Testimonials
Here is what others have shared about their experience
"Working with Talia was so helpful for my business, The Kindful. Her practical coaching provided exactly what I needed - clear, actionable steps and a structured approach to tackle my business challenges. She was particularly helpful during my website launch and preparation process - helping me steer clear of the weeds of overwhelm and keep focused.
What I appreciated most was her patience and understanding. Her coaching style perfectly balanced professional guidance with genuine empathy.
Our sessions helped me externally process my business thoughts, organise them into coherent plans, and take meaningful action. For anyone running a small business who needs support with clarity and direction, I couldn't recommend her more highly."

I worked with Talia for around 1.5 - 2 years from near the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey. Talia is a wonderful coach who held space for me as a business owner and human, recognising my own personal needs and supporting me to work out solutions that fit me and my situation.
Talia helped me build my business in a sustainable way, motivated and encouraged me, plus helped me to recognise the progress I was making whenever I doubted myself! We developed and streamlined my business plan to a work-able format, and I appreciate the flexibility Talia offered.
If you're considering coaching, I'd highly recommend (and have recommended) working with Talia!

I have been working with Talia over the past month and would like to share how much she has helped me so far.Talia knows exactly which questions to ask, has helped me tap into my own internal resources and helped me to realise just how much I had already achieved.
Having someone on the same wavelength to talk ideas through with makes a world of difference, the great thing is that as a Wellbeing Coaches Coach she really understood where I was coming from. Thanks Talia

I have used Talia to help support me with my fledgling business. Her direction has been immensely helpful and she always had an encouraging word when needed. She is supportive but will help you with ways to move the boundaries of the 'comfort zone' to benefit the businesses of those she is supporting. Thank you so much Talia in helping me move my business forward.
Bernie Jackson
Working with Talia has been such a positive experience. I have seen the value in investing in myself and my business by having coaching sessions with her. When you run a small business you don’t have the time or money to make the wrong choice. After meeting Talia at networking I knew she was the right fit for me. She understood me and some of my challenges which is what makes her so unique.
​
Her knowledge and understanding has helped me massively, the sessions have been constructive and practical and I have felt able to open up about things that have held me back, without fear of being judged.
​
Our brainstorming sessions have given me fresh ideas and boosted my motivation and confidence resulting in more work. Talia’s passion for helping people and their business thrive is evident. She is compassionate, patient and always looks for the positive. I looked forward to each session and always came away feeling energised and more focussed after putting actionable steps into place.
I could not recommend her highly enough. Thank you Talia!

I struggle to explain all the ways Talia has helped me and my business. When I met her I was about 6 months into starting my business and was posting beautiful content on social media everyday and wondering why no one was hiring me. I had no clue what I was doing. I had no foundation. I didn’t even know how much I didn’t know. I had the idea, built a website, got the social media channels and created content. Then I dove in and the response....crickets. No interactions, no leads, no clients.
I was unclear on who my ideal client was (I hadn’t even thought about that to be honest). It was the classic case of talking to everyone and so talking to no one.
When I signed on with Talia everything changed....and quickly. She got to know me and my biz, discovered my strengths and saw what was lacking. She gave me simple actionable steps to build on my strengths and fill in the gaps. Soon I was putting myself out there and speaking with confidence about myself and my business. I pin-pointed who my ideal client was and began to speak directly to them with clarity and confidence.
Everything changed. I began to draw “the right” clients to me. Clients that value my services and want to grow with me.
My business is booming and honestly it is all down to Talia’s amazing guidance and support.
Her lovely warm nature and her ability to break everything down into simple actionable steps make all the difference.

Debbie Stewart
I had a 121 session with Talia and really gained a lot from our time together.
There were many lightbulb moments and the session finished with me feeling significantly more focused and energised.
I love how she personalised the session and understood the limitations that are specific to me - I felt heard and didn't need to justify anything.
I highly recommend Talia and know my business is going to benefit from our time together. Thanks Talia.

Talia is hardworking and personable, with a real enthusiasm for her work. She has a breadth of knowledge and is practical, methodical, careful and thorough. Helpful skills for those of us who lack them. Being an entrepreneur can be scary and lonely. It is easy to make mistakes and waste time and money.
If you are new to business and need someone to hold your hand and guide you Talia is the person for you!

What did you get from working with me?
Erm... it's really hard to quantify/put into words what I got from working with you but I'll try! I found a huge sense of comfort being able to discuss the issues with someone who REALLY understood. You were motivated to help just for the sake of helping, talking around whatever the problems were until we came to solutions. Usually, people come to help you with an agenda... something they want to tick off or need to demonstrate they've done but it wasn't like that with you.
I felt like I finally had someone on my side, working with me to make things better. It's a very lonely place being an SEN mum and having you hear it and 'get' it helped so much. Being able to talk it through with you also really allowed me to process what was going on. You held me to account with various things (which I hugely needed) and helped and encouraged me in very practical ways to get things done. You supported me so that I could support Emily, it was a much more holistic approach rather than a surface one. Add to that, you were interested (or seemed it!) to hear about the backgrounds and the whys rather than just what was right in front of our faces which quite honestly no one else ever seems to be interested in. I think this was why we managed to be so successful in helping both me and Emily. I found someone who I could trust to tell the whole ugly truth to rather than needing to be careful with my words which made it much easier to get to the bottom too.

What did you get from working with me?
Working with you has given me a better understanding of who I am and where I stand as a single, relatively low confidence / low self-esteem parent. You have enabled me to see my inherent worth, if not for myself, but for my children and for their emotional stability and wellbeing. You have enabled me to understand the inherent importance of every member of my immediate family ... inclusive of the potential rollercoaster rides that may occur due to neurodiversity and other health matters … and …. and more importantly what not to do when the ‘red mist descends’.
Working with you has enabled me to change my negative and detrimental ‘blinkered approach’ to my ongoing (either real or imagined) issues and concerns which previously snowballed at an ever increasing pace for an uncomfortably long period of time. Like above - you have enabled me to see that it is not uncommon for people to have issues and concerns … but everyone’s specific issues etc are specific to themselves - and that nobody lives in anybody else’s shoes. Put another way … even if the tunnel is very long … there is light at the other end! (even if it seems extremely far away). Life is not about ‘keeping up with the Jone’s’ … life is about ‘placing the bar at a realistic level’ that suits us specifically at a specific time and adjusting the bar as and when it is appropriate.
Having worked with you I have discovered there are options available that I didn’t even know existed never mind were available to someone like me … with my diminishing self worth and distinct lack of inner motivation / drive to break out of my negative mindset. Working with you has shown me that I do have some value and importance and am in the position to use my skills, attributes and insights into helping others in a similar situation to my own.
Working with you has taught me to be the best parent that I can within my own limitations / boundaries / available resources and to be happy in what I am / what I have and that my children will love me for being who I am … no matter what happens.

What did you get from working with me?
I was given an opportunity to have a safe space for a reasonable amount of time, 60 min to talk openly about the daily challenges I had faced over the week which gave an insight into the overall issues of raising a child with quite severe ADHD and ASD traits. I think in order to fully benefit from coaching there needs to be a feeling of trust, openness, a connection and deeper understanding that not every child on the spectrum is text book. Not every parents feelings are text book. We are in the end all human, beyond being a mother, I am still an individual with my own social emotional needs and despite desperately wanting to improve in so many ways discussed during sessions, I felt it ok to say it didn’t always go as planned.
In an ideal world after completing 6 sessions my challenges with my 8year old son would have been resolved but In many ways they had just started as try to re learn better communication styles like saying No without saying the word No. Learning to say Yes more. Gaining more control over situations. Learning strategies to better support my child socially and emotionally. Finding humour and positivity again in the little things we forget with our children. Understanding the benefits of adhd medication for my child and adapting it to help support family life. I feel from working with Talia we covered a lot of ground and more sessions would have been beneficial as There is still much work my end to continue implementing in order to rebuild and improve my realtionship with my son but the continued commitment during the coaching sessions motivated me to carry on and keep practicing the areas discussed during our sessions. Sometimes with all the will and effort you’ve just got to walk away, step outside, breath and try again.
I’m very grateful all I’ve learned and to have had a fantastic coach who listened without judgment.
