Hello and Welcome!

This year I have been lucky enough to connect with Lydia and engaged in my first formal coaching relationship. I am so pleased I said yes to this opportunity.

What I have enjoyed is being able to discuss a variety of matters, both small and big picture topics. I’ve been able to gain very practical ideas, support and alternative ways to look at each topic. This has helped me to step out of my usual thinking style and look at all things in a different way. I’ve been able to focus on setting goals, consider desired outcomes and proactively make action plans to achieve. I’m now comfortable to take the next step with confidence (and spending much less time in a spiral of indecision/uncertainty).

I’ve enrolled for further education in 2025 and will continue seeking Lydia’s coaching as a tool as I navigate these new waters! Thank you, Lydia!

I reached out to Lydia because I was struggling to navigate my career path after the birth of my daughter in 2023, and to find the right balance between work and life. From the very first session Lydia took the time to understand my challenges and helped me reset my career goals, refine my personal brand and tailor my job applications.

Lydia encouraged me to think outside the box, expanding my job search to new industries. Through structured sessions and a job hunting logbook, I received invaluable feedback and support. After three months of focused job search I successfully landed a part-time role within the healthcare sector that offers great work-life balance.

Lydia’s support, even while she was traveling, made me feel heard and confident throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Lydia to anyone looking to advance their career or navigate a career transition.

Lydia was recommended to me by a Director in the company I have just started working for. The Director had met Lydia previously and was aware of her work and thought it would be very beneficial for us to connect and I am so glad he put us in touch! 

I was very nervous of returning to the professional environment after a long career break but the coaching sessions with Lydia gave me the confidence to believe in myself and my capabilities. Our sessions gave me a chance to step back and reflect on me, how my interests/skills have evolved over time, where they are strongest now and I realised I can refine and recalibrate my career goals. Lydia really helped me to clarify my goals and how I can realistically achieve them. 

At each session, Lydia would check to see where I was with my goals / was I on track which was great and kept me very focused. Lydia helped me with some communication problems I encountered, I was unsure of how to navigate them but with her guidance I was able to look at the situation and develop new skills to help me going forward. 

Lydia’s experience, expertise, guidance and support has really helped me – it’s up to me now to achieve the goals I have set myself and I feel very confident I can do it! Thank you very much Lydia. I look forward to catching up again soon and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone & everyone!

Lydia has been my Mentor for the past five months. The sessions with Lydia have brought clarity to my role and made me rethink a number of my current work style practices. I think sometimes you need someone to give you a gentle push or make your thoughts come into action, and Lydia is that person. Lydia provides suggestions and guidance on a variety of topics, including career development or role related improvement topics, and does not push her ideals onto you, rather allows you to find solutions in an interactive way. I would recommend Lydia’s mentoring or coaching to others who are look for an injection of courage and to keep looking forward in your career goals.

This was my first experience meeting with a coach and at first was not sure what to expect. Lydia made me immediately feel comfortable and at ease, allowing me to share my thoughts with her freely and without fear of judgement. She managed to create an environment that you usually get with people you have known for years, all in a very short period of time & I always felt reassured that she was acting with my best interest at heart.

I was quite amazed at how once we started working together, I was starting to come to solutions that I had never considered, all by being guided gently in the right direction, trusting myself and by not jumping ahead to solution mode without having gone through a thoughtful process.

I don’t think I would have come up with a lot of the solutions that I did without Lydia’s guidance here, as I rush to “solve” the problem, but Lydia made sure I truly understood it prior to getting to that point, allowing me to reach a more solid and sustainable outcome in most cases.

The sense of clarity and achievement I felt at the end of every session is really a credit to the work Lydia has done. I felt like it set me up in a positive mindset to be able to approach other challenges in my life with confidence and ease and most importantly Clarity. 

I have no doubt that working with Lydia will have a lasting impact on how I approach future challenges and it definitely eliminated a lot of the stress and anxiety I felt about these issues previously.

Really grateful for the sessions and in working with Lydia & have no doubt that she will find great success in her future endeavours as a Coach.

Thanks a million Lydia!

The coaching sessions have been incredibly helpful, giving me valuable insights and practical strategies for my personal and professional growth. I felt very comfortable with Lydia, who created a supportive and encouraging environment. This made it easy for me to talk about my goals and challenges. I’ve some real improvement in my confidence, time management, and decision making skills.

Overall, the experience has been very positive and empowering, helping me take steps toward my goals. I highly recommend these coaching sessions to anyone looking to improve their personal or professional life.

Lydia’s expertise, empathy, and guidance have made a big difference for me, and I’m very grateful.

With Lydia’s guidance, I felt empowered to establish and act on my goals. Her support gave me the confidence to speak up, set boundaries, and step outside my comfort zone, both at work and at home. I found it fascinating how she drew feelings of satisfaction out of me. Feeling safe and supported during our sessions was invaluable, as her insights and unwavering encouragement consistently motivated me to strive for excellence.

Lydia’s dedication to my growth has been remarkable. Her thoughtful feedback, constructive criticism, and belief in my potential have helped me navigate challenges and achieve career progression I had not imagined. I am grateful to have gained not just a mentor but also a role model, and the lessons I have learned will continue to benefit me for years to come.

Lydia has been my 3rd coach during my 20 year working career. I can honestly say that she was very intuitive and was able to push me into a deeper level of thinking, which I have not previously experienced with my other coaches. Whilst some of the sessions were really challenging for me from a reflection perspective, her ability to bring me back to my opening statement and to help me focus on the overall goal, was wonderful and kept the session on track, while creating a safe space for me to challenge myself.

Lydia, one of the true shining lights of the company, you will continue to inspire all people of all walks of life to be their best selves. You have touched all of us, in your time, and I am so honoured that we crossed paths.

It's safe to say you were instrumental in my success as a business support team member, and in getting me to where I am today. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor, one able to provide guidance when it was needed and patience while I moved toward where I am today. Thank you!
