What my
Clients Say
Gemma, Customer Engagement Leader
I’ve had the privilege of working with Amanda over recent months to kick-start and shape my 2026, and her impact has been exceptional. What truly sets her apart is her rare ability to seamlessly blend coaching, mentoring, and HR expertise. This means you’re not just working through isolated challenges - you’re navigating the full picture of work and life, which in reality are never as separate as we often believe.
Amanda's style is direct yet empathetic, and the flexibility of online sessions has been invaluable, especially as a full-time working parent. I noticed a mindset shift almost immediately, and the result has been a deeper sense of presence, contentment, and overall wellbeing.
Amanda is a standout professional, and I deeply value the rapport we’ve built and the impact she’s helped me achieve. I would highly recommend working with her.
Nichola, Head of Planning & Compliance
Amanda exceeded my expectations - helping me to set goals, define actively how I could work towards them, as well as changing my mindset to enable me to think proactively and positively.
Menopause has a detrimental impact on work life, including brain fog, anxiety, fatigue and comfort levels - all of which impact confidence in your ability to achieve and function at a high-performing level. She has helped me to recognise how to move past this and recognise great achievements, skills, knowledge and leadership qualities that my age has brought me.
I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda as a coach and thank her for her support, guidance and challenge where it was required.
Emily, Strategy & OD Specialist
This is the first time that I’ve had coaching, and it’s made the biggest difference to my life. It’s been rewarding and enjoyable at many points, but after a sector change I wanted some time to think more deliberately about how I consider work.
For the first time (Amanda’s) also helped me to think properly about what I’m best at, and to feel okay with prioritising my values as I make career decisions. After my coaching sessions I feel like a have a much more solid core of confidence about what matters to me and what I want to do in the rest of my career. I wish that all ..-career women could access coaching.
Caroline, Programme Manager
Amanda has been a very organised, personable and engaging coach. Over the course of our sessions, we did a reflection on key elements of life, identified priority areas and hence focused on areas related to professional ambitions and development as well as financial management. It was a useful Life ‘ MOT’!
..Sessions have helped me start thinking more creatively about my professional interests and think about how I can pivot my unique skills and experiences to other sectors. This included how to make a greater impact in my job applications, where to identify different roles and how to network and build professional relationships. These are useful tools to take into my current career break and improve my confidence during transition/change.
Flavia, Community Educator
Amanda ... pushed me to think about my ideas from a different angle and (I appreciated) her transparency of communication. As someone who was in a highly stressful professional role with brain fog, I appreciated the way that she gently guided me towards my next actions and kept me accountable.
I achieved a plan with concrete steps for a career change. I found Amanda's supporting unpicking of my thoughts and the way she challenged me to look at things from different angles most helpful. I have put in a grant application for a new project and started to make new connection that bring me closer to where I am going.
