Karen (mother of Brittaney)'s Story

As a professional whose role often demands a lot of hours and business travel, I regularly found my work spilling over and impacting my personal life in frequent cycles.

I approached Wendy to work with the girls across the school (Years 7-13) within our Well Being Programme to help them to manage their emotional health in a positive way to try to cope with pressure, work through stress/anxiety provoking situations and empower them to achieve their goals.

Thanks to very appropriate, clear and well-structured sessions addressing a group of Y11 students struggling with stress and anxiety, Wendy helped all of them achieve their potential.

Before I found out about Wendy and her incredible life coaching, I had been having counselling from the age of fourteen. I struggled with anxiety during my later years in secondary school and began to find myself on a downwards spiral.

My daughter was diagnosed with Generalised and Social anxiety two years ago, and struggled in her final year of high school, GCSE’s and socialising in everyday life.

Wendy was recommended to us when all other avenues had been explored and any previous professional help failed to improve my daughter’s anxiety, confidence and self-esteem.

The coaching sessions I received have honestly changed my life for the better. I believe that everyone should do this; even if you don’t have anxiety or stress, because it transforms how you think and gives you the life skills to be a happier person all round. Wendy was lovely and made me feel at ease, she was fun and very easy to talk to. The strategies she has taught me have changed my life and I can’t thank her enough.

THANK YOU X

Coming to Wendy has enabled me to stop looking back at what I’ve lost, and instead look forward and towards what I can achieve in my future. With her endless encouragement, patience and support I can set realistic goals and, very importantly at a pace that suits me. Sandra

Although I am not usually one to make New Year’s Resolutions, always feeling that I was setting myself up to fail, this year is different, this year I have made the following promises to myself…

I will live in the moment more and stop focussing on the future (because the future never comes!) I am going to continue to make more of my time outside work in a bid feel more fulfilled I am going to focus on appreciating what I have, instead of always striving for something “better”

The coaching sessions I had with Wendy were fundamental in giving me the confidence to exploring steps in my life I want… to take. Her coaching is professional and balanced. I cannot thank Wendy enough and think her services offered are invaluable. Wendy on a personal level is so approachable, funny and easy to talk to; she is what makes Choose U such an amazing service.

As a man, you don’t always have the network of friends to explore the solutions to problems. Wendy is such a positive and purposeful coach. I benefited a great deal her strategies and common sense.

Coaching with Wendy has really been life changing for me to be honest, it has surpassed all expectations and I was honestly taken a back how quickly I could start to make some real changes to help improve what I get out of my life, have more fun, and worry less. Wendy is a great support, a great coach and just really gets it – everything she says is spot on.

“I moved my chair back into the sunlight.” I would recommend Wendy to any colleague who may have lost their way professionally or otherwise. I came to you when I was having a difficult time in a new job role.

The emotional health and well-being workshop was very well planned and perfectly pitched for our team of future leaders. Feedback from attendees was really encouraging and we have all put in place positive changes in our daily lives.

“Life coaching with Wendy has been absolutely life changing – literally! I was surprised at how core beliefs affect the way I think and live and I’m so glad I set aside time exploring mine.

I was a body length behind at the last turn and my sessions with Wendy gave me the belief that I could win – I won the race on the touch.

Thanks 4 the great feedback. You know, I really feel fired up to fulfil all my targets and more! You are a brill motivation/life coach: not only are you so lively and friendly but you make me believe in myself again. I trust you because you take a personal interest in how I’m progressing and you can genuinely empathise with me about daft little things like chin ups because you too are a physical and competitive person. But stop there Al!

Wendy is such an inspirational lady and motivator and her support has helped me to focus on the important things in my life and work towards achieving goals. Wendy has made such a difference to my life helping me to plan and overcome difficulties which before seemed to be a barrier and held me back from achieving.
