“
Working with Tom was a real pleasure. His gentle, but direct and encouraging approach has really helped clarify what it is that I value most in my life, what needs to change, and how to put that into action. What I appreciated most about Tom is that he really met me where I am, attentive to what I needed in that moment, with a well-timed question often unlocking new insights on the journey.”

“

Before my sessions with Tom I had no idea how much of a difference changing your perspective, expectations and approach to a relationship can have on your happiness. I had been struggling with most aspects of a particular job - the way I was perceived and treated, and the way that was making me feel and react, which in turn reinforced the way people perceived and treated me. It was a destructive reinforcing circle. But Tom was able to give me the tools to break the cycle, by quickly understanding the issues I was facing, and reassess my expectations based on my values. Having focused on what the job can give me, while being aware of what it can’t, I’ve come full circle, and now really enjoy doing it.”

“

I began my coaching sessions with Tom at a time when I’d already decided to make some significant changes to my working life and think more courageously about what a life outside a conventional office environment could look like. Tom’s thoughtful and compassionate approach helped me answer deeper questions I had not addressed until then by helping me articulate my own set of deeply held values. His gentle, but probing approach to coaching enabled me to find the clarity I’d been looking for and I couldn’t be more grateful. It is easy to lose oneself in a complex situation, but Tom showed me that oftentimes the answers can be simple and straightforward. Throughout this journey, I’d come away feeling positive and understood after each session and I found the support he gave me during this particularly challenging time invaluable. Thank you, Tom.”

“
Tom provided me with a really valuable opportunity to voice my thoughts in a safe and understanding space. His personal understanding of the teaching life and its challenges meant that he could nudge my thinking and provoke me to think deeply about the skill sets I already had, plus the ones I would require to move my career in the direction I wanted. Tom is very patient and focused on my specific needs. He was able to provide some great tools and suggestions that I was able to take away and use for myself. I would whole-heartedly recommend Tom to anyone who is feeling ‘stuck,’ looking to make a change in their lives or just treading water.”

“

At a time of significant change in my professional and personal life, Tom helped me clarify my goals, challenged me to focus on what was important and helped me prepare for the uncertainty ahead. He provided clarity in challenging circumstances, gave me the tools to work through it and helped me see the wood for the trees.”

“Tom has been an immense help to me over the last several months as I navigate a difficult mid-life transition.  He has guided me in getting clear on my core values and how to design my life according to them, as well as on how to overcome limiting beliefs and take charge of my life, rather than staying stuck in previous thought patterns. His calm and gentle manner, wisdom and positive attitude have been instrumental in supporting me through this transition. He has also held me accountable by giving me clear action steps to get closer to my goals with weekly follow-ups. I am healthier, happier and more focused on my purpose now thanks to our sessions together. I would not have been able to make the progress I have made without Tom’s guidance and can highly recommend him to anyone willing to break through difficult life situations.”

“Tom has a warm, kind and interested manner, but isn’t afraid to call out and challenge preconceptions and damaging defence mechanisms - the perfect combination for a life coach. My work with Tom has been so valuable to me.”

“
Tom’s sessions came just at the right time for me. His willingness to listen, to ask insightful questions and to provide a practical framework to explore my own motivations helped me develop a fresh perspective. Working with Tom to really understand my values has proved essential in making decisions about the next steps in both my career and life.”

“

Working with Tom really helped me gain a better understanding of why I feel the way I do, helping me notice the patterns and deal with my issues and concerns in a way that I couldn’t have otherwise. It has definitely given me the ability to communicate more easily with people, as well as giving me more direction and less worry surrounding my life beyond education. I’d highly recommend Tom to anyone who is struggling with their personal or professional lives.”

“
Having coaching sessions with Tom this year has been hugely helpful to me, both personally and professionally. I have already seen concrete results to some of the work we have been doing. It is great working with Tom; he is understanding but not sentimental and gives a clear impression of competence and confidence - one feels immediately in good hands. He has been supporting me in working through some issues around procrastination and time management in particular, and I feel like I have gained a much greater awareness of what I can do to help myself. I would thoroughly recommend coaching sessions with Tom.”

“

I really hold Tom in high regard not only because of his friendly, relaxed and varied approach to the coaching process, but also because of his extensive experience in the working world. I felt immediately at ease in our first session. It felt like I was given a really helpful balance of space to voice concerns about the past and present, with prompts to start me thinking about what I needed looking towards the future. I am very grateful for Tom’s help, which has supported me in processing some really stressful experiences from the past few years, as well as giving me a greater sense of positivity and self-confidence in moving forward.”

“
Tom has been absolutely brilliant. He’s really helped me to understand what’s important to me and how I can make changes (big and small) to my life, so that it aligns better with the things I value. He’s a great listener, providing perceptive insights and suggesting helpful activities, which have helped me to clarify my thoughts and feelings. If you’re feeling stuck in a rut and want to make some changes to your life but are a bit unsure about exactly what to change or how to do it, I’d highly recommend Tom’s life coaching.”
