“15 years after the death of my sister, there are still things which crop up, often unexpectedly, which need to be thought about in order to make considered decisions. Lis is able to listen with compassion, giving her full attention to help me think for myself. Her gentle questioning challenges my thinking and allows me to ensure I can be confident of what I truly think and feel” Deborah Ross, Tutor and coach
“I was a chief executive of a children’s hospice until early retirement in 2017. I have had one coaching session with Lis. In this session I identified some of my priorities and work/retirement commitments, in particular how this might work given my serious disability following a massive stroke 6 months after my retirement. In our session I quickly reached the conclusion that I would engage and focus on local opportunities….It is an evolving situation for me….. I found it encouraging, helping me to consolidate my own emerging thinking. So, thank you Lis.” Peter Ellis, retired former Chief Executive Richard House Children's Hospice
“Lis is a great coach because she holds the space for me to think. She challenges me to move out of my comfort zone and face the things I’ve been hiding. I enjoyed working with Lis because she brought out some of the things I’ve been unable to find in myself. If you’re looking for a great coach, especially someone who understands bereavement, I couldn’t recommend anyone more!” Nathan Whitbread, The Neurodivergent Coach ® ACC and IILM accredited
“Lis is enabling me to process and explore feelings I have around my experiences with loss, especially in areas like infertility, childlessness, health and employment…. I felt I had grief that was affecting me and changing who I was, but I didn't really know why …, or how to access the emotions or steps to take to discover what I needed to do to find a way forward . Lis …. helped me start to unlock and make sense of what I was feeling by asking intuitive, open questions that made me work and think hard to find the answers, …. I appreciated how Lis worked with me with flexibility for me to work how I best processed things; whether through chatting, creatively through drawing or colour, through thinking, through space and with challenge (with permission)….Having someone intentionally listening to you and assisting you in organising your thoughts is a precious gift that is hard to come by unless you specifically seek it out in a professional…Lis helped me extract how I was feeling, and then sat with me as I organised and filed my thoughts - some went away in folders, some were put in my 'to do' inbox for me to take away and sort through on my own.” Claire Sandys, Podcaster and writer on grief, loss and hope
