Life Purpose coaching with Helen enabled me to undertake some actions which I found too daunting to tackle, and allowed me to enter into my desire which then created amazing results. Helen enabled me to focus on positive things that are in my life and have some sense of future by accomplishing things in different areas of my life.

Melanie

I’ve been meaning to email you since January Helen, as it’s about a year since we met and you did your amazing Life Purpose coaching session with me! I wanted to just let you know how much it helped me. I was able to let go of some of those self-imposed restrictions we all seem to lug about with us. And I decided to answer a call and do something I had wanted to do for a long time. Thank you for the light touch which you bought, helping me to see the way ahead! It was a truly wonderful experience.

I have worked closely with Helen in developing the delivery of a creative therapy group for women with, or at risk of suffering from, post natal depression. Helen’s work in facilitating this group has resulted in some phenomenal outcomes for the women who have been referred to the group. Simple moves forward for many of the women which were unthinkable before meeting Helen. Helen is extremely professional and intuitive in the tailored care pathways which she initiates for each of the women individually. Feedback from the women within the group and the professionals that make the referrals to the group is always extremely positive. Helen, quite simply, is an amazing practitioner that is a joy to work with who I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending.

The sessions have been very empowering and have helped me to listen to myself. I have found the strength and courage to express how I feel. These sessions with Helen have taught me so much about myself, and I feel like I’m growing again, and that my journey is just going to get better. I’ve got so much to be grateful to this process for.

Helen is an inspiring, interesting lady who lifted my eyes to the outside world, when I only looked at the ground. Helen has been a first class facilitator. Very positive, calming, confident and communicative.

The Life Purpose coaching programme has helped me deliver results that are far beyond my expectations prior to starting the programme. I was unsure as to exactly how this programme would develop, however with Helen’s support and guidance I have been able to really clarify what’s important to me, and focus dedicated time to these priorities.

Not many things are perfect but the two day training with Helen: ‘Going The Extra Mile: Supporting the wellbeing of refugees‘ was pretty close.

Nigel

Helen has a profound commitment to working in the conflict resolution field which she has demonstrated both intellectually and in a series of practical engagements in peace related projects. She is exceptionally skilled and talented in bringing creativity into peacebuilding projects, and in my view this culturally creative work in peacemaking will be increasingly needed and increasingly productive in international peacemaking.

As a facilitator with the Projecting Plymouth project, Helen has worked with diverse groups of young people across Plymouth, raising their aspirations and supporting them to produce and deliver exciting projects that make change in the city. She has engaged and inspired her group members, using a variety of practical, creative techniques to help them realise their ideas. I have been very impressed with the quality of her work and innovative approach, and look forward to collaborating in the future.

Having had the opportunity to get to know Helen as a colleague, I have a very high regard for her work. She identifies young peoples needs, often hidden within their behaviour. She works in an unconditional, non-judgmental way and continually reviews the group and the needs presented within it, so that both the aspirations and self-esteem of the young people attending can be raised – and I hasten to add with much success! Helen communicates regularly with myself and the funder’s of the drama group so that we are informed of any developments/difficulties along the way. As a result, Helen has proved herself to be reliable, trustworthy and professional within her work.

Life Purpose Coaching with Helen allowed me to talk through all my goals, work out what i want to do next, and ditch the ideas which have been holding me back.

Veronica

Helen has been inspirational in her leadership of this group, and has turned around the lives of some of our most vulnerable families. Whilst full of fun and laughter, the groups have become a lifeline for the women involved, and this is all down to Helen’s skill and talent in bringing out the best in them, and re-building their self confidence. Responses from the women involved have been really positive, and the outcomes are amazing. Helen responds to their needs intuitively, and yet with a gentle approach that instils confidence and a sense of security when it is most needed.
