Testimonials from Coaches

  • "I studied under Anna in 2020 so for me as a practicing coach seeking a deeper perspective into client work, she was a natural choice as my coaching supervisor. She has an innate ability to work with coaches by gently posing thought provoking questions in a way that enables deep learning and unlocks insights. She brings a calm and active listening presence, warmth and practical viewpoint to every session. She is also so generous with her own experience as a highly experienced coach. I look forward to working with Anna in the future and I can't recommend her highly enough."

Every session is relaxed and enjoyable, and she fully understands every element of the ICF requirements.
