Hilary - a star!
Life coaching with Hilary has changed my life. I have had many issues to deal with in a short few months: divorce negotiation, job loss, start-up of my own business, an operation and a new relationship. Although I had been helped by counsellors in the past, I had never tried life-coaching before and I wasn't sure it was for me. But my experience with Hilary has made me an enthusiastic supporter. Both counselling and life-coaching involve talk and understanding the past but life-coaching places most emphasis on the future and taking action to make changes. I like the fact that life-coaching is more structured with homework assignments and specific programmes to help with different issues such as goal-setting. With Hilary's encouragement and support, I have achieved so much: from simple things (like turning my junk room into an office and making a proper financial plan) to deep-rooted significant changes like developing the inner courage to risk being open to a very promising new relationship.

I think Hilary is a special person. She is warm, intelligent, honest and positive with a natural talent for life-coaching. She is particularly skilled at listening and helping me to uncover the real issues that I need to deal with to make the changes I want. I find her input insightful and I leave every session with food for thought. It isn't all hard work either - our sessions are full of humour. Thanks to Hilary I feel so excited about the future and the achievements and positive experiences I am going to create.

I can honestly say that Hilary was "just the right coach" for me and attribute the progress and satisfaction I feel with the coaching experience to her way of interacting during sessions. Never once did Hilary push or prod or cajole. Hilary seemed to know when to let me talk until I arrived at my own idea. At other times she amazed me with insightful comments that captured ideas better than I could have said them myself. Hilary also brings the wisdom of her own life experience and wide range of studies to the coaching sessions. We also had some good laughs, usually about the pleasant surprises or unexpected outcomes of trying out new ways of doing things. I came to look forward to our coaching sessions as a time to take stock, make plans and just feel good by celebrating life's little and big victories.

1. I got more self confidence during the time I have talked to you.
2. I had the impression that everything is achievable.
3. Higher goals - my goals became higher during our coaching sessions.
