Testimonials

“Recently I’ve had a few sessions with Fiona to help me with two aspects of my practice. She is my go-to when I have ‘radio interference’ and I know something is not quite right. Fiona helps me through her unique blend of gentleness, directness, clarity and warmth.. and razor sharp listening skills!!

I know that I benefit not only from Fiona’s way of being, as a person and a coach, but also from her experience of being an artist, a facilitator and educator. After every session I’ve had, I’ve walked away feeling freer and truer to myself. Coming from that place, and rid of agendas which interfere with that, I can’t go very wrong!”

“Working with Fiona across the course of several months gave me the opportunity to explore all my ideas and sticking points. Using Clean Coaching methods she supported me to unscramble my (often overcomplicated) thinking patterns. This method was new to me and challanged me to understand my situation from new perspectives and begin to make some clearer decisions. I enjoyed using environment, walking and thinking through metaphor in particular, and this has informed many areas of the work I do too! The reflective nature of coaching led me to feel 100 times more confident in my own thinking and I now have a much clearer sense of direction. I started having coaching with Fiona over a year ago and the sessions are still something I go back to and remember. I can recognise a real long term change since having coaching, in how I approach things now and the actions I have taken since then, so I would definitely reccommend coaching with Fiona to anyone who is feeling stuck or overwhelmed”

In terms of finding forward momentum, I was feeling like I'd lost my focus. Fiona's style of coaching is so intuitive, playful, and open-minded that I quickly found myself re-orientating towards my goals and retrieving my sense of direction in a really concrete, concise and carefree way. The intelligence and imagination that Fiona brings to her coaching is so all encompassing that positive change is inevitable and she has certainly become my go to coach for times when I go adrift.
