"Mike is an absolutely fantastic coach. I came to Mike to seeking ADHD coaching after a diagnosis in 2023, I wasn't in a great place and didn't know what to expect. I knew I wanted someone that would be honest and 'no nonsense' with me whilst still being supportive, and Mike was exactly that. We worked on a variety of things from my work life, personal life, money management and even washing up! Mike was kind, considerate and made coaching feel like a really safe space, I never felt judged or silly. I wasn't sure where I needed to start but Mike picked up on things from our short introductory phone call that I hadn't even recognised in myself. I finished after 6 weeks of coaching sessions and they completely changed my life. I have strategies in place that Mike supported me with and I am a way more confident version of myself. If you are looking for ADHD coaching (or any other kind!), I would highly recommend Mike!"

"I started working with Mike in August 2023, I needed to find some pathway to navigate dealing better with a relationship breakup but more so to find a direction and better structure with my life. Mike is a very easy person to talk and connect with. He has a great ability to steer you in the right direction and to find and point out things you simply don't see clearly for yourself. Mike has helped me immeasurably with just four sessions to date. I have made so much clear progress. His genuine, honest, keen interest and his attention to everything that was being discussed along with very valuable follow up notes have been so much help to me. You talk with friends, family and in some cases other professionals in this field but it clearly is a skill and must come with experience too, Mike has both in spades and I for sure will want to continue working with him, there is so much more on offer but I am well on my way."

"I started working with Mike in April 2023, to help find ways of tackling difficult situations at work. We worked on helping me develop ways of getting my point across, building my confidence about my role and how to influence others in challenging situations. I’ve learned a lot about myself in a short space of time, and Mike has helped me build some resilience. I feel calmer and more confident about dealing with challenging situations at work, and it’s really helped. At the end of last year, I was diagnosed with ADHD and Mike’s support has been invaluable in helping me with time management and dealing with how to deal with my mood when I feel overwhelmed - he sends me notes at the end of each session that I can refer back to and I love that. It’s been a really positive experience.”

"Sometimes no matter how many books you read, friends you talk to, or even pep talks you give yourself, you realise you are still not moving forward. After many years of procrastinating I decided I wanted my life to change. I knew what I wanted, but, had no idea how to get there. I looked into coaching and Mike just stood out. He has the ability to guide you, but in a way where you realise, you are the one in control. After only four sessions, I had made so many changes and felt like the only place I could now go, was forward."

Grace, mature student & mum, Nottingham

"Mike and I worked with each other over the course of one month. Our weekly sessions provided a forum in which I could start to make the change I felt was needed in my life. We first identified were I was at, this was really useful as it gave me a base from which to work. With a systematic approach I was able to identify what is was I was unsatisfied with and then use Mikes coaching techniques to set goals and make progress. Two months later I have strengthened my self management skills and apply them to many areas of my life. I feel empowered in areas of my life that were dark places for me before. I now embrace the management of my affairs, Mike provided a structure and suggested techniques for this to be possible. This has been a most productive experience."

Paul, graduate, Winchester

"When I first met Mike I was in an unfulfilling middle management job that made me unhappy. He gave me the tools to lift myself out of the rut and get the life I wanted. I'm currently a Commercial Director working in the IT sector and Mike now helps me with work/life balance and provides support to ensure I focus on the right priorities for me. Mike has the talent to provide an objective balance of support/care and tough talking and whether it is sorting out a particular problem or dealing with general life issues he gently guides you through what you need to do to lead the life you really want."

Joanne, commercial director, London

"I knew that I really wanted to do something else with my life... I was quite angry and frustrated because I was fed up with racking my brains to decide what it was I wanted to do, I just could not seem to make that first step. I had been thinking about using a life coach for a while but to be honest, never really had the confidence to make an appointment and pour out my problems to a complete stranger, however, when I saw the telephone consultation I decided to give it a go. I was quite sceptical during the first session but talking by phone enabled me to come out with the honest truth and strangely, I found Mike to be full of real, practical and honest advice.  He told me exactly what he thought and different ways to handle each situation.  He gave me lots of tasks to do, lots of things to think about each time. I can honestly tell you that I put the phone down and felt so positive thinking - I can do this. It was fantastic. You get used to talking to friends and family but they don't always tell you how it is at the risk of hurting your feelings - Mike gives you analysis so you think about it yourself. I would just like to say a huge thank you, after 10 weeks amazing things have happened and I will definitely be back in touch if pressure strikes again!! Many thanks."

"I'm getting my act together big style and I put a lot of the foundations for that down to you Mike. I was at my lowest point ever when I got in touch with you and now life's totally different."

Paula, mature student, Belfast

"Following a traumatic period in my life, I was suffering from insomnia, severe phobias and total loss of self-confidence.  Coaching taught me how to relax and overcome my fears, and it rebuilt my confidence by helping me to define what I wanted out of life and take some simple steps towards achieving my goals.  Mike was a great listener, a trusted guide and a constant support."

Kate, business consultant, Docklands, London

"Sometimes the simplest things can make the most profound difference. I'd been having huge problems with my line manager, and had tried every strategy I knew to make our working relationship tolerable but it was reaching the stage when my only option seemed to be to leave. Mike showed me a straightforward technique which gave me a whole new perspective on the situation, and a way of addressing the problems we were having. The most surprising thing was that once I knew I could do it differently, everything about the situation changed - because my attitude to it had changed. It has been hugely valuable having someone like Mike challenging my assumptions about myself. He takes no prisoners - but he'll also make you laugh!"
                       
Hannah, local government officer, Taunton

"Mike's outstanding abilities as a listener and motivator helped me to visualise where I wanted to be in the future and adopt a more positive and balanced approach to my personal and work life in the present; with his help I was able to equip myself with the skills and confidence that I needed to tackle my problems head-on and come out on top."
