These clients had 4 - 6 sessions depending on their goal, how quickly they reached their desired outcome and when they felt ready to move on.

Rosemary has been the catalyst for the changes that I needed make in the way I approach new business. Most importantly this included changing the tone of my internal critic with a concerted effort to review my performance through a positive filter. Rosemary gave me space to explore how I am operating away from the ongoing distractions of the work environment. This is already proving to be an invaluable tool improving my new business performance.

My thinking was very negative to begin with, but I was helped to see how my perceptions could hamper my performance. Thinking from a different perspective helped me to change my negative thinking and behaviour and helped me to manage my work situation. The coach helped me to adopt a completely different mindset and unburden myself from a very negative and self-destructive stance.
The coaching helped me to overcome many difficult situations and gave me solutions when I had otherwise thought I was trapped. It helped me to set positive targets and to deal with situations that were very stressful. My mindset was completely different at the end of our sessions, and I felt I could cope with situations that had previously crippled my mental strength. I am very grateful for all of the help and solutions offered. It made a very difficult year tolerable and hopefully I can continue to use the advice and strategies given to help me in this career and my future career planning.
Thinking from a different angle and viewpoint. Detaching the personal from the occupational context. Seeing events from a pragmatic point of view. Finding solutions rather than seeing only problems. In future, I will adopt the strategies learned and try to remain positive in my outlook. All of my changing needs were met and solutions were offered to help with my developing situation. The coach needed to adapt to changing situations and yet kept to the desired outcomes.
I am extremely satisfied with my coaching experience. I did not expect it to have such a dramatic effect on my occupational and personal thinking and expectations. I feel much more positive about the next few years.

I really valued the time and space to examine a situation in a more objective way. To unpick how I felt about the situation and what might be holding me back or making progress less effective than it might have been.
The openness with which Rosemary approached the sessions, the careful way in which she listened, coupled with her focus on guiding me towards setting goals and identifying specific actions to take between sessions enable me to make real progress. I gained a better understanding of how my emotions and feelings of responsibility towards others can hamper my ability to let go and support an effective transition.
If I’m more honest about the challenges in holding the tension between letting go well and looking forward to the next thing I am able to do both more effectively and with a greater sense of enjoyment and achievement. I’m very happy. With my coaching experience. Not only has the experience unblocked my difficulties around stepping down from a role in which I have invested a lot, it has also enabled me to let go of the label I had given myself – that I am someone who can’t end things well. The ending is currently in progress and it feels as though it is going really well.
