Testimonials
What people say.
The simple question was; am I happy with things as they are? Am I happy with ‘OK’? Is that what I was aiming for. With everything as it was, shouldn’t I just appreciate what I’ve already got. And of course, the simple answer was, No. I knew there was more that I wanted to achieve, and coaching with Fiona allowe me to access that by giving me three things. Firstly, coaching gave me the clarity to figure out what it was that I really wanted. Something that completely aligned to my values, my purpose and my being.
Secondly, coaching with Fiona helped me grant myself permission to develop, to grow and to achieve, without judgement or guilt about not appreciating what I already had (I was hugely grateful for what I had, but was in the habit of using this as an excuse to not strive for more). And perhaps most importantly, working with Fiona equipped me with the tools and techniques I needed to navigate myself through the transition that we had started together. The knowledge and realisation that it was who I was being – not what I was doing – that would create change.
During our work together, we spent a lot of time creating my Document – the contract I made with myself, stating the non-negotiables which I am committed to and live by. It’s a challenging process, but an incredibly powerful one that has allowed me to rediscover my authentic self. How to describe a coaching session with Fiona? Simply magical, in the sense that we would create something powerful every time; an idea, a commitment, a perspective that I couldn’t find on my own, but would completely change who I was being and how I was showing up.
Fiona’s clients benefit not only from her own wisdom and experience, but also her immense network from across the world of coaching. Fiona’s generosity in sharing links, lessons and learnings from being coached herself, are incredibly valuable gifts that very few have access to. Coaching of course is an investment. It’s impossible to put a monetary figure on the value of coaching with Fiona, but important to recognise that those hours together will serve you for many, many years ahead. You’re not paying for an hour of coaching, you’re investing in a lifetime of growth.”

“I had the privilege of working with Fiona for six months in 2023, and the impact she had on my personal growth and self-discovery has been truly transformative. From the very beginning, Fiona demonstrated a deep understanding and empathy towards my journey of self-discovery. She skilfully guided me through a process of introspection, helping me uncover my core values, strengths, and areas for growth even when I questioned the process. Through thought-provoking conversations and tailored exercises, Fiona created a safe and supportive environment that allowed me to explore my true self.
One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Fiona was her ability to help me rediscover my sense of self-confidence. She helped me recognise and appreciate my unique qualities, empowered me to embrace my strengths and overcome my self-doubt, which had really taken hold after a number of difficult years and experience. Fiona provided practical strategies and tools to enhance my self-belief, which continue to have a profound impact on both my personal and professional life.
What sets Fiona apart and was evident from our first meeting is her genuine passion for helping individuals unlock their full potential. Her dedication to my growth was evident in every session we had. I cannot emphasise enough the positive impact Fiona has had on my life. Her guidance and expertise have not only helped me gain a deeper understanding of who I am but have also equipped me with the confidence to pursue my goals and aspirations with conviction, which is a lasting legacy that impacts not just me but my family, friends and colleagues too.
If you are seeking a personal coach who is compassionate, insightful, and committed to your growth, I wholeheartedly recommend Fiona. Her ability to help individuals uncover their true potential is unparalleled, and I am confident that they will have a profound impact on your personal journey, just as she did on mine.”

“I first met Fiona at a conference for finance professionals and was immediately taken with her different approach.
Like many senior leaders, I constantly struggled to balance the demands of my work and personal lives. I was stuck in a cycle of feeling stressed and unable to prevent that from impacting my relationships with family, friends, and work colleagues. In short, I was unhappy despite being successful in my career, having a great family, and having a strong circle of friends.
Through my work with Fiona over the course of three months, I have understood more deeply who I was being and how that differed from both who I truly am and who I needed to be.
Fiona’s approach led to me confronting the truth, which can be a challenging experience. Reflecting and accepting that I was not being the person I wanted to be can be tough. But at every stage, Fiona was there to support and guide me, encouraging and challenging me in equal measure.
I now have a clear, documented statement of who I am that serves as a tool to help me remain centred and true to myself. This has helped me immensely. I am more productive at work, more present at home, and in general, feel more able to be the person I want to be in all aspects of my life.
I don’t hesitate to recommend working with Fiona. The sessions may well challenge you and at times, make for uncomfortable reflection, but if you’re committed and determined to change who you are, great rewards await.”
