Recommendations and reviews from the people who have trained and been coached with us.
“I have been a part of Sarah's advanced coaching certification. After two other certifications I can say that Sarah's went into ten times more detail and used evidence-based tools and explanations. It also helped me personally, as we practised in the sessions and could bring in real-life problems and get coached. I am already a far better coach than I was before this certification, and my clients feel the same. Sarah's energy is amazing, and the course feels safe and welcoming. I would totally recommend Sarah and this certification to everyone who wants to become an amazing coach.”
Marta Coric, Ph.D.
Advanced Coaching Certification graduate
“I completed the AC Advanced Coaching with NLP diploma with Sarah to refresh my coaching skills and learn more about NLP techniques. Sarah created a very safe and inclusive space to learn and practise with a wonderful group of women. What I particularly enjoyed was the way she applied the evidence base behind everything she taught and aligned it to her applied experience as a coach. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a thorough and recognised certification which includes executive level, via a more contemporary and engaging delivery approach.”

Helen Cooksley, CPsychol
Consultant Chartered Occupational Psychologist
“I have just completed the January cohort of the AC Advanced Coaching with NLP diploma taught by Sarah. I can highly recommend the course. The information was well presented and organised, and Sarah's teaching was high quality, well researched and resourced. She provided a safe environment to practise, make mistakes, learn, discuss and explore coaching models and NLP. The sessions were uplifting, empowering and informative. I have learnt so much and met wonderful professional women who will now be lifelong friends and colleagues. Thanks Sarah.”

“The effects of the NLP coaching far exceeded my expectations, mainly because I was completely unaware of the issues that were really holding me back. The coaching allowed me to make sense of my issues and then helped me find an effective way of moving forward.”

“I loved how she constantly ensured it was engaging and specific, even to a wide audience. It reminded me that there is a community of people passionate about occupational psychology in the workplace, not just muddling through with non-evidence-based practices.”
