Testimonials

Mary Jane Miller

  • Rebuilt social confidence and widened friendship circles.

  • Stepped out of comfort zone to meet new, like-minded people.

  • Learned to embrace authenticity and self-acceptance.

  • Now focusing on improving physical health and overall wellbeing.

My coaching sessions with Louise have had a meaningful impact on both my mindset and my daily life. When I began coaching, I was feeling overwhelmed at home and struggling to find time or space to prioritise myself. Louise helped me explore what really mattered to me and supported me in setting realistic, achievable goals—particularly around reorganising my home and creating a calmer household environment. 

Through our work together, I developed practical strategies for managing my time, establishing boundaries, and making small, consistent changes that have added up to a big difference.

Most importantly, I started to value my own needs again, which has improved not just my personal wellbeing but the overall tone of family life. 

I’ve found Louise’s approach to be warm, thoughtful, and genuinely empowering. I would absolutely recommend coaching with her to others—she creates a space where you feel safe to reflect, take action, and grow.

Claire Fisher

  • Gained clarity on fitness and mental health goals.

  • Developed awareness of thought patterns and motivations.

  • Learned to replace self-criticism with self-kindness.

  • Built tools to stay focused and move forward with confidence.

I do feel I have benefited greatly from your coaching, I think my initial score for my social life/friendships section was only 1 out of 10, it took a few weeks but then I began to feel like I was making good progress in this area of life. I was attending events on my own, striking up conversations with people when out and about, being a bit more visible on social media, started volunteering at Greenheart Growers, as well as attending meditation classes, women’s circles and reiki events.

In the past I would describe myself as antisocial, but actually I've realised that I do like spending time with people who share similar interests with me and where I do not have to wear a mask, pretending to be something that I'm not.

I am learning to accept me for who I am and I think that's a kind, caring and sensitive person, I do not care for celebrity news or keeping up with the jones's and actually that's perfectly ok, it's just taken me a while to realise that. So most certainly, our coaching sessions have been hugely beneficial to me, thank you.

I'm looking forward to using some of techniques we've discussed to work on other areas of my life, my next challenge is to improve my physical health by losing weight, this will have a positive impact on my general wellbeing, hopefully keep my blood sugar levels under control, maybe even reverse my Type 2 Diabetes, as well as improving my body confidence, so this is certainly something worth working towards.

I just need to keep in mind the question...Why am I wanting to do this? I have discovered that writing things down can be a good reminder for me for how far I've come, and to motivate me to keep on going. 

I'd certainly recommend you as a coach to others, you have such a lovely manner, you're friendly, warm, and provide a safe space where I felt very comfortable opening up to you. I feel you really listened to me in a supportive, non-judgmental way. You also nudged me along when I needed a bit of encouragement...thinking of ways to meet, and speak to new people was difficult for me to begin with, you pushed me enough without putting me off or making me feel Iike it was unachievable. 

Thank you Louise for all of your support, I really do think that your coaching has changed the way I think, in a positive way of course.

Fiona Winning

  • Created a calmer, more organised home environment.

  • Built practical strategies to manage time and set boundaries.

  • Reconnected with personal needs to improve overall wellbeing.

I have completed 6 sessions with Louise and the main areas of focus were around fitness and mental health. Early sessions were around identifying my goal, which was an interesting challenge, which then helped my direction, moving forward and became the focal point when I was struggling with the ‘why’ questions.

Through conversations and questioning, I probably thought about things more deeply than I ever had and was more aware of my thoughts and feelings in relation to meeting obligations/commitments.

I now understand that I need to feel like I’m in control and react badly when that is not the case. These sessions also helped me realise that there in one thing that underpins everything else that I want to achieve and improve in my life, which is useful.

I have learnt that I need to be kinder to myself and give positive reinforcement rather than listen to that negative voice or have the ‘fat’ picture on the fridge.

I now know it is OK not to be ‘good’ all the time and can calm that inner voice which can be harmful. I need to bring myself back to my goal and evaluate how I get there, what steps can I take now to move this forward.

I would recommend coaching with Louise or any coach really, if you feel you’re not where you want to be or don’t know how to change things. talking about it and having to think has been beneficial for me and has given me an understanding of my motivations but also the tools to keep moving forward and get more of the life I want.

Angelique

  • Regained clarity and confidence to move her business forward.

  • Discovered what truly matters and made aligned decisions.

  • Found focus and motivation through deeper self-reflection.

  • Reconnected with her inner voice and sense of direction.

After six coaching sessions with Louise I have found my inner voice again. I was questioning how to go forward with one of my businesses, as it isn't going as well as I had hoped.

Louise is welcoming and warm and she doesn’t steer you in a certain direction, and she really checks how you want to be approached. She helped me find the answers to questions I didn’t know I had. When I struggle with something, I always have so many thoughts and ideas, and they often keep lingering in the back of my mind, which doesn’t lead to actual change. I went into these sessions thinking it would mainly be a incentive to make lists and stick to them, and it would help me setting goals. But it brought me much more.

Louise has a talent for asking you questions that linger on in your head and in my case that meant that I was reminded of the bigger picture, of what is truly important to me, and that automatically opened up a clear path forward.

So, yes, I did make clear lists and I regained the motivation to stick to them, but I also made some decisions based on my own morals and on how I choose to divide my energy and resources going forward. I would recommend talking to Louise if you are stuck in certain areas in your life and are looking for clear and friendly guidance!

  • Developed practical strategies to manage time effectively.

  • Gained a greater sense of control and overall happiness.

  • Built tools to handle future challenges with confidence.

  • Experienced genuinely life-changing results through coaching.

Through coaching with Louise I have developed a number of practical strategies that have actually worked, meaning that I now feel much more in control of my time and feel much happier in general.

Louise is so empathetic, but also very focused on helping to find ways to actually address issues, which was exactly what I need. It is no exaggeration to say that my experience of coaching with Louise has been life changing, not only in relation to the particular issue that these sessions were focused on, but also because it has given me the tools to address other challenges more generally. I could not recommend coaching with Louise more!

  • Made significant progress on long-delayed goals.

  • Left each session with clear actions and renewed motivation.

  • Gained confidence in decision-making and next steps.

  • Valued the perfect balance of challenge and support.

Louise’s support was invaluable. I found her to be extremely positive and motivating, always leaving me in a better place than when I started the call with concrete actions and motivation to do them. I made significant progress after speaking to her on areas that I'd been putting off for ages. She balances challenge and support to always leave me more confident in my decisions and approach. I would strongly recommend Louise's coaching to anyone who wants the confidence to achieve their goals.

Working with Lou has been an absolute pleasure. She brings such a friendly, open energy to her coaching - it immediately put me at ease and makes the sessions feel collaborative and genuine.

Through her thoughtful questions and calm presence, she helped me uncover what was holding me back in a way that felt both supportive and empowering.

Sarah

  • Found clarity and direction at a career crossroads.

  • Gained confidence to explore a new business venture.

  • Left each session feeling focused, motivated, and positive about the future.

I started coaching with Louise when I was at a real crossroads and didn’t know which direction to take. She’s helped me bring clarity to all the thoughts and ideas that were swirling around, and find direction again.

Her sessions are supportive, practical, and always leave me feeling more focused and motivated. With her guidance, I’m now exploring a new venture and feeling genuinely excited about what’s ahead.

I’d 100% recommend Louise. She’s brilliant at what she does, really easy to talk to, and has a way of helping you see things you just can’t see on your own.

  • Found clarity and structure to turn ideas into clear goals.

  • Learned to create realistic plans — with a Plan B when life gets in the way.

  • Gained confidence to voice her thoughts and take practical steps forward.

  • Discovered the value of coaching for everyday life, not just “highflyers.”

I always thought coaching was for ‘other people’, the highflyers, the ‘real’ businessmen and women!  My sessions with Louise have shown me how valuable coaching is for everyone. From the beginning Louise was thorough and professional in explaining and guiding me through what to expect from our session – what coaching was and what it was not. Louise’s warm, approachable manner has given me the opportunity to say out loud all the jumbled conversations I have been having in my head.

In our sessions Louise has helped me identify and plan clear steps to reach my goal. Her realistic approach and understanding that life can get in the way of planned tasks, ensured I had a Plan B, ensuring I didn’t feel I had failed because something didn’t happen. I am clearer about the steps I need to take and have broken them down to manageable tasks. The Wheel of Life has been a useful tool for me.  Helping to focus on the areas that I needed to concentrate on with clear goals and actions.

I have always been a list maker - who doesn’t love a ‘to do’ that you can cross off! Previously I have only ever had a list of what needs to be done in a practical sense, not what I want to do, how to achieve it or what it looks like to me. Louise has helped me structure what my end goals look like and the steps to get there and how that would feel. I felt safe saying out loud how that would look to me. Louise has been patient in my moments of self-doubt, supportive, encouraging and practical in moving me forward with a clear realistic plan and knowing I need a Plan B just in case, because life happens.

Thank you, Louise, for all your support and guidance, I now have clear goals and a way forward to reach them.  I have no hesitation in recommending you to others.

  • Explored timing and readiness for retirement with clarity and confidence.

  • Identified what truly matters for a happy and fulfilling next chapter.

  • Gained direction through thoughtful reflection and guided questioning.

  • Valued the warm, professional space to make decisions without pressure.

I have found my life coaching sessions with Louise extremely beneficial, with regard to helping me explore the issues around my uncertainty as to when it is going to be the right time for me to retire from the teaching profession.

 Throughout our sessions Louise has shown a true passion for her role as a coach, directing my thoughts towards what is important to me in my life and the steps I need to take to transition happily into the retirement phase.  Through our discussions, it has been apparent that Louise fully understands how difficult I am finding it to make this decision and how important it is to me that once made, I will feel happy and have no regrets.

 As a coach Louise displays a very warm, empathic personality, allowing me as a client to easily discuss my thoughts and feelings openly.  The sessions always started with a check in, which set the scene for a relaxed and honest conversation.  Louise encouraged self reflection by listening carefully to what was being said and asking thought provoking questions.  This encouraged  me to explore my ideas and goals in more depth.

In all of our sessions Louise has demonstrated a highly professional approach to our discussions, providing a non-judgemental space for me to openly discuss my thoughts and feelings. Louise has displayed a genuine desire to help me make my decision by directing my thoughts down a path which has allowed me to find my own answers.

 I have found Louise to be a tremendous help and an excellent Life Coach.
