Client Love

Jackie is a very professional and helpful coach. Her experience led me to recover my self-confidence. After a few sessions I was able to shine again and I realised the power of my inner happiness. She is an active listener that really understands the healing process. She is a woman with integrity that use her skills and knowledge to help others. I am very sure I will hear great things about her and her achievements in the future. I want to tell you how great you are and the huge positive impact that you have had on my life. Thank you for all your kindness and warm words on the worst moments. I really loved your facebook post, it reminded me of our conversations and all your help on those difficult moments in my job.

I just wanted to say thank you because if I’ve been able to switch my thinking is thank to you and our chats and the positive thinking that you always encourage me to do! Thank you! I just find it amazing how our mind works! Since I’ve turned my negative thinking I’ve been feeling pumped up and ready to take over the world! 

I find Jax’s hands-on approach particularly helpful as she not only does ask the right questions but is also capable of suggesting sensible solutions. Her coaching style is dynamic and she combines a lot of various approaches and techniques skilfully in her work with a client. Talking to her always feels therapeutical, and brings hope and strength. She’s professional and warm. Working with Jax has been certainly an inspiration to me.

 She did a great job helping me reconcile some conflicting parts of me. She was able to recognise the internal conflict I was trapped in, and get me to work with a metaphor that let me detach myself from the situation and get some new insights. The learnings really stuck with me and let me look into the future more positively, which resulted in me being successful in landing a great new job!

I was a little nervous about addressing the areas I’m struggling with. By discussing them, would mean surfacing them and having to work through them, which I knew might be painful, but rewarding in the long run.

I’ve broadened my understanding on a number of topics and view certain things differently.  In particular, on areas of self confidence, self-esteem and mindset. I feel better equipped with resources to approach areas of weakness / struggle / concern. I’ve experienced  change through applying many of the skills learnt, but it requires consistency and practice.

I felt stretched and pushed to try new things – either in my thinking or in actions. I enjoyed being educated on so many areas of personal development. I’m grateful for ALL the resources shared that I can keep and reference in the future.

Jackie is warm, engaging and has a great gift of being attentive while offering incredible knowledge, support and advice.  She equipped me with multiple resources covering numerous topics which I’m able to apply in my life now and in the future. I’m going through a challenging season whereby I feel very overwhelmed with my workload and feel as though I have little time for anything else, but I’m aiming to apply many of the tools learnt to be able to manage this season, get through it and come out better and stronger as a result.

Jackie worked with me to help update my CV. She showed me some great templates , one I really liked and used that to put my details into. It looked so much clearer & professional.  Jackie then helped refine some areas & have some useful input. I’m sure it made the difference and I’ve found a new job really quickly.

After a few poor career choices coaching came at an ideal time when I was unfulfilled at work, but unable to identify the cause. I was at a complete loss of what move to make next, to be confident I would improve the situation. Coaching helped me transition from being blinded by challenges in my current day-to-day situation, to finally recognising what I do want as well as my strengths and values. I dramatically improved my self-awareness, including identifying my primary motivators, which enables informative decision making, such as adding in an additional layer of evaluation by crosschecking each suitable roll with my primary requirements. Jackie’s infectiously happy and positive disposition and impartiality successfully creates an environment where you are able to be completely honest, with no fear of judgement or agenda, in order to be true to yourself and get maximum results. I would recommend Jackie’s coaching to anyone requiring a little guidance or reassurance on what road is right for you

Coaching with Jackie has been a hugely rewarding experience. I have learnt a great deal about myself as well as some really usefull techniques for dealing with the many situations that life throws at you. Jackie is immensely supportive and encouraging, and the sessions are always interesting and enjoyable. I have been able to approach challenges with greater focus and intent. I would definitely recommend her as a coach to anyone looking to grown towards achieving their personal or career goals

You have a great ability to make me feel comfortable & open up – It takes me awhile to speak freely to people, but I found this quite easy (and actually really great) to do when chatting to you. You actively listen to what I am saying & pick out things that mean something. Things that I would have just disregarded, you find insight in and shift gears in the conversation. You make things ‘okay’. What I mean by this is, when I am being very hard on myself you will change the perspective and show me that it’s not ‘all bad’. You make things that I would have thought are really negative or bad about myself, into things that are just my truths and in a way, my strengths.You push & challenge me and make me dig deeper.You ask really hard questions, not hard to understand but hard to answer. It’s really tough sometimes and after our sessions I sometimes feel exhausted and a bit raw. But, hey that’s the point. To find something new about myself and I really appreciate it.

I was recommended by a friend to attend a grounding workshop during May whilst she was in South Africa. I had no idea on what to expect and slightly anxious before attending, but Jackie was phenomenal in creating the right, relaxed setting and environment that made you feel welcome and open to explore your thoughts, goals and dreams. Even in the few hours I spent with her I left feeling more inspired and driven to focus on my life, goals and where I need to go. I would definitely recommend Jackie to colleagues, friends and family. I look forward to an ongoing relationship with her as she has such a passion and great way of getting you to tap into areas of your life and break them open.

I’ve started my journey with Jackie fairly recently but I feel that she has already helped me change the way I think about myself. Jackie has the ability to make me gently challenge my current thinking processes, helping me to develop a more positive approach towards any event in life. I feel my coaching sessions are emotional but deeply satisfying because at the end of each of them I love myself a little more. Jackie is helping me to understand myself and just be me

During our coaching, I was going through a lot of change in my life, I had just moved back to London, started a new coaching course and was starting a new job. I benefited a great deal from coaching in terms of clarifying my life priorities and identifying the practical steps I need to take to achieve them. I am pleased to say I am now fully settled into London, am on track to complete my coaching course by June 2016, and doing well in my new job and am feeling balanced and happy. Jackie’s coaching also raised my awareness of the negative impact that my perfectionist tendencies can have, and I have been able to adjust my approach to be more relaxed and less self-critical as a result. Thank you very much for all of your help and support as my coach – you’ve been great!

In a nutshell I would say that the impact of the sessions I had with Jackie has been significant. She created a supportive environment and provided various learning/exploring opportunities, which helped me greatly to realise how I can translate my wish of “becoming free” into reality. I learned about my preferred communication style, and at each session we looked at a specific goal I set for myself. Jackie was very skilful in keeping me focused on specifying each goal, whilst giving me space to explore the meaning of each goal and helping me to realise how implementing the changes would make me feel, and how it would shape my perception of things. She expertly guided me into setting specific actions and followed up on these during our subsequent sessions.

Having Jackie as my coach was immensely helpful, as well as having a safe environment where I could focus on myself and speak about my feelings – something I rarely do. I could speak freely and discovered more about myself, realised what I really wanted and needed. In addition, it was not just mere talk, but specific actions were agreed, so my transition was made possible. Jackie introduced me to various techniques (anchoring, visualisation, relaxation and recommended books), which were very helpful and I felt equipped to implement the changes. It also gave me confidence that I could achieve change if I apply myself to it. I am very grateful to Jackie for giving me this opportunity, for her gentle – and yet firm – approach, and giving me tools I can use in the future.

It was difficult in the beginning to trust and share with a stranger, but Jackie’s soft and kind nature made me feel at ease from the start. By practicing the techniques she recommended, it definitely brought me closer to my goal. She also provided additional information and content in between sessions to keep me on track. Jackie has helped make sense of how behaviour works and I understand myself better. I never knew that your values has so much to do with the decisions and choices you make in life. I would definitely recommend Jackie to anyone who needs a bit of guidance through life’s struggles.

As a result of my coaching sessions with Jackie, I feel very inspired and positive moving towards completion of my goals in different areas of my life. During the Intake session, Jackie took time to understand my values and beliefs, which esablished a foundation of how we would work together. This session helped towards me feeling understood  and proved to be the building blocks towards  gaining excellent  rapport. This rapport  was important for me in terms feeling that  the sessions were confidential.  I  therefore felt that  I was  able to relax and fully enjoy the sessions with Jackie as my coach. I respect Jackie’s coaching skills and she has always demonstrated her professionalism  in each coaching session. I felt listened to, supported, encouraged and sometimes challenged when I became stuck,   in order to bring me back into focus . On one occasion, Jackie reminded me of the’ cycle of change’ which I remember, gave me relief and a was definately a reminder that sometimes  it may take a several progressive steps to reach a bigger goal . Thanks to her skills in facilitation and skillful questioning, I was able to reflect on what I really wanted.  At times, my goals changed, as I realised what I really wanted, and not what I thought I wanted. At other times, my goals seemed to flow seemlessley to fruition.  I can think of an example of ‘wanting my next job to flow seamlessley, which  through careful goal setting around this area, is exactly  to my delight, what happened. I would highly recommend Jackie as your coach.
