When I first got in touch with Loretta, anxiety and stress around my career froze me. Decision making was hard, energy was low, and I had so little clarity around where I wanted to go, and how I could get there.I have a sneaky suspicion Loretta could see what was holding me back rather quickly – but her professionalism and expertise allowed me to see and breakthrough barriers at the exact pace I needed. Loretta guided me through some life-changing insights and practices to enable me to think clearly and begin to respect my own wants and needs. So many old beliefs crumbled one after the other, replaced with fresh perspectives. Those perspectives ultimately enabled me to begin doing what I needed to do to move my career, and life, forward.Recently, I started my new career in software development – after almost 20 years of thinking I wasn’t good enough. My earnings have doubled overnight, stress levels have dropped through the floor, and I feel the most confident and happy I have in many years.I cannot emphasise enough the impact Loretta’s coaching has had on the direction my life will now take. Saying hello was the best decision I’ve ever made, and Loretta will be the first person I call when I look to level up again.

I had a big book deadline and I was really struggling. To be honest, I stuck my head in the sand. I credit hitting that deadline to the sessions I had with Loretta. She help me deal with my procrastination and also with diary planning and organisation. I wouldn’t have got the book done without her.

I was able to understand and work through several issues and therefore regain my confidence. During subsequent job interviews I was confidence discussing my strength and weaknesses and emphasising my transferable skills. I’ve now secured my dream job at a better salary.

Due to a disability that has just reared its ugly head, I was having to close down my business, think of new prospects, opportunites and a sensible way forward. Loretta acted as a catalyst for me to complete the book I had been writing for the past 20 years and she was an accelerant to my finishing a proposal to go back to university and study for a PHD.

I received my PHD offer and accepted it. It has all been a dream come true. I would whole heartedly recommend Loretta to anyone who has reached an impasse and unsure of the way forward personally or professionally.

I highly recommend Loretta as a coach whether for personal development, focus, finding clarity in your life goals or for business coaching. With loretta you will be given the support, focus and the guiding hand you need to get you well and truly on your way. I worked with Loretta point of my life when I’ve had a major life change. My husband I had given up our life in Wales, are home and work, taken the children out of school and embarked on a couple of years travelling abroad. I needed help to set up my online business to sustain us on our travels. However I was lost in scattered mind of a hundred ideas with no focus and lacking confidence on how to proceed. Loretta supported me to focus, she helped me process my ideas and gain clarity around the kind of business I wanted to start up. Through Loretta I found clear direction, I was set realistic and achievable goals which translated into real world progress in setting up my own business. Loretta also supported me to manage my stress levels and gave me strategies to maintain focused during my week. I am incredibly grateful for all the skills, support and coaching I was given.

I had graduated from Edinburgh University with a first class degree but was unsure about my next steps. To be independent I was working in a student job but I needed a career focus. Through working with Loretta on my strengths and interest identification, I went on to narrow down my choices from seven posibilies to three. I then with help from Loretta organised work placements in all three areas. This helped me find my top choice and to apply for my Masters. Edinburgh University Graduate and Masters student
