Client Testimonials
Over ten years of work with women in senior roles, women changing direction, and women building something of their own.
Career, leadership and progression:
Every woman in this section was already qualified for the level she wanted. What was in the way was not capability.
Dr. Alison Elderfield
Assistant Director
From "not quite good enough" to a huge asset, and £10,000 more
Alison came in always feeling she was not quite good enough. She now describes herself as a huge asset to any organisation she works for, with the self-doubt virtually gone, and secured a new opportunity with a £10,000 increase.
Amisha Mistry
Consultant Paediatrician
As qualified as her peers, and repeatedly failing the assessment that decided her level
Amisha had the same training and experience as everyone else in her cohort, and kept underperforming in the consultant interviews that determined whether she progressed. Underneath sat a belief about not being good enough that was, in her words, running the show in every area of her life. She secured a permanent consultant post early in our work together. What followed was larger: an unshakeable and grounded self-belief, the emotional baggage released from her closest relationships, and a life she no longer needs a holiday from.
Dr. Shermina Sayani
Consultant Paediatrician
A role aligned with her values, and the end of judgment, guilt and shame
Shermina moved into a consultant role at a hospital far more aligned with her values, doing more of the work she enjoys. She describes throwing out the labels she had carried about herself and feeling more confident in her own skin.
Mira Vaghela
Teacher
A secure, well-paid job she had already outgrown
Mira first worked with me on her confidence and self-worth. She returned years later at a career crossroads, in a secure and well paid role she knew was no longer right. Together we identified her core values and the impact she wanted to have, and she found the direction and the courage to pursue a path that genuinely fits.
A.M.
Technology CEO & AI Entrepreneur
From £30,000 to over £101,000 in twenty-two months
Stuck and unfulfilled as an AI researcher in academia, A.M. built a compelling future and a strategy to reach it, then moved into a role that is fast-moving, rewarding and deeply impactful. Income went from £30,000 to over £101,000 across the time we worked together.
Ekta Khanna
EMEA CX Leader
Three months, and a way of operating with far more ease
Ekta describes getting to the core of what mattered quickly, even when she could not articulate what she was feeling or needing. She was challenged and held accountable throughout, and let go of patterns and approaches that no longer served her.
Martin Anyim
Chief Scientific Officer
A 30% pay rise, starting with a change in what he believed was possible
Martin secured a new role with a 30% pay increase, and credits the work with changing his mindset about what was available to him.
Building something of their own
These women reached a point where the next step was not another rung. It was something they built themselves.
Reena Amriwala
Lawyer turned Neurodiversity Speaker and Trainer
Six years, a sabbatical, and permission to want what she wanted
Reena arrived questioning her career and doubting her capabilities. She took a three-month unpaid sabbatical, began writing about her experience as a parent of an autistic child, and left to launch a consultancy she has now run for over three and a half years.
Anju Solanki
Entrepreneur, formerly Investment Banking
As qualified as her peers, and repeatedly failing the assessment that decided her level
Anju had left her role as an investment banker and felt she was in a poor place both professionally and as a mother. The real issues turned out not to be the ones she arrived with. She has since started a business and reconnected with her creative side.
Sumeena Gupta
Entrepreneur, Coach and Business Mentor
No more playing small
Sumeena describes becoming clearer about where she is headed and more present in her relationships. She started a new business in a matter of months, and her existing business began performing better alongside it.
Beena Patel
Reconciliation Analyst Career
She stopped accepting terms she had outgrown and set her own
After a significant rise in confidence, Beena left a career of more than twenty years that offered no room for balance. She now contracts on her own terms, with the freedom to travel and to build the life she wants.
S. I
Homemaker & Parent
From drifting to a clear vision, and a business she thought she was too old to start
Overwhelmed by family and household responsibilities and with no time for herself, S I built a clear vision for her own life and is now in the process of starting her own business.
M.K
Founder, Women’s Health Community
An event she had postponed for three years, and a business of her own
M.K learned to handle her emotions differently, communicate more effectively, and face what she had been avoiding. She finally ran the mental health event she had wanted to run for three years and has since started her own business.
Beth Carboni
Emotion Healing Therapist
From Uncomfortable with leadership to leading her own practice
Beth built her self-worth as a mother and as a working woman, grew in confidence as a therapist, and developed an authentic practice and reputation. The idea of being a leader had previously made her uncomfortable.
Life, relationships and self
Sometimes the work is not about the job at all.
Rose Latham
Life and Leadership Coach
Rose describes rediscovering agency, finding compassion for herself, and a renewed excitement for the life she is creating, with the impact reaching well beyond her career.
Rediscovering agency in her own life
Sima Parikh
Pharmacist
Learning to say what she needed for the first time
After a divorce, managing two children and a full-time job alone, Sima had never expected relationships to be the work. She built the self-worth to express her needs and now has more authentic relationships with her children and everyone close to her.
Harmeet Hanspal
Consultant
From living to please others to choosing for herself
Harmeet arrived carrying the weight of family expectations. She moved into her own place, left full-time employment to contract and began making decisions based on what was right for her rather than what would be acceptable.
Judith Ampenberger
Educational Psychologist
A breakthrough she did not think was possible at the time
Judith began the work during a period of complete turmoil, particularly in her marriage. She describes achieving something she never thought possible then: her heart opening again for her husband.
Anonymous
Everything looked right on paper
On paper he had everything. He still felt deeply unhappy. The work lifted him out of a downward spiral and changed the way he speaks to himself, which had a ripple effect through all of his relationships.
