Not only does Susan guide you, she gives you the tools to do it! 

I started out as a dead flower, afraid, negative and angry.  I still have a lot of work to do on watering myself, but thanks to Susan today I am starting to bloom!

I would highly recommend this to everyone, no matter where you are, you can change some or all of your life and Susan Loveday proved that to me!

I thank you Susan for all your help, the fun and sad stories..you truly are an inspiration!

I am lucky as I can still look forward to our sessions."

2. How did the coaching meet/not meet your expectations?"

3. What new strengths can you see you have developed from the experience?

“I now try to give myself small goals which are achievable.  I find this great, having something to work towards.”

4. What, if anything, could I have offered as a coach that would have been more helpful?

“Nothing.  You were truly lovely.”

5. How did you surprise yourself through the coaching series?

“ Surprised at how little time I gave myself, and now I really do try - as Susan says, I deserve to look after myself.”

6. What was the thing you benefitted from and/or enjoyed the most?

“I enjoyed talking to Susan one to one. She made me feel uplifted and confident that I could change anything - she believed in me.”

7. What do you see as the major insights or breakthroughs you made through coaching?

“Making me see I have a life and need to enjoy it and work towards a calmer and happier life.”

8. What will you now do differently?

“Lots I want to do differently but initially I now go to Yoga and exercise - I also eat much healthier.”

9. Could you sum up the overall experience?

“I had just turned 44 and gone through quite a few changes in the previous years, I did feel I had achieved quite a lot but still felt quite unsure about a lot of other aspects in my life, and struggling how to see my way through and bring about some changes.  So coaching seemed a new and exciting adventure.

Susan had the most lovely welcoming smile which immediately puts you at ease, she has such a positive outlook on life which rubs off on you every time you see her.  I truly felt I could take on everything every time I saw her.  She truly cares about you feeling great about yourself and is always looking for ways to help you see things from another perspective.

One lovely thing Susan did was to ask me to create a mood board and it is still a work in progress as I put things on it that make me smile and feel happy, even a favourite song or just words.  So if you're feeling sad it's a great thing to have to make you smile again.

All I would say is that she has made me see how importat I am in my own life and I need to have more time for myself and the people that matter, and to take care of my mind and body as it is precious.  Susan you are truly a fabulous lady - thank you so much!"

Client Testimonial from Sheila Cyrka (Contact details available on request for potential clients)

1. As you went through the coaching journey, how did it change things for you?

“It opened my eyes, I could see more clearly. It was like coming out of a fog.”

2. How did the coaching meet/not meet your expectations?"

“I was a bit dubious at first, I didn’t actually think it would help with the situation I am in but it did and exceeded all expectations.”

3. What new strengths can you see you have developed from the experience?

“Confidence within myself. That I am good at doing things I thought I wasn’t at all good at!! I am learning to say what I mean, and mean what I say.”

4. What, if anything, could I have offered as a coach that would have been more helpful?

“There isn’t one thing you could have done differently.”

5. How did you surprise yourself through the coaching series?

6. What was the thing you benefitted from and/or enjoyed the most?

“The realisation that I can be confident.”

7. What do you see as the major insights or breakthroughs you made through coaching?

“I try now not to internalise. I am a lot calmer and not as angry inside. I talk to myself in a more constructive way. I am much more confident.”

8. What will you now do differently?

“Think differently. Speak differently. Be a lot happier.”

9. Could you sum up the overall experience?

“Previous to my sessions with Susan, I had surfed the net continuously for help with my problems, especially those within my marriage for the past six years. Then I met Susan and started on a six week course. After only two sessions I knew she was able to help. I know this may sound ‘Oh yeh’ but if anybody needed her help it was me. 

And now six weeks later I am a different person, not the same woman who walked in those six short weeks ago. My confidence, my demeanour is coming back at such a fast rate, my family and colleagues have all commented. My daughter is that amazed she is having a six week course on Skype as she lives in Milan. Susan is a fabulous person and coach, I can’t thank her enough. I have booked another eight sessions.”
