I thoroughly recommend Lindsey she provided me with much needed guidance and advice at a time when I was feeling very lost professionally. I went on to successfully gain employment in the Care Quality Commission.

I started working with Lindsey because I am at the beginning of a mid-life career change. Pre-pandemic I had completed an MSc in Career management and coaching in preparation for this transition. Then the pandemic hit and I was completely blown off course by other priorities. I felt like I had lost my work self and wasn’t sure how to get back on track. I needed to find some space and time to talk about my plans with someone who would be impartial. Working with Lindsey proved to be just what I needed. We had five sessions and in between I found that I was able to reflect on our conversations and start taking small steps towards my future plans. Lindsey is a great listener and she was able to pick up on issues and themes arising from our discussions. Her insightful questioning and challenging helped me make sense of my thoughts and priorities and she provided space and time for me to think. Exploring my Career Anchors helped me to identify what really matters to me and enabled me to realise how I can build my career in a way that makes sense to me. As a result, I feel more confident about my work identity and this has enabled me to make plans and embrace the next stage of my career. Thank you Lindsey!

I met Lindsey during a difficult time in my life, where I was at a low which included having panic attacks. I was not truly happy at work for various reasons. Our first coaching session helped me make the decision to leave. I never thought I'd leave a job without another one to go to. She helped give me the strength to do so. She coached me with gentleness and good challenge - helping me to realise what was important to me in life and in my career. To listen to my head and heart. To challenge my own assumptions. To learn how to write a CV and improve my LinkedIn. Truly, she walked alongside me during such a hard time and helped lift me up to have the courage, confidence and passion to hold my nerve. All of this means I've started in a new job where I am excited to go in on Monday mornings. I have regained my hope and spark. Thank you Lindsey so much.
