Testimonials
Supporting people to value themselves
My intention in coaching is to be fully present and provide a judgement free space that enables people to tap in to their unique wisdom and resourcefulness.
I like to work equally, in partnership with clients, with honesty, compassion and fun.
My coaching clients include individuals looking to build resilience and confidence, who may be experiencing stress and overwhelm, or anyone looking to work through changes in their career or life.
Correcting the foundation on which I stand
I was given a choice of mentors to partner with and it was only with Henri that I felt an instant connection and I could not place my finger on it but it was one of those 'when you know you know'. Having worked with her it became apparent my initial biases on choosing her were quantified as she was able to identify and challenge my ingrained thought processes and realising the possibilities of framing my mind towards limitless thoughts. She had a knack not to provide or lead you to the answers she wanted instead she pushed me to think and think again, at times it was awkward to address thoughts/situations that were uncomfortable. Henri was good at placing a mirror firmly at your face and allowing you to face your problems head-on in a warm and gentle manner, where you are invited to being comfortable with the uncomfortable. Thank you, Henri.
Towards the end of time together Henri introduced me to Think Love which sounded a little fluffy, to begin with but it is nothing but! Henri is equipped in correcting your foundation on which you stand so you are able to walk with your head held high and to be honest teaching me strategies where I now can skip and eventually dance as I walk. I would highly recommend Henri, she is more than just a coach she empowers you to alter your perspective on yourself in an exceptionally positive way.
Life lessons for me and those around me - so thank you for opening my eyes and looking up as the future looks pleasantly positive!

I felt confident in her knowledge and expertise
I can highly recommended Henri as a Coach. From the Initial chemistry session, I felt confident in her knowledge and expertise. She is calm, considered & friendly and put me at ease from the outset.
As Coaching was a new experience for me, Henri took time to patiently talk me through the approach.
We started with Gallup Strengthsfinder which I found to be a powerful and insightful tool. It provided a helpful foundation for the subsequent coaching sessions, all of which were very open, honest and practical in response to my preferences.
In terms of results, I understand myself far better, feel more confident and have some practical techniques to use in the more challenging personal and work situations.
All in all a very positive, thought inducing, practical and enjoyable experience.

An invaluable part of my leadership and personal development
I took on a senior strategic role within my organisation during the Covid-19 pandemic and was fortunate enough to be offered some initial coaching sessions, which I was able to extend. My coaching sessions with Henri have been an invaluable part of my leadership and personal development over the last year. I found it very easy to quickly develop a positive relationship with Henri and build that open and trusting space that enabled me to explore some thorny leadership dilemmas. Henri is insightful, perceptive and has a broad range of tools, strategies and perspectives which really helped me to understand different dimensions of my leadership identity and development. Every session I left feeling energised and looking ahead to what was possible. She helped me to better understand my strengths, and provided me with tangible strategies to use in practice. Her coaching sessions and approach created a space and provocation to really explore my own values and understand (and address) my own limiting behaviours. She coaches with compassion and clarity. Reflecting over the last year, whilst leading during a pandemic, I can see how my sessions with Henri have helped to sustain me, and grow as a person, bringing better perspective to my work and personal life. Thank you Henri

I've gained a sense of lightness
Henri's calm non judgemental manner enabled me to go deep into challenging my limiting beliefs and understanding how they trip me up. The reflection work and support between sessions was powerful too, I couldn't recommend investing in time with her more for personal or professional development.
Her guidance and the insights I reached have been an absolute gift. During the course I addressed issues around health, personal relationships, work and future plans. After a difficult year with covid, pneumonia and demanding work & family responsibilities this was the "press reset" I needed.
I've gained a sense of lightness and maybe enlightenment! You will thank yourself if you decide to work with her.

A gift I will nurture and treasure for ever
Late in 2020, after a year of uncertainty and restrictions to our daily lives caused by the Covid-19 pandemic I had 6 sessions of coaching with Henri. I could not have wished for a better gift, at the right time, by the right person!
Henri is easy to work with and you can feel by her energy, even virtually, she is the walking embodiment of all that she coaches.
She introduced me to the Think Love Education (TLE) QUEST model created by founder of TLE, Catherina O'Gorman and walked me through our sessions with compassion, kindness and professionalism. I felt at ease to explore themes I used to find hard to acknowledge, let alone talk about.
The toolkit provided TLE QUEST model and the shift it creates in our own emotions and behaviours, when applied, is very powerful.
The sessions with Henri showed me the path to finding and accepting the truth in my whole self and opened my mind to self compassion in a way I had not known or understood before. The awareness the sessions gave me is a gift I will nurture and treasure forever and I cannot thank Henri enough for showing me the path.

Approachable and non-judgemental
I would highly recommend Henri as a professional coach. I feel I have grown and developed into a more rounded manager as a result of Henri's coaching. I worked with Henri for just over 12 months, and I managed to change my outlook and management style, which would not have been achieved without this coaching. I initially started coaching to help me with my organisational and time management skills to help me achieve my Level 5 apprenticeship. I was getting too caught up in the day to day job rather than focussing on my development. It soon became clear that the issue was not my perceived weaknesses (organisation / time management skills). I needed to change my mindset and management style.
Before coaching I would over analyse every situation and jump to conclusions and often criticise and blame myself for failings or performance issues with myself and or the team. I was mentally drained. I was able to change my focus and mindset and we are working towards a high performing team with excellent results. Henri is approachable and is non-judgemental. I was made to feel I was talking to an independent friend and was able to open up about things going on in my personal life and in worklife, and I feel this rapport and openness helped me achieve so much more than I needed. I do not believe my journey is over, and I will use Henri's services again in the future when I need more coaching.
