"Julia has a real gift for helping others understand how they can improve their well being. As a skilled coach Julia is able to help others find solutions to their problems without 'telling' them the answers, rather she uses her intellectual and intuitive abilities to raise others awareness of what the real problem is, the costs in all forms they may be paying for their current choices and crucially Julia is able to guide others in developing their own practical solutions to their situation. This is what she did with me and I was delighted both with the support from her and with the difference it made to my life." BH, London

"Being coached by Julia is like having a conversation, at the end of which you have clarification about where you're heading and what you want." LB, Hampshire

"I've become a stronger person, with more confidence. Julia believed in me, so I thought maybe I should start believing in myself! Recently I came across the journey planner we made, for what I wanted, and was surprised how many things I've done." AS, Surrey

"What I like about working with Julia is her flexibility, relaxed approach and an ability to just listen – and then make some helpful suggestions." JH, London

"I have found some coaches to be a bit like bulldogs. Julia, however, leads in a way that is soft and nurturing. She is supportive well beyond the time we spend together and continually sends me things that are useful; broadening my exposure to what is available for my growth." PD, London

"Julia gave me a lot of things to go away and think about. One particular piece of advice she gave me about not worrying about what others think, I shall certainly take with me and have already had cause to use it with positive effect. Now I hope to be able to use this skill in the workplace. Julia’s guidance enabled me to see life situations from a different perspective, one that is so obvious now it has been pointed out." SH, Hertfordshire

"I know we covered a lot of ground in a short time, I immediately felt a couple of things: one was much calmer, more grounded and less anxious. The other thing was that I felt more motivated and purposeful, as though some baggage had been removed from my mind enabling me to proceed in a more creative way. After the session the usual problems had less impact on me. I find that Julia's voice has a definite strength and firmness to it, which has an underlying sense of purpose which is always present while she speaks, which made me feel purposeful and strong too." KF, London

"Julia is a rarity among coaches. She is a skilled listener, a creative thinker who knows how to use her intuition to get to the very core of your particular challenges, which then enables you to clarify and focus on what you need to do to move forward. All in all a very different and refreshing approach that I would highly recommend to anybody, and particularly to those who may tend to shy away a bit from the 'ra-ra-ra, Mr/Ms motivator' genre of coaching. She also has a quietly, wicked sense of humour. Altogether a lovely person!" JT, Hampshire

"Julia has helped me to discover what's important in my life and to achieve it. I find Julia very cleverly combines eliciting my feelings with providing ideas and direction and ensures action happens. My recommendation of Julia is wholehearted." CS, London

"I had specific goals I wanted to reach, and Julia helped me to focus on them - in particular putting together a journey planner for me, and encouraging me to write a journal. I found the sessions really useful, and Julia's warm and friendly voice and personality made these sessions pleasurable as well as helpful. I would recommend her to any woman looking to build confidence in areas of their lives, and those who feel they need to look at their current work and life situation and want to improve it. Coaching can only work if the person coaching you has a broad understanding of the pressures many professional women go through, particularly in juggling personal and working life. I would recommend Julia as a coach."
ML, Hertfordshire

"It has been super working with Julia, lots of learning about communication, about how we see ourselves in others, and different ways of coaching, since the way Julia coached me and the outcomes has been very different to other styles of coaching I've come across. Very useful and very interesting." ND, London

"Thanks to Julia, I can move forward..., knowing that I can really make a difference." LK, Buckinghamshire

"I liked working with Julia. It was fun." JH, Yorkshire
