Testimonials
“I started working with Gemma 6 years ago as a structured part of my professional development, focused on supporting me through pivotal leadership and career moments.
Gemma provides thoughtful, practical coaching that creates real clarity. Her ability to listen, challenge, and reframe has helped me grow personally and professionally. She uses easy to understand tools and leadership models to define problems and solutions, and I always leave our sessions with greater confidence and focus. Her homework assignments also ensure that I don’t walk away without knowing what real actions I need to take to make the changes necessary to improve.
Not only are our sessions invariably insightful, confidential, and practical, but most of all they have given me a trusted thinking space outside my day-to-day work environment. Sometimes the simple act of talking things through in a safe space is the most valuable part of our sessions together.
Undoubtedly, working with Gemma has had a lasting impact on how I lead and make decisions as has easily been the best professional development investment I’ve made in myself. Full-time coach, part-time counsellor, and now a large part friend, I have Gemma to thank for where I am in my career today.”

"I was working as a Mechanical Engineer when I met Gemma, 'climbing the ladder' and aiming for senior roles by default without really considering what I wanted out of my career. Working with Gemma helped me to identify that I do not find joy in the technical side of things; instead, I enjoy the people aspect of work. This insight has been an absolute game changer.
My coaching experience with Gemma has made such a difference to me personally and professionally, knowing that I have someone like her on my team that I can trust. She is someone who is able to provide an objective view and offer advice, while listening and disseminating information quickly. Gemma has a great sense of humour which she draws upon in our coaching sessions to create a safe environment when talking about difficult or stressful issues.
Having Gemma as my coach has been invaluable in navigating the corporate world. The insights I’ve gained have completely shifted the way I look at work and what I want to get out of my career."
