“Working with Amanda has given me a huge amount of insight into the way I think and the way I deal with challenging situations. By helping me to see things from different perspectives and challenging my understanding of things which I had come to think were set in stone, I have been freed of some long-standing restrictions on my ability to be truly happy within myself. Amanda’s coaching style has been flexible enough to allow us to explore a few acute concerns. However, the strategies applied to these issues were presented in such a way that I am totally confident in transferring these skills into other domains for future use. Overall, I feel less stressed and more satisfied, not only in my career, but on a personal and relational level as well. I make absolutely no hesitation in recommending Amanda as a life coach, regardless of what aspects of your life you hope to improve.”
