Client Testimonials
“Thank you Helen for being an amazing coach and mentor. I have really enjoyed working with you. In my years of work experience you are the first person to help me gain self-confidence which helps me with my interviewing skills and has enabled me to appreciate just how much I have achieved in my career to date. I’m grateful for your advice as you have helped me resolve my career struggles and provided tools / lessons / insights that I can continue to use to clarify what’s important to me in my life and career going forward.”
— Louise, Health & Safety Manager
“No doubt there's some pithy saying about never getting coaching from a friend (and Helen is a friend). And as someone who has had a fair bit of professional coaching and leadership development, I was setting her up for a potentially difficult situation when she offered to coach me through a really tough professional challenge. She was brilliant. She led me through a technique I hadn't used before, which was really powerful and helped me see my situation in a whole new way. She was also kind and patient. And she did all of this via WhatsApp from Spain, while I was at home in Aotearoa New Zealand. Helen is an excellent coach, and remains an excellent friend, so she's definitely doing something right.”

“I came to Helen feeling unfocused with a lack of passion in my career. On starting my coaching journey, I was quite nervous and knew I would have to allow myself to be vulnerable. Through Helens approach I felt comfortable to open up. She provides an environment where I feel safe, relaxed with no judgement being made. Through her great skill set as a coach, Helen has challenged me to look to myself for the answers, and through this, I have been able to explore my values, goals and ultimately myself. I love that I can be myself and the tools that Helen uses allows me to be creative and gain a deeper understanding. As I continue my coaching journey with Helen I am excited as the goal I initially came to Helen with is still in fruition - to find my passion again I had to find myself first and because of her this has been possible.”

“I engaged Helen’s coaching services to help me work through an opportunity to consider a change of job, after being in the same role for 17 years. During our sessions, she helped me challenge my thinking and assumptions, and make a plan for assessing my options. Working with Helen helped break the decision process into manageable bites and gave me the courage to back myself and make a change. I can honestly say without her input and encouragement, I probably would have taken the comfortable easy option and maintained the status quo! If you want to grow both personally and professionally then I highly recommend working with Helen.”

“Helen is patient and offered guidance and structure when needed but also space to explore when appropriate. She got to know what worked best for my learning style and facilitated exercises to help me reflect, learn and grow. Helen always followed up with support and offered exercises to enhance and further stretch what we had worked on in our sessions. Helen didn't give me all the answers, but instead gave me the tools, space and structure to find them myself! Much more beneficial in the long run! Helen helped me approach issues differently so that I could explore different routes instead of taking the usual path of what is easiest and most comfortable.”
— Manager, Not-for-Profit, New Zealand
“Helen always had tools at the ready to go deeper into a specific area, and was great at empowering me to find my own answers rather than telling me what I should do. I felt very supported throughout our process, and have made a lot of progress both personally and professionally since we started working together.”
— Founder & Creative Director, Spain
“Helen has a wonderful ability to create a calm, safe space from which you are free to explore. A space to play, to be messy, to listen deeply. Professional, warm and attentive, she is there to support you, to ask, not tell- allowing you to discover your own truths, your own unique path.”

“I was stuck and overthinking everything, blocking me in moving forward with promoting my new small business online. Helen somehow managed to help me get perspective, clarity and rationalised my thinking. I came away from my first session with a new positivity, a clear achievable action plan & toolkit, and inspired for the change. Helen is non-judgemental, approachable and tack-sharp, she will probe you and you will feel like you’ve had a mental workout, but the results are so worth it. I wish I’d done it months ago.”
