"Amanda is a highly skilled leader with a strong sense of purpose and direction. She holds credibility with peers and colleagues and both provides support and holds to account. She is solution focused and her overriding drive is to demonstrate that a difference is being made for clients."

"Thank you very much for all you have done to support me in my development.  You have a relaxed style which put me at ease combined with perception, insightfulness and lots of practical advice.  A perfect combination."

"Amanda was perceptive, organised and her suggestions were solution focussed, and helped me to set myself clear goals. Her targeted questioning and empathy enabled me to reflect and challenge myself in ways that I may not have done without her insight and direction to evidence based tools to support."

"Amanda’s offer of a free coaching session to ASLTIP members couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I was in a guddle and just couldn’t see the wood for the trees. Running my own business and clinical caseload I found that I had to do lists coming out of my ears, never ending feelings of not achieving what I set out to do and overflowing inboxes.  I really was unsure how this approach would work for me. I help clients set goals in my clinical job every day, but I have never been able to set myself achievable and realistic goals.

Amanda started the coaching process with me and after one session I felt more in control and confident that I could make some changes to improve my work life balance.  We talk on the telephone and this works really well for me. Amanda does not rush the session and she follows up with notes and an action plan after each session which I find really helpful. Already, I can see that Amanda is helping me to grow into a more productive and confident person (professionally and personally).  My next goal is to focus on developing my business plan, and I can finally say that I am really looking forward to this. I have avoided this since setting up my independent practice (in 2010), but I now feel confident to do this with Amanda’s support.

I would highly recommend using Amanda’s coaching service and I look forward to seeing how far she can take me and my business over the next few months."

"Over the last 12 months, Amanda has helped me to overcome anxiety about work, to remember why I love my job and to recognise my strengths.  I have been able to rebalance and organise my working life, with her guidance.  Her approach is practical and personalised.  She offers tailored advice and tasks, allowing me to explore new approaches to independent working.  I was able to identify my strengths and plan a way of working that suits me and fits into my life.  I feel more positive, confident and fulfilled as a result."

Director, Speech and Language Therapist

 

"As a fast growing business my role has had to change quite significantly over the past few years.  Consequently my focus has had to be split between clinical and managerial work.  Juggling the growing pressures of both sides of the business was becoming increasingly challenging and I felt that I needed external support.  I contacted Amanda after meeting her at the ASLTIP conference in March 2018 due to her background in both coaching and the Speech & Language Therapy field (which is hard to come by).  I have since had monthly coaching sessions in which we discuss any issues/difficulties I am having as well as spending time looking at my own personal growth.  Amanda follows up each session with notes of what we have discussed, clarifying any learning opportunities, and clear points to work on before the next session.  I find this format extremely useful as it allows me to have a clear focus and I can already see the impact that the sessions are having on both the business and myself as a professional.  I can't thank Amanda enough for the support she has given me and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to any business/individual."

Amy Elias

Operational Consultant

 

“I went to see Amanda in my final year at university while I was applying for my first full time job. She helped mentor me in how to approach my up and coming job interviews and gave me a fresh perspective on choosing the right career based on my values. She really helped equip me with the right skills to approach the interview and clarify what I needed to do to prepare. This meant I went into all my interviews feeling far more confident and in turn got job offers from all the interviews I did after she helped me. Her advice also helped steer my decision about which job would be right for me. Overall I can’t recommend Amanda more for someone starting out in their career”

"I received coaching from Amanda October 2021- April 2022 during a period of transition and career progression. The guidance and opportunity to explore opportunities and be guided by Amanda within the coaching was and has been invaluable and certainly eased my transition and thinking then and now.

"I had the good fortune to work with Amanda, who provided me with support in her capacity as a coach. 
I found Amanda to be positively empathetic and insightful. The outcomes enabled me to act decisively in a senior leadership role at a time when my organisation was wrestling with change, in terms of structure and culture."
