What our clients think…
“I started working with Hannah at a time when I was feeling particularly overwhelmed and burnt out by the pressures and complexities of my charity chief executive role.”
‘Looking back, meeting Hannah was like being thrown a lifejacket at a critical time. Working with her has enabled me to reconnect with, appreciate and take better care of myself so that I can stay afloat and thrive in my role and be present in my own life. I feel that Hannah offers more than coaching. She is a gifted and intuitive lady who is able to get alongside her clients in a remarkable, significant and impactful way.’
Becky | Mental Health Charity
“I am a far more confident and brave version of myself having spent time with her.”
‘Hannah is wonderful! We started working together just as I was launching my new social enterprise. She helped me navigate some really challenging times and to prepare for the unknown experiences ahead of me. I immediately felt totally myself with her and was able to open up without even trying. Hannah has a such a talent for understanding people; their character, personality and also their gremlins! I am a far more confident and brave version of myself having spent time with her. I’ve worked through so many issues, I now have a much clearer understanding of my strengths and most importantly, I’m proud of them all!’
Hannah | CEO of social enterprise, London
“Hannah has given me much more than confidence in my career choices.”
‘I found Hannah as I was looking to make a career change but struggling with doubts. Hannah helped me to clarify where I wanted to get to, and provided a number of tools to boost my courage and confidence to get there. I now feel at peace with the decisions I’m making and happy that I’m heading the right direction.
Claire | MSc Community Water and Sanitation student, London
“Having worked with Hannah for over a year, we’ve been slowly peeling back the layers and it’s got really raw in some sessions, but every second was worth it.”
‘Working with Hannah changed my life. When I came to her I was in a very different place I am now. Even though I was a successful entrepreneur, earning a decent wage and growing a business, I was unhappy. It felt at the time there was something gnawing at me and holding me back, and I was overwhelmed by negative thoughts and beliefs about what I should or shouldn’t be doing with my life. From our very first session together, Hannah made a difference.
Hannah has a calm, conversational way of helping you open up and reveal the thoughts and beliefs behind how your emotions work. She doesn’t advise or try to explain how you’re feeling, she simply asks the right questions and uses really clever ways of getting into and out of your head space so you reveal what’s really going on. It’s so hard to explain in words what a transformational process it is – and I was hugely skeptical until that very first session. Having worked with Hannah for over a year, we’ve been slowing peeling back the layers and it’s got really raw in some sessions, but every second was worth it. I wouldn’t be in the position I am today without Hannah. I am happy. And it has affected every part of my life from my home and family life through to my business life; yes, it’s actually made me a better entrepreneur. I’m earning more, having a bigger impact and throwing myself into my work in a way I didn’t think possible.
Hannah has an amazing gift and I feel privileged and lucky to be at the right place at the right time to have met her and worked with her. If you have the chance to work with Hannah, grab that opportunity with both hands as it will be a wonderful, revealing journey that changes your life. It changed mine. Thank you, Hannah.’
Jody | Entrepreneur, Haywards Heath
“I initially went to get help with my decision making in all aspects of my life, but ended up coming out with so much more.”
‘I have worked with Hannah for a number of months and I can honestly say it has been the most eye-opening and positive experience for me. I initially went to get help with my decision making in all aspects of my life, but ended up coming out with so much more.
I’ve had psychotherapy and counselling and in the past and do lots of self development, but this was such a unique approach that seemed to help me look at things from a different perspective which really helped me deal with emotional issues that might be a block to me living a more fulfilled and happy life. Hannah is so warm, honest, friendly and encouraging, I felt really ‘safe’ to express what I was feeling or thinking without being judged. It’s an ongoing process & I am still working on myself; my attitudes to myself and others but it has really made me want to fully embrace life and all it has to offer! Thank you Hannah!’
Emily | Teacher, Brighton
“Thanks to Hannah’s coaching I have conquered fears, ended toxic relationships, become debt free and I’m building a brand that I’m passionate about.”
‘When I came to Hannah, I was at one of the lowest points of my life. I felt aimless and numb and none of the other routes I had tried before had helped much. I wanted to take charge but didn’t know how or where to start. With Hannah’s encouraging support, infectious enthusiasm and ability to collaborate rather than dictate I began to make changes – HUGE changes – in all areas of my life. My focus at the start of our sessions had been to focus on what I wanted to achieve in my career but the changes I made had a knock on effect on other areas of my life which I had not purposefully focused on initially. Thanks to Hannah’s coaching I have conquered fears, ended toxic relationships, become debt free and I’m building a brand that I’m passionate about. I cannot believe the difference a few months working with Hannah has made. I cannot recommend her highly enough!’
Susan | Travel writer and photographer, London
“If you’re feeling stuck in your life, and want some insight to open things up and move forward, then I’d thoroughly recommend Hannah’s coaching services.”
‘To be honest, I didn’t come to Hannah’s coaching with a huge life issue I wanted to overcome. It was more a general sense of wanting to reinvigorate my life and be more open and inspired, given that I felt I was reaching a crossroads moment in my life where I needed to make decisions. I’d tried out different kinds of therapy in the past – counselling, CBT, Jungian – but I never really got on well with any of those approaches. I either felt I wasn’t getting anywhere, or I didn’t really trust the practitioner and feel comfortable with it.
I’m happy to say that my experience of life coaching with Hannah was by far the most positive form of therapy I’ve ever done. Hannah created a relationship where I quickly felt comfortable to be open and intimate with her – which for me is a big thing! I felt she was a coach in a real sense – supporting and guiding me through stuff, cheering me on, and celebrating with me afterwards. She’s incredibly perceptive but also incredibly warm and loving, which together make the perfect combination for a good coach. And the whole process was also a lot more fun than any other kind of therapy I’ve done before – we’d usually laugh at least once during a session.
If you’re feeling stuck in your life, and want some insight to open things up and move forward, then I’d thoroughly recommend Hannah’s coaching services.’
Richard | Senior Digital Content Producer working in the Charity sector, London
“The sessions I had with Hannah have made a huge difference to my life.”
‘The sessions I had with Hannah have made a huge difference to my life. I initially thought that I wanted some coaching to work through a career related decision but after an initial session, I realised there were much more fundamental issues to do with self belief and self love that I needed to address. Hannah took me on an incredible journey into my own self and helped me realise who I really am, what my core values are and steps I can take to move beyond my gremlins and become an improved, more awake, fuller version of myself. I would 100% recommend Hannah to anyone and everyone and I know I will be having more coaching in the future.’
Nikki | Learning Technology Manager, Hampshire
“Hannah held me to account and didn’t let me cop out.”
‘Hannah helped me find courage at the time I needed it most. She helped me find the best version of myself and made sure I remained true to her when I wobbled.
When I started working with Hannah, I was on the cusp of making what felt like a massive decision, to leave a safe and fulfilling job, to pursue the life I really wanted. Through her care and attention, Hannah helped me find the courage to go for it. Hannah held me to account and didn’t let me cop out.
I may not be rich in money just yet, but I’m so much richer in life.’
Kate | Career Coach, London
“It was a transformative year, I felt she helped me grow emotionally, mentally and as an entrepreneur.”
‘With Hannah I was able to visualise my emotions, go back to any painful incident and replay it in my mind to find solutions so I was emotionally prepared should it happen again. I always felt safe with Hannah’s guidance. It was a transformative year, I felt she helped me grow emotionally, mentally and as an entrepreneur. I feel as though my main frame has been debugged and rebooted – I’m a better version of my former self – 2.0 all thanks to Hannah.’
CC | Female entrepreneur and Co-founder in London Tech Industry
“After a few months coaching, I’m happier, positive and looking forward to life.”
‘I came to Hannah at a particularly low point in my life. I was ill, depressed, overweight and had just missed out on promotion at work. After talking with her my life started to improve greatly.
Hannah helped me deal with a few underlying problems that I didn’t realise I had. Her powerful techniques helped me get in touch with the negative feelings that were holding me back, she then helped me deal and accept fully these feelings and I can really see the improvement.
A number of problems in my life materialised during the coaching sessions, and thanks to Hannah I was able to deal with them far better than I could have on my own.
After a few months coaching, I’m happier, positive, looking forward to life and I’m losing weight as fast as I put it on. With Hannah’s help I’m confident that these are not just short term fixes and will be effective long into my future.’
Lee | Leeds
“It’s been exciting uncovering how my emotions work, altering the way I do simple day to day things that are astonishingly changing all parts of my life.”
‘My sessions with Hannah have been truly inspirational! It’s been exciting uncovering how my emotions work, altering the way I do simple day to day things that are astonishingly changing all aspects of my life. I’ve happened to have had a tougher than usual time during my coaching and Hannah has been there to help me think clearly and see the larger part of the puzzle.’
Karl | Designer, London
“It is difficult to explain in words how I feel after this series of meetings. To simply use words or phrases like elated, released, confident, stronger, having clarity on the path ahead are not enough.”
”Inside of me was a box. In this box, constrained and frustrated, I hid all of the things I really wanted to achieve but wasn’t able to set free. The box was hidden in a mass of fear mixed with lack of confidence built up through years of complying with corporate image and responsibility.
Inside this box was the real me – not the image I projected which is what I thought people wanted to see.
I knew I wanted to move forwards and unlock the box but couldn’t see the path to do it. Then following a chance meeting with Hannah I committed to a journey that would prove challenging, exciting and emotionally uplifting.
Our first exploratory meeting was a little coy and I was my usual restrained self but then something happened. Hannah’s approach to explore beyond the barriers is astounding. I have never spent time with someone more able to pick up on little nuances and probe into where these thoughts and feelings were coming from in the way Hannah can. Throughout our meetings Hannah put me totally at ease and able to share everything knowing I was not judged and she ensured I remained focussed on the journey I wanted to take. Each meeting was a mix of elation, challenge, emotion and fun. The anticipation of where our next meeting would take me grew as the time approached.
It is difficult to explain in words how I feel after this series of meetings. To simply use words or phrases like elated, released, confident, stronger, having clarity on the path ahead are not enough. What is clear to me is that Hannah has enabled me to find the key I was looking for and release the contents of the box, the feelings of this achievement are unique. To do this after a few short months needed skills to build trust, openness and an understanding of me (not something that’s easy I can tell you!). Hannah’s approach has to be experienced and I would commend her to anyone looking to take a few moments of reflection to turn a light on the journey ahead.’
Chris | Entrepreneur, Horsham, West Sussex
“I would recommend with my whole heart letting Hannah help you know and love yourself more.”
‘Hannah helps me understand my core values and the importance of guiding my thoughts and behaviours towards respecting everything that matters to me. All my recent discoveries about myself create a positive shift in every aspect of my life. I highly value and respect Hannah’s incredible ability to make me think so much about myself. I would recommend with my whole heart letting Hannah help you know and love yourself more.’
Alex | Sheffield
“In the space of a few months I have a new job, have relocated to a new city, and most importantly I am able to spend more time with the people that I am closest to.”
‘I can’t emphasise enough the benefits that I have gained from my meetings with Hannah. I’ve always been aware of what is important in my life, but before I started seeing Hannah I was feeling quite unsettled and unsure of the direction in which my life was heading. I didn’t have one specific area that I wanted to focus on but I knew I was ready for change.
Hannah has helped me to articulate my thoughts and question what was holding me back. We worked together to identify goals and set achievable targets, which has equipped me to make significant changes in my life. Hannah provided the support and guidance to recognise and focus on my strengths, and the confidence to work towards my goals. In the space of a few months I have a new job, have relocated to a new city, and most importantly I am able to spend more time with the people that I am closest to. The best way of summing it up is that Hannah has, and is continuing to, help me achieve my true potential. I’m proud of my achievements but the way I see it is that this is just the start! I couldn’t be happier with the path my life has taken over the past few months, and for that I’m very thankful to Hannah!’
Clare, Leeds
“I would recommend everyone gives life coaching a try; I think at worst they would feel inspired and at best realise a life changing experience.”
‘After every session with Hannah, I feel so positive and energised. Over the past couple of months I have made discoveries about myself that have been both surprising and invaluable in helping me to start to make changes in my life. Hannah is so supportive and encourages me to push myself so that I really get the most out of each coaching session. I would recommend everyone gives life coaching a try; I think at worst they would feel inspired and at best realise a life changing experience.’
Hazel | Membership and Fundraising Coordinator, Sydney, Australia
“Hannah is supportive, helpful and positive in her coaching, full of creativity, love and possibilities.”
‘From the beginning I felt so connected and relaxed with Hannah. Hannah is supportive, helpful and positive in her coaching, full of creativity, love and possibilities. You don’t feel any pressure when you are in her coaching sessions. I felt it was so easy to be open minded, to share my thoughts and walk with her through my new ways of life. I would recommend everyone give themselves permission to have this amazing experience and bring more happiness into their life.’

“It’s fluid. It’s pure potential at work. And you get to learn about yourself… what is better than that..?”
Lynne | ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence Advocate), London
“Hannah is a warm and friendly person, and very easy to open up to. I cannot recommend her coaching highly enough.”
‘Hannah is a talented and passionate life coach. In my coaching session, she used a variety of techniques to help me to understand where I was in my life and where I wanted to be. I was so impressed with Hannah’s level of insight in just one session, it was as if she could see into my soul! Hannah is a warm and friendly person, and very easy to open up to. I cannot recommend her coaching highly enough.’

“My sessions were over the telephone and I appreciated Hannah’s flexibility and creativity, which means anybody can access coaching with her.”
‘I’ve worked with Hannah as my coach over the course of 6 months. Hannah has been a fantastic inspiration, bringing boundless amounts of energy and enthusiasm to every one of our sessions. My sessions were over the telephone and I appreciated Hannah’s flexibility and creativity, which means anybody can access coaching with her. I have thoroughly enjoyed having Hannah as my coach.’
Angela | Leeds
“Every session surprised me, and really got me thinking about things I’d not thought about before.”
‘Working with Hannah was a real treat. She is energetic, a careful listener and not afraid of asking challenging questions. Every session surprised me, and really got me thinking about things I’d not thought about before. I totally recommend having a chat with Hannah if you’re even the tiniest bit curious about coaching – she’s fantastic!’
Hannah | Edinburgh
“The zing I felt after our sessions lasted days and she worked with me to come up with ‘homework’ that was interesting and engaging, and not at all a chore.”
‘Hannah is an intuitive, caring, and fun coach. She challenged and pushed me, whilst also supporting and encouraging me. I can be quite off the wall and she was absolutely there with me; never put off by some of my more quirky comments, and this allowed me to fully express myself and not hold back, which meant I was able to fully get the benefit of her wise and compassionate coaching. The zing I felt after our sessions lasted days and she worked with me to come up with ‘homework’ that was interesting and engaging, and not at all a chore. I gained a huge amount from working with her; after a really big year of continuous change, I’ve become clearer on what direction I want to take my life and I had a great time doing it.’
S-AD | Coach, London
“I have to say that even though some of the sessions were emotional for me, they were always really fun too – which is quite an achievement having that mix in the coaching space!”
‘I thoroughly enjoyed the coaching I had with Hannah. She has such a creative style and lots of interesting and useful tools she gently brings into the coaching where she feels these might be of benefit. Hannah also has a unique and powerful way of working with the body and physical space. I have to say that even though some of the sessions were emotional for me, they were always really fun too – which is quite an achievement having that mix in the coaching space!
I felt very safe and supported, and my sessions gave me much to go away and think about. It was interesting because actually I would find a week or so after the sessions some significant things had shifted for me – coaching really does continue working even after the sessions have finished.’
Jane | Coach, London
Workshop feedback…
“It felt important to flag the signs of chronic stress for people to watch for it.”
I really enjoyed the session and thought it was a good reflection of the company to run it. Especially as the workshop didn’t just isolate stress in the workplace but appreciated how big a part of our lives work is and how it can run over into our personal lives and vice versa. It felt important to flag the signs of chronic stress for people to watch for it.

“I found the session thought-provoking and energising. It was great to share experience with, and draw support from, other CEOs who face very similar challenges in their roles.”

“What Hannah does so well, is to gently prompt those with weighty responsibilities to accept that they can benefit from support on a very personal level, which is then so readily forthcoming from one’s peers.”
Hannah of Bird, ran an exceptionally stimulating seminar. She was an engaging and emotive facilitator, ably encouraging the group to open up with the confidence of a candid, open and yet confidential experiential exchange. What Hannah does so well, is to gently prompt those with weighty responsibilities to accept that they can benefit from support on a very personal level, which is then so readily forthcoming from one’s peers.

“The hour flew by!”
Only reason for it not being a 10 was because it would have been great to have had longer! The hour flew by, but it was great to have some actual exercises to take away.

Retreat feedback…
“I used some of the techniques we explored over the weekend and I feel so much more resilient and calm.”
Just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for organising and facilitating such an incredible retreat. This morning could have been very stressful at work but I used some of the techniques we explored over the weekend and I feel so much more resilient and calm. I feel more grounded, connected, loved and feminine than ever before.
