'Been an amazing experience working with Hope, she made me remember some long forgotten passions and make realisations that I've not been able to make on my own for 30+ years...

 

She's got a super talent for coaching and working with people'

'Thinking about how much Hope helped me through a tough period makes me a bit emotional. It was key in helping me deal with and manage my pain. As well as, prioritising certain aspects of my life and finding new avenues to explore. Hope has a wonderful ability to get the answer from within you, by just asking the right questions. It really feels like both parties are contributing, which (in my experience) is a golden rarity.

​

Hope’s knowledge of Chronic Illness was of extreme help to me. However, it is far from being her only speciality, the lessons I have learnt with Hope I will treasure and keep with me for life.'

'Before starting sessions with Hope I wasn't sure what to expect from life coaching but as I began Hope made the process accessible and rewarding.  I found being given constructive time to think about challenges in my day to day enormously helpful. In the space of the session, I never felt rushed or given words to say. I felt safe in taking my time to come to conclusions that I needed time and encouragement to come to.'

​

I am so grateful for the tools that the course of sessions has given me in the way i think about and work through issues in my own time.'

'From the first contact, Hope was focused on a personalised approach. Her grounding energy meant sessions were always enjoyable to attend - I particularly enjoyed the language she used, drawing on visual imagery and metaphors to turn complex cognitions into tangible concepts. She was warm and supportive, I felt she held me accountable in a non-invasive way.

 

I decided to start coaching with Hope as I was looking for support in building my self-esteem to develop more self-confidence. Hope helped me to realise my own strengths, and offered me a safe space to challenge the narrative in my head. The Impostor Syndrome I identified with at the beginning of our sessions melted away over the weeks Hope and I worked together.

 

I have already recommended Hope to friends - she's so down-to-earth and supportive. If you've been looking for some support in building your wellbeing, be it in confidence, self-esteem or self-compassion, Hope will be an ideal coach to support you on your path.'

'This was my first experience of coaching, having previously only done counselling. I found the experience incredibly creative and hopeful. What I really loved about working with Hope was her creative approach, it often took me to surprising places, and even weeks after our final session I am still feeling the benefits. 

​

I came to coaching wanting to reconnect with my creativity and gain a sense of direction. As a result of our work together, it truly feels like night and day. The way I relate to my creativity has completely changed, I am finally being creative again, AND it’s enjoyable! I also now have a clearer sense of where I’m going in my personal life and feel much more hopeful about what’s ahead. 

​

If you’re feeling stuck, I can’t recommend Hope enough. She has this magical way of making the impossible feel possible, helping you see new paths, and turning the process of self-discovery into something fun, enlightening, and playful.'

Gary Regis - Office & Finance Manager - Reflective Practice Attendee

'Working with Hope through RP has been genuinely transformative for our team. She created a space that felt both completely safe and gently challenging – the kind of space where people who never usually speak up suddenly found themselves sharing honestly. The pace, structure and activities were all really thoughtfully held, and it never felt like “just another workshop”; it felt like time that mattered. 

​

What stood out most was Hope’s ability to stay deeply human and warm while also holding really clear boundaries and purpose. She helped us surface tricky dynamics without anyone feeling shamed or put on the spot, and supported us to move from feeling stuck to having concrete ways of working differently together. 

I came away with a stronger sense of connection to my colleagues, more clarity about my own role in the team, and some very practical tools I’ve already taken into day-to-day conversations. 

 

I’d wholeheartedly recommend Hope to any organisation wanting facilitation that is compassionate, grounded and genuinely restorative rather than just a box-ticking exercise.' 

Jodie - Advice & Support Services Manager - Reflective Practice Attendee

'Hopes energy and guidance allow for and encourage a beautiful blend of deepening and light hearted play.

 

She is an exceptionally skilled and intuitive facilitator, effortlessly providing a calm, safe, exquisitely held space which is imbued with her unique warmth, presence and creativity.  Hope brings untold treasures and creates a space where you can access your own'

Mark Stroud - Health Promotion Manager - Reflective Practice Attendee

'Hope creates a safe and welcoming space for our reflective practice sessions. Her thoughtful preparation and 'seasonal framing' provide context for our individual reflective exploration, while her skilful facilitation ensures every voice is heard and valued. Hope's ability to distil our discussions into meaningful summaries and insights has been invaluable to our collective learning. Over time, I have come to welcome our reflective practice sessions in my schedule.' 

Yogi N - London, UK

National Education Nature Park Team - Natural History Museum 
Workshop Attendee

'Hope is a fantastic facilitator, grounded, empathetic and funny, who allows so many people to connect to themselves and the natural world around them in her workshops.

 

These workshops hold something for everyone, from the most experienced naturalist to hose who struggle to find or get out into nature. I always leave feeling more, seeing more and enjoying more of the natural world around me.'

Lauren Tittle - Head of Operations at Brigstowe
Reflective Practice Attendee

'Hope has been providing group Reflective Practice to our staff team at Brigstowe for 3 years, this includes all staff from the charity i.e. staff providing front line services, fundraisers, admin and management.

 

Hope has the brilliant skill of consistently facilitating a wonderful safe and nonjudgemental space where staff feel comfortable opening up and sharing experiences. The environment that she always crafts encourages staff to reflect on their work and how they are feeling which has lead to a stronger team dynamic, improved decision-making for individuals as well as improving staff wellbeing and resilience.

 

Having Hope working with us has truly been invaluable both for individual staff and for the organisation as a whole. We would highly recommend Hope to any organisation seeking to implement reflective practice and provide a much-needed protected space for staff to pause, reflect, and learn from each other’s experiences.'

Thank you so much, I would love to come to another workshop!'
