I believe Maddy to be one of the most naturally gifted coaches that I’ve encountered. She has an uncanny ability to identify core issues with great rapidity. And having done that, she is then able to communicate those issues back to a client in a manner that gives them the tools to go forward and grow. She has helped me enormously where other very experienced professionals have come short.
Stephen May, Director, The Screen Arts Institute, London
Working with Maddy has been really powerful for me as Maddy is exceptional at listening and bringing out the sticking point to facilitate your thinking and make you ask you the right question to unlock any particular situation and tap in your full potential. I can only recommend Maddy to anyone that is facing some roadblocks or just some more challenging situations and is unsure how to approach those.
CG, Head of International Business Development, Monster Energy
As I approach a new season in my life, I felt a deep need to prepare for the changes, to realise my potential and to seize the opportunity. I engaged Maddy as my coach to help me with that preparation and I wasn’t disappointed. Maddy has steered me in a way that has been incredibly helpful. I had a head full of ideas and she enabled me to filter them, resulting in a clear picture as to how I take my life forward into my new season. The benefits have allowed me to see the future with structure and a clear plan as to what I want to achieve. Maddy has stirred my soul into believing I have some of the most productive years ahead.

Coaching has been a fantastic addition to my life and a huge, huge help to my mental health, which was in a pretty sorry state when I first started. Due to me coming to this at a difficult time and being coached through it, the change from session to session has been very rapid and it has been exciting to see and feel such quick moving progress. Maddy’s skillset means that she works out what is important to work on or discuss, she then asks considered questions which allow you to really hone in on what you’re feeling. It is so nice to just hear that someone hears you and takes the moment to pause with you, as opposed to life where people are so quick to fix or give their opinion. Those little moments where your soul feels truly heard are amazing.
RP, Director Proud Couture, Surrey
Maddy skilfully helped me ‘clear the clutter’, focus on what was important to me and come up with a plan of action.
Heather Church, Director, Heather Church Consulting, Johannesburg
I have made some lasting changes and as a result of our sessions, I feel more equipped to create space for strategic work and to safeguard my time more effectively. Maddy created a safe space for me to explore some difficult issues. She is very empathetic and calm, a very good listener and asks good questions - challenging questions. She is not judgmental. Maddy strikes the right balance between challenging you to think, without being too pushy or challenging.
CM, CEO Charity Sector
Maddy asked the questions I’ve never thought to ask, went deeper than the surface level which allowed me to learn about myself, rather than be taught.
AM, final year law student, Surrey
Maddy has demonstrated herself to be an extremely effective listener and our discussions have been targeted well on the areas relevant to my challenges. Maddy has consistently targeted particular key areas which are relevant to my short and medium term goals.
MS, Country/Engineering Manager
I am way past the middle of my working life and looking to focus exclusively on my strengths in the years left to me. Working with Maddy has helped my crystalise my vision and purpose in this new season, and as a consequence I am experiencing a feeling of coherence in my work and life which is the greatest ever. I am 100% confident the work I have chosen is correct, it uses everything in my life to date, and will allow me to leave a great legacy. Thank you Maddy.
AT, Executive Coach
It is an undeniable truth that having a space which is solely aimed at you, and your desire to progress is hugely beneficial to your capacity to process things. Maddy has provided an instantaneously secure place to openly discuss large, often personal topics with the appropriate level of challenge and prompt to ensure that there is targeted focus in the exercise. Undertaking specific tasks such as values and personality discovery has been a revelation. Maddy has an ability to make you feel that she is genuinely invested in you and your progression. No doubt because she in fact is! Coaching has been a wonderful series of prompts where I feel challenged enough to arrive at a well-articulated statement or well-connected decision.
NFB, Customer Success Manager
Coaching helped me to establish and make good life decisions. More specifically, it helped me to define my career choice - helping me identify my strengths, develop them, and identify personal and professional goals.
DH, Executive Assistant, Slovakia
Maddy is an incredible coach. She listens deeply and the way she reflects back what you are saying to help you see more of what is truly going on is so helpful. Her questions bring breakthrough and revelation leading to lasting change and transformation. I love being coached by Maddy because every time I am I know I will be different by the end and something positive will have changed in me and my perspectives! She really helps you get to the heart – not only of an issue, but of yourself.
RF, Accommodation and Facilities Manager, Bristol
Working with Maddy has been a great experience for the stage of life I am currently in. I have been able to take steps in becoming the woman I have dreamt of becoming. I am also learning more about myself. I am not yet fully where I want to be, but I am thankful that I am not where I used to be.
RO, Deputy Company Secretary, Energy sector
It is not always the content that can be beneficial, often it is the relationship. This is certainly the case with our sessions. I found speaking to someone I trusted, who demonstrated shared values and was empathetic, was extremely valuable. This enabled me to articulate my thoughts in a safe environment and build a connection, that helped me feel more connected with myself and others. It was good just to be able to think, speak and feel with someone else. The sessions also helped me in a practical way, providing insight and action steps .Maddy was excellent at challenging my assumptions. During our coaching sessions Maddy consistently demonstrated her ability to understand what was going on beneath the surface and to provide insightful reflections. This is, I think, because she listens deeply. She was able to pick up on key words, feelings and body language, and support me in making sense of these.
TA, Coach, Counsellor, Facilitator
I had wanted to sift though my many ideas of organising my life after the age of 80. Maddy’s gentle and logical process drew out the aspects of my life which were most important to me and showed me how I could combine them to make the best and most rewarding use of my time.

“Working with Maddy has really changed the way I view my career and life, it has helped me to see how much potential I have. I cannot thank her enough.”
LJ, Leicestershire
We worked on what my values were and how I could apply them with my career and with personal relationships. I was able to gain insight in what really mattered to me,…. it also enabled me to think beyond and in-depth of what truly matters..
