I was uncertain to first start working with Sheela as I not had been coached before. I needn’t have worried as she carefully listened and quickly demonstrated her understanding of what I was trying to get at, often before I did but, still allowed me space to get there myself.
Sessions went quickly and were enjoyable which is a testament to her approach. Everything felt very tailored and specific to me but I had a reassuring sense that Sheela was operating from a base of vast experience and success with others before me.
Starting with broad discussions followed by clarity and focussed work helped me a lot. I always had something to focus on between sessions and found myself being more mindful in my approach to specific goals and to life in general.

Sheela has a calm, thoughtful, supportive and reassuring approach which allowed me to open up and honestly explore all the issues at the levels I never knew existed and it is at that moment that the magic of coaching and its impact started to unravel. Sheela has an amazing natural ability to see through the complexity of situations and emotions and to ask just the right questions that bring a greater sense of clarity and direction, and a new sense of positivity in life and about life, which is precisely the feeling I came away with after each session. I found particular breakthroughs on developing my career as a coach and finding my authentic self and issues around improving relationships at home. Overall, my experience with Sheela has been hugely valuable for my personal development, as I now experience life with increased levels of self-awareness and feeling excited and positive about my future.

Sheela has helped me to clarify what it is that I want to achieve in my career and work out a practical way of how to get there. She somehow manages to make sense of my ramblings and after every session I would come away enthused and with a plan to help me move forward. She always asks the right questions to spark my thinking and has innate way of calling me out on any unhelpful beliefs. Every session has been incredibly valuable. I would recommend Sheela’s coaching to anyone wanting to make a positive change in their life

Sheela is a really positive, enthusiastic and friendly person. I felt really at ease and comfortable talking to her. She really helped me to see things differently about myself, to make some big self realisations and overcome some limiting self beliefs. Sheela has given me the confidence to really believe in myself and have been able to do things I never thought would be possible a few years ago. Sheela is also excellent at giving very useful practical advice to help with networking and understanding my strengths which has helped move me forward to take my career in a new direction. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Sheela to anyone looking for help if they feel stuck in their career or other area of life.

Sheela is a coach whom I was in need at a difficult time of my life and she helped me a lot to come out from that phase. Whatever I am today, I owe her for her support, compassion, empathy and professionalism. I would love to be with her client for any given opportunity. I wish her all the success and I am sure all her clients will be benefited the same way as I had.

A totally positive and enjoyable experience – thank you Sheela.
Loved speaking with you every session and felt very comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with you.
The positivity and energy I came away with after each session was amazing!
You’ve helped me to see things differently and focus on the possibilities in the future.

I booked Sheela as the keynote speaker for our Trainee Teachers Health and Well-being conference. It was a really fascinating talk.
Sheela gave the trainees a really strong mix of the underpinning theory and practical, readily accessible activities that they could implement right from today.
I talked to several who were inspired by her journey and what they could take from it.
Sheela had clearly put a huge amount of time, effort and thought into the preparation of the talk. Thank you!”
Kathryn Athow, Head of Careers
We were delighted with the workshop on Wellbeing provided by Sheela as part of our department away day.
Sheela took great care to understand and incorporate our unique needs, and the insightful and engaging session had something for everyone from our large and diverse team.
Thank you very much Sheela

I was ‘stuck’ without really knowing why, or how to move on. Sheela helped me to untangle my own thinking by asking the right questions, reflecting my thoughts back to me and offering practical advice – all of which stayed in my head long after each session. It was an excellent investment in myself, my career and my happiness, and a new role has been the payback, thanks Sheela 🙂

I spoke to a couple of coaches before I found Sheela but didn’t feel like I really connected with any of them and wasn’t sure the process was for me. When I met Sheela I instantly felt at ease and comfortable to open up about myself. Sheela knows exactly what sort of questions to ask and when to ask them. She doesn’t mind there being silence and gives you time to work through your thoughts but also recognises when you might be struggling and knows how to help you along. I’m so pleased that I went ahead with the sessions as I have learned a lot about myself over the last couple of months and feel that I have come away armed with the tools I need to continue my journey. The setting was absolutely perfect too; sitting in a beach hut with a hot water bottle, hot drink, and a beautiful view of the sea.
