more reviews on coaching

“I had the pleasure of meeting Helen at an education workshop she facilitated.  It was following this workshop I commenced coaching classes with Helen and WOW what a difference this made from the first coaching session.  Helen’s balance and listening skills along with her intuition was invaluable to the learning process.  You gain insight not only to yourself but also your value to those around you. This allows you to progress and make decisions for yourself.  Not only have I gained clarity professionally, but my personal life has also blossomed. I have not looked back."  
Kay Duperouzel January 2014  

“When I asked Helen to be my coach, I was experiencing a less than satisfactory lifestyle.  Work was demanding and stressful and home life was not much better.  I was looking for a coach that could help me find myself and show me how to get out of this ‘bad’ place. 

“Helen offered a unique style of coaching.  Her ability to ‘cross coach’ between life, work and relationships was exactly what I needed.  Nothing was outside of her capacity to listen, provide insight and empower my very inner self.  
“The change has been nothing less than remarkable.  In 3 short months, I have found enthusiasm for life and I’m ready for new challenges.  I feel confident, much stronger and my place in life has re-established itself.  Helen has helped me to identify what life is for me!

“I feel privileged to have been coached by someone that relates on a personal level while still providing a professional service.  Helen traverses beyond the walls of work/life balance to embrace the essence of me as an ‘entire’ person.  Helen is truly an inspiring and talented coach.” 
Chris Lewis, Manager Compliance Assurance Office of the Chief Information Officer Government of South Australia

I have never thought of using a life coach before, but when I attended a seminar held by Helen, I felt instantly drawn to her personality and persona and wad delighted to discover that she was a Life Coach outside of training. In an intensive coaching program, I discovered a few things about myself that helped to unlock a few things that had been concerning me about my personal life outside of my career. In the short time that I have spent with Helen, I have managed to understand a lot about myself that I didn't know before. Helen is a wonderful person and very easy to talk with and great at helping me to discover my path with great support and encouragement.

“Taking coaching sessions with Helen has allowed me to take a step back and look at not only how my work can be achieved in balance with the rest of the demands on life but also how my life goals can be achieved. Most of all I’ve learnt to have fun. Helen uses great skills as a totally non-judgemental listener with self directed methods that are practical and easy. I would thoroughly recommend Helen as a coach for workers at any career level.”

“I turned to coaching because I was not sure about the best way to progress my career. I had already made career decisions that I felt uncertain about. I knew that other such decisions awaited me in the future. I was sick and tired of the sleepless nights, and of the nagging uncertainties (“should I?’, “shouldn’t I?”, “what if I do”, “what if I don’t????”). I wanted to be able to move forward with confidence.

When I called Helen for my complimentary trial session, I didn’t know what to expect. But Helen led the way. At the end of that session, I felt relaxed, energised and really excited about the possibility of living a life that was in accord with my deepest aspirations and values. I knew then that a coaching program with Helen would be an invaluable investment in my future.

Helen is warm, intuitive and practical. She has helped me to get “back on track”. Through our sessions, I have become mindful again of the things that are really important to me.

We have worked hard over the past few months. With Helen’s encouragement and support, I have been able to identify and clarify my vision of the life I really want to be living. Amazing things have happened during this time. Career opportunities have opened up. In many areas of my life, I am accomplishing what I previously thought to be beyond my reach. I have learnt to incorporate into daily living some practices that energise and replenish me.

I feel that I am now embracing the future, rather than struggling with it. I feel that I am living a life that is really mine.”

"Commitment, Care and Constructive thought towards a chosen and created future: Helen's coaching has enabled both of us to carry this vision together even when my courage failed and my care factor was zero.  Helen's coaching enabled and engaged my commitment and strength on a personal level to counteract negative thought and move myself forward in the goals we established together " 
Megan Tassell, Principal Northingle Primary School

“What an inspiration! I felt extremely energised after I completed my session with you, I felt I could take on the world - you have a very special gift indeed!” 
Kim Young, Training Specialist, Adelaide

I felt totally lost and confused allowing personal and work stresses to take over my life, before commencing a short coaching intensive with Helen. Helen was the light I needed at the end of a long dark tunnel who guided me to identify a clear direction forward. In the short time we worked together I have felt myself become stronger ready to cope once more. Thankyou Helen for your kindness and understanding.

What I learnt during the personal coaching intensive with you has helped me immensely. I didn't think changing 4-5 small things in my life could make such a big difference! In fact it has proven to me that changes don't need to be monumental to make an impact. They are certainly more sustainable. When I fall out of the routine and I feel down or frustrated - I don't give up or 'beat myself up' because I've dropped the routine... I just pick them up again, carry on and feel better for doing so. Thanks Helen. Ursula Thornquest, Marketing Specialist,  Adelaide
