, and how to better work with it instead of against it. As a result, I'm learning how to work in a way that works for me, and in a way that protects and builds my resilience, confidence, and mental health. And knowing that Em has ADHD herself and has much of the same lived experience that I do meant that our sessions felt like a real safe space for me to talk about the challenges of living with neurodiversity with someone who truly understands and will listen without judgment. In short, I thoroughly recommend Em to anyone looking for an ADHD life coach!
"I feel like I have been on a journey of self discovery!"
~ Viv C
I had been struggling with situations, particularly at work, which was causing stress and anxiety. I was also feeling a lack of confidence and constantly questioning myself; can I really do this? Am I good enough? My feelings were telling me ‘no’! Even small issues then became a big struggle to get through which was upsetting and tiring trying to avoid these. I catastrophized, worried, lost sleep and if the situation resolved I had a moment of feeling ok before running into the next issue and going downhill again. I reached out to a friend who had worked with Em and recommended her unreservedly. Em totally put me at ease straight away. Just getting to put how I felt into words and say them to someone who listened really created a sense of relief. I cannot overstate how important it was that I felt OK to talk. Em picked up on key words and thoughts, and recurring themes that I was not aware of myself. Asking questions about these really helped me take a step away from situations and look at how I was feeling and reacting to instances from a different perspective. There were times when finding a link or recognising something was emotional, but in a way that was a relief rather than stressful and I often felt a sense of buoyancy at the end of the sessions. I felt like I was taking positive steps forward which is a really good feeling. I feel like I have been on a journey of self-discovery. Em has enabled me to better understand myself and therefore be able to take more control and feel more empowered and more resilient. I am more able to recognise times when I self-sabotaging and help myself look at the situation from a new perspective. I also feel I am kinder to me, as it turns out constantly berating myself for how I am feeling doesn’t make me feel any better! The roller coaster of emotions feels a lot more of a gentle ride than when I first contacted Em. It has made a great difference to my wellbeing and I would absolutely recommend her as an amazing coach
"I'm the absolute happiest I've ever been"
~ Jess R
When I first started talking to Em I was struggling with goal management. I knew my goals, loose weight, learn to be happy at work, and be happy in general. I thought I needed to be better at dieting and stricter with exercise, make meditation a daily habit and make a cleaning rota and a meal plan. Poor Em spent the first few of our sessions helping me with all this. But I would constantly find reasons I was sad that day and deserved chocolate, a takeaway or to lie in bed because I was so exhausted. Eventually, once I’d let my walls down and we’d built a trusting relationship we managed to get to the crux of the matter. My self sabotage. Deep down I felt I didn’t deserve all the things I was aiming for and I was deeply sad. Over some sessions and the time between sessions with my thoughts and food for thought from Em I worked out my next steps. ​ I took a huge leap and left an unhappy marriage. I’d like to be clear that Em at no point advised me to do this. She just helped me find a love for myself, picture my future on my current path and be able to picture what was previously unimaginable to me, a future where I put myself first and went for what I wanted. ​ We established my core needs and worked determinedly to get them met. We’ve since had regular check ins. She’s always made time for me. What started as me hoping she’d help me loose weight and maintain household, has ended with me the absolute fattest I’ve ever been! BUT the absolute happiest I’ve ever been. ​ I’m now divorced, own my own home, debt free, spent quality present time with my kids, happily employed in a fulfilling role and I’ve not binged in the longest time. I know how strong I am, how capable I am and that all my other little goals will come in time. Lastly, I’ve met a wonderful man that meets those core needs. My gosh what a strange, new and wonderful feeling that is. Why on earth did I sabotage that away from myself all my life!
"I've completely changed my perspective"
~ Fi C
I contacted Em because I felt like I was getting in my own way when it came to accepting work and growing my business, and I found her approach refreshingly honest. What Em managed to do in our 2 hour intensive call was nothing short of impressive and I felt really went beyond finding coping strategies. I think it’s fair to say that I’ve never felt so studied (in a good way) by someone before. Em really challenged my thinking and brought up several things that had not ever occurred to me in connection to my problems. These are things that have fast become priorities for me to address, and have completely changed my perspective on the challenges I was having. It was proper hitting nail on the head stuff, and I’m still processing everything we spoke about. Em’s approach is gentle yet firm and she teases out nuances in what you are saying. I felt like she really got to grips with who I am and read between the lines in such a short space of time. All I can say is that if she can manage all that in just 2 hours, then I can only imagine how thorough and effective several sessions would be. - I’d highly recommend chatting with Em to anyone who is self sabotaging. A total game-changer for me.
" I felt safe to share my truth"
~ Meggie V
I wanted to work with Em because her energy was literally the most welcoming and non-judgemental I had felt in a long time. I felt very safe to share my truth and dig deeper into my self-sabotaging habits - an exercise that is definitely not easy to do. Em is an amazing listener and has fantastic insights, and truly is there for you throughout your journey. The door is always open and you can tell she truly wants to help. She has helped me identify self-sabotaging habits, as well as feelings and thoughts associated with them and with my self-image. I have much more awareness now and can catch self-sabotaging thoughts and actions much quicker -- and thankfully stop a lot of those habits! I have set a lot more boundaries (and learned to enforce them!), have set aside some time daily to give space to my emotions instead of burying them, and I have noticed I have much less breakdowns than I used to. In fact, I can't remember the last time I had one. I am slowly learning to feel my emotions daily and understand what my emotions want me to know, and Em is definitely to thank for this amazing process! Thank you Em!
"Everyone needs an Em in their life"
~ Caitlin J
Before starting with Em I’d never actually heard of a mindset coach and was a little apprehensive, but I cannot explain how much my life has changed and how I now rave to anyone who will listen how much they need an Em in their life! I have suffered with my mental health for years now and I’ve tried so many different types of therapy/counselling and not one have I looked forward to or genuinely felt good after or even felt that it’s helped. Em really does exactly what she says, coaches you to feel like the empowered individual you are! You’re not made to feel bad about your thoughts or feelings but you still end up understanding yourself and feeling amazing for it! I actually want to do the goals and actions we discuss which makes a big difference to actually achieving what you desire. I’m finally learning to love myself for every part of me, even the bits I never knew or understood. Em is constantly there for support, shes always a text away and is available on every platform so even just checking my social media she brings light to my life ; she’s built a wonderful online community that reminds you you’re not alone too. Meeting Em is one the best things I’ve ever done and no matter who you are or what you want I believe she will help you become the best version of yourself!
"I'm not scared of being vulnerable anymore"
~ Hayley R
Before I started working with Em I was struggling with a lack of confidence and self-belief. This was affecting me in work which was making me miserable , and in my relationships socially and with family which in some ways felt quite distant. ​ I really enjoyed working with Em, even when at times we were dealing with some uncomfortable subjects. I surprised myself with how I became increasingly transparent in how much I was willing to share. I have always felt I had a good level of self-awareness, but this really opened up things I hadn’t thought about before. I had no idea how much I had been self-sabotaging. Lots of self-realisation moments along the way! ​ The real change is in me and my confidence in myself and my abilities, I feel like I am more curious now and open to new things. I am not scared of being vulnerable anymore and this has really helped me to feel more connected in my relationships which is something that I realised is really important to me. ​ At work, I am in the same job but my feelings around it have changed, I am different! I am more bold in my choices, I say more in meetings and I don’t have the fear of criticism that I used to. I feel like I am ready to burst out of lockdown with this new confidence and take chances I wouldn’t have before. I am excited about what lies ahead. ​ Thank you Em, I have loved working with you!
