“I have been working with Hayley to help me overcome challenges in my personal and work life, focussing on silencing my inner critic, widening my viewpoint to think about all possibilities and letting go of limiting thoughts. Hayley listens and empathises but also keeps our sessions structured, sets work and exercises to help me progress and keeps me accountable. What I value the most is Hayley’s ability to spin my view point round to the opposite and challenge what I have accepted for myself. Since being a client of Hayley’s I have been able to get out of what was a cycle of sadness and negativity that was clouding my every day to one of confidence and happiness, this does not mean there is no work still to do and we continue to work through the next stages of what I now want out of life, my fears around this and how to move forward. I would definitely recommend Hayley for anyone wanting to work on re-positioning negative thoughts letting go of fears and the inner critic and how to focus on what you really want. “ ”

Hayley has been a wonderful asset to my life over the past few months. She has helped me to zoom out and to see the wider picture, whilst working on the present and specific situations. She has laid things out in front of me so that I may see my options, whilst always maintaining a sense of support and care. She's incredibly warm, friendly and kind in her approach, but isn't afraid to say it how it is, if necessary. Whether you're a little in a grey area or simply in need of a little deeper dive into why we do things, she's your woman. It's helped me so much.

I can’t recommend Hayley highly enough to anyone, - in fact I already have to all my family and friends! I’m in my twenties, and at the start of my career, and was hesitant to part with the cost at first, but it soon paid off. Hayley is so friendly and open, and worked to build a trusting and personal relationship between us so that I was able to confide in her about concerns and worries, and helped me put into words my particular purpose, values and goals that I’d been struggling to pin down for so long. In particular, I had one specific issue with my manager which she coached me through patiently, the outcome of which was beyond my expectations- and led to life long learnings in how to deal with a senior colleague in a difficult situation. I’m pleased to say I’ve now landed a great job in a brand new industry which I’m super happy with and will always treasure my time with my coach. Thanks a million!!!

“I'm so grateful for my coach Hayley. Career coaching was a concept I hadn't thought to explore until this past year - after 12 sessions, I've been singing Hayley's praises left and right. Through the lens of my career, she's helped me to better understand myself - in a way that informs my career choices. Rather than trudge forward toward the next best opportunity, she's opened up new ways of thinking about (and appreciating!) the many paths available to me. Thank you so much Hayley! X”

“Hayley joined our finance team at the offsite last year. We scheduled 3 days of working sessions aimed at improving communications within our growing team based in 3 different countries and different time zones. Our main goal was to determine the best ways of working going forward. Hayley helped me to shape days structure to ensure that we have outcomes for each day clearly defined. At the offsite she accommodated the sessions to ensure that we stay on topic and everyone had a chance to participate. Hayley helped to create a very open atmosphere in the room where everyone could voice their concerns and raise any points for discussion. By the end of the offsite it felt like Hayley has become a part of the team. One of the feedback survey results I received back said: “It was one of the best if not the best offsite events I have been to in my career”. Thanks so much Hayley for working so closely with our team.”

“From my very first session with Hayley I knew that she is a very special person and that I was lucky to have her as my coach. She always made me feel so comfortable and I felt like I could tell her anything and that she just understood me. I never felt like she was judging me in any way, and she is so easy to talk to, I just knew I could trust Hayley even from the very first session, which allowed me to open myself up. Hayley helped me see things from a different perspective and this has made such a difference to my life. She worked with me using lots of resources and she challenged me which really helped me find that inner confidence so I can shine brightly and move forward! Hayley also sent me inspiring quotes and videos to watch, so you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and that it's an on-going process for her, she doesn't just help you in the sessions but also out of the sessions too. I am really grateful and glad that I found Hayley as my coach and I feel that anyone that works with Hayley are lucky and will gain something wonderful from it.”

My experience with Hayley has been invaluable. I have never felt more confident about being able to change my life and achieve my goals. She is an incredible resource that will help you to see the best parts of yourself – your unique gifts – and remind you of your capacity to create the life you want. She is a phenomenal motivator with a wholistic (holistic?) approach to coaching. I’ve learned that it’s important not just to focus on one area of your life you’d like to change (ie career/new job) but to understand that when we make improvements in every aspect of our lives (no matter how small) it makes a difference to our overall wellbeing, which in turn sets you up to go after that one ‘big’ area from a place of strength and empowerment. She has helped me set goals and take action, while offering sound advice and holding me accountable. I would say I’ve made more progress in 6 months with Hayley than in 10 years of therapy. It’s okay to not know what you’re doing or where you’re going. Hayley will meet you where you are and start from there.
Finding Hayley was one of the smartest ‘first steps’ I’ve ever taken, and I am so grateful she has been a part of my journey.

“Thanks to my brilliant coach Hayley I've made a monumental shift in my career. Hayley has helped me create positive changes in so many areas of life: from finding my strengths to identifying future goals, improving my attitude towards work and even creating a better work life-balance. The last year has been hard but the support and motivation of career coaching has really helped me navigate those trials and move forward when I felt stuck. I’m now back on the path to a fulfilling career and am finding joy in work again.
Thank you Hayley!”

“I was fired for the third time in a row and it felt as if total chaos had dawned upon me. I couldn’t figure out what I should focus on to become a better professional. I never had that issue before but that sudden streak was devastating. Hayley was the very coach who helped me to overcome that madness and I am a thousand times thankful for my experience with her. When I was picking a coaching service I noticed that most of the customers’ struggles were based around being lost and not knowing how to start; the rest were about the fear of failure. That’s all understandable, however for me the problem was different and I wasn’t sure a coach could help me with that. Well, I was wrong.
Hayley is way more than a career coach; she is exceptionally erudite and knowledgeable, and what is most important she truly cares! Since my problem was about being stuck emotionally with an enormous fear of being in a deadend, our sessions with Hayley were more like therapy sessions, which shows how diverse, skilled and open-minded Hayley is. Even with sessions with the professional therapists sometimes I see Maslow's quote in action: “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.”. With Hayley it was never the case. We approached it from many different angles: we discovered my self-saboteurs; we explored my core values; we were digging the areas of social aspects that I’ve managed to improve; we were talking about agreeableness and she has helped me overcome the anxiety of a forthcoming surgery; that is nothing to do with work, but I couldn’t talk or think about anything else at the time and Hayley suggested we talk about it - it felt soothing and I came back to meditating after that session. At the end I learned about the fine line between what is in my control and what is not. I realised that there was nothing wrong with me to get fired and now, at this very moment, I am a valued member of the team; I am building great products and teammates are approaching me and asking for help - that is beyond awesome! That is freakin’ legendary! Hayley was available on WhatsApp outside of our sessions. After every session she was reminding me that I can always reach out to her if I have a question which was great! I was so sceptical, and oh man, I was so wrong. And now I am a more risk-taking, less f*cks-giving professional, who is at peace regardless of the line-managers’ decisions. It is a genuine and freeing feeling. I have started my own company; I’ve also started investing too, which I never did before. And it is all because Hayley managed to find the bottleneck, created a plan how to make it all better and proceeded with it. It worked! Since I haven’t worked with other coaches, I can’t tell how awesome they are, but if it happened that your coach is Hayley, you are a lucky bastard! I guarantee, the coaching process will bring a positive impact on your quality of life overall.
P. S. If I haven’t said this yet: Hayley is a brilliant coach!”
