Testimonials

Reflecting on my development as a coach, I can see just how pivotal Elizabeth’s support was in helping me grow and progress through ICF accreditation. Her mentor coaching—both one-to-one and in group settings—created a space for deep reflection and encouraged me to explore my practice from multiple perspectives. Elizabeth’s insight, constructive challenge, and deep understanding of the ICF competencies enabled me to approach my coaching with more clarity and sophistication. Her guidance played a key role in shaping the coach I’ve become.

Dr Jermey Hinks, PCC Alpamayo Coaching

Coach mentoring with Elizabeth gave me space to reflect deeply on my own practice and identify areas for growth. It also helped me appreciate different coaching styles and, importantly, gave me the confidence to embrace my own. I found this aspect of my development particularly valuable because it focused on applying what I’d learned in practice. It encouraged me to question assumptions, refine my approach, and stay grounded in the client experience. Being coached as part of the process was especially powerful—thought-provoking, forward-moving, and a timely reminder of what great coaching feels like.

I am truly grateful for all the support Elizabeth has given me as my supervisor. She is warm, calm and patient and creates a safe space that allows me to reflect on my work as a coach at a much deeper level. I value the questions she asks, her knowledge of all things coaching, and how she raises my awareness. This has helped me gain clarity on who I am as a person, my strengths, and my shadow areas, which has helped me with how I coach. She has a strong ethos around the professional standards of coaching, which challenges me to make sure that I stay ethical in my approach and so that my clients receive good quality coaching.
PCC Executive Coach
I met Elizabeth through my ICF accreditation training at Henley Business School and did not doubt in my mind that I would approach her for supervision. Elizabeth engaged with me in a very collaborative and supportive way. What I value most about how she works is how we start with a joint enquiry about the topic and critically reflect on my experiences in a safe space with no judgment. I also really appreciate her insight and sharing of her experience.
