"I approached Madeleine for life-coaching because I was carrying feelings of under-achievement and lack of fulfilment and felt I needed help to address these issues.  Eight months on, there has been a real shift in my life -  I am achieving things I never thought possible and I feel extremely fulfilled.  Madeleine helped me to break things down into realistic and manageable steps - and the rewards and personal benefits that came from achieving these steps really encouraged me to keep going! 
   I always come away from a session with Madeleine feeling inspired and motivated to put plans into action.  Yet on occasions when I don't quite manage it, I always feel I can be honest with Madeleine who, instead of making me feel guilty, will always support me towards a manageable solution.  You definitely get out of coaching what you put in - it is not a passive experience! 
   Through my sessions with Madeleine, I have addressed so many different things - from personal image to managing domestic chores and building a business - to name but a few!  Sometimes I have found myself discussing something which seems really trivial, and I have to thank Madeleine for making me feel comfortable talking about such things, as I often found that sorting out the smaller issues helped me move forwards and achieve the things I really wanted! 
   I would highly recommend Madeleine - she has a sensitive and caring, yet professional approach. She is a highly skilled life-coach who has helped me turn my life around.  Thank you, Madeleine!" (Sally)

"The coaching sessions that I had with Madeleine empowered me to make some very positive and significant changes to my life.  Madeleine enabled me to explore and understand my own choices and needs by challenging my long-held beliefs about myself.
 By helping me set and attain clear and achievable goals, Madeleine supported me with issues such as weight loss, time-management and self-discipline.  After each session, I was excited about my goals and determined to achieve them. I really appreciated the regular encouragement and praise Madeleine gave me, and felt energised by the positive vibes she seemed able to emit through the telephone line! 
 Thanks to Madeleine, I now feel well on the way to enjoying my life to the full, and confident that I can, and will, achieve other goals too in the future."  (Liz)

"I can't thank you enough for all the help you have given me in so many areas of my life. You are great at what you do and you have such a friendly approach. I have tried many different help resources before but nothing has been so effective.  Each session was broken down into a manageable, bite-sized portion which I was able to work on before the next session. 
 I truly found that many things we discussed stuck in the back of my mind and automatically sprang to mind again when  needed!  I will definitely be recommending you to anyone in need of some coaching." (Jess)

"I approached Madeleine at a time when I felt quite stressed at work and 'drowning' under the workload.  With Madeleine's coaching and encouragement, I was able to examine the bases for my stumbling blocks and develop strategies to support improvements so that I now feel much more in control of my work. 
 I found Madeleine firm and structured in her approach, and her ease of manner relaxing but very effective. Through her blend of support, encouragement, empathy and challenge, Madeleine helped me feel much more confident about reaching my goal, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her." (Shirley)

"I found Madeleine's coaching hugely beneficial.  The sessions helped me tremendously in my everyday life - it was like having a voice inside me that kept me focused and on track!" (Julie)

"Madeleine made me dig deep to find my attributes, and her gentle nudges and encouragement helped me find the confidence to go for a job, having previously given myself every excuse not to for fear of failure.  Madeleine is very approachable and one of the most genuine people I know." (Ruth)

"I found Madeleine's approach to be very positive, challenging and supportive.  I have moved forwards in several key areas which I have found rewarding, and some of the skill sets can now be adapted to other areas of my life." (Nick)

"A very useful six sessions; I decided a target in week one and was on the way to achieving it by the end of week six. This is a very difficult thing to do on your own when you are juggling a very busy life. For me, your life coaching was time very well spent and is something that I have continued to use every day since. Thanks Madeleine" (Helen)

"I wanted to write this testimonial to say thank you for helping me.
When we first began working together, I was very low and, although I could 'talk the talk' and appear confident to my colleagues, I could not see a way out of what I perceived to be a never ending bombardment of trials and difficulties.
 You helped me break down the issues into manageable chunks; at each session, we 'tackled' these smaller goals, and you made me see that I was coping.  Sometimes, I couldn't perceive that I had achieved anything, but you were able to show me - in an open and honest way - that I had moved forward. 
 I would certainly recommend you to anyone looking for coaching.  Your calm and logical approach. with gentle prods which manifested themselves into action plans over the weeks, has empowered me and given me a much better viewpoint on life.  I feel stronger and am remembering to be my own "best friend"!  Some of the things you taught me will stay with me forever."  (Sue)
