Since beginning coaching, I’ve noticed a significant increase in my confidence. I now feel much more comfortable speaking up about things I would previously have kept to myself, and I’m learning to worry less about situations outside of my control. I’ve also started putting myself forward for opportunities and roles that I wouldn’t have considered in the past.
When I first sought coaching, I was looking for support in developing my emotional intelligence and rebuilding my confidence. Amid ongoing organisational change, I was feeling anxious, low in confidence, and emotionally drained. Through Michelle’s guidance, I’ve come to recognise the strengths I bring and the value others see in me. I now feel confident in my abilities and appreciate that my extensive experience is one of my greatest assets. I also better understand that my emotions are valid, and I’m learning how to manage them without letting them define or control me as I move on from past challenges.
Michelle is an exceptional coach. She listens attentively and thoughtfully, and offers clear, practical strategies tailored to the challenges I’m facing. One of the most valuable techniques she taught me was to pause, breathe, and then respond — a simple yet genuinely effective approach that I’ll continue to use. Her support has played a crucial role in helping me rebuild my confidence and develop a stronger belief in myself.
I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and supportive coach.
