“Gemma is an amazing coach. She helped me a last year whilst I was addressing my own redundancy and worked with me to ensure I was in the best mindset to start my new role.
I have recently engaged with her again to support others that I’ve unfortunately had to make redundant- I wanted to ensure that they had access to the support and confidential coaching that I myself had benefited from. I’ve also recommended Gemma to others in my HR network, who have also engaged with her for themselves and their wider teams and they love her work.
She is a great listener, supportive and encouraging, and easy to work with. And she gets results. I would highly recommend working with Gemma.”
“Gemma’s coaching has been of huge value to me. I was genuinely surprised by how much progress we made in only three 60 minute sessions over the phone.
She successfully guided me through a very challenging period of change at work, striking the perfect balance between being supportive and yet challenging. She helped me to focus on practical actions to take after each session.
Highly recommended.”
