Mel is an absolute firecracker as a coach: truly inspiring, full of enthusiasm and asks the hard questions with kindness and support. After my sessions with Mel I've come away feeling so good about myself (that's the Mel energy), but I've also unearthed things about myself that I had an inkling were there but couldn't quite pinpoint or articulate. More on this journey to come, and I can't wait to see where it takes me!

Mel’s coaching is truly life changing. I not only managed to land my dream job as an Art Director in Amsterdam for Tommy Hilfiger but scored an amazing relocation package. Being able to talk about my values, purpose and mission during my interviews made a real difference to sealing the deal. If you are on the fence about coaching I urge you to do it! I have never had more job offers or more confidence. Mel is incredible - she not only helped me get my dream job but she has unlocked my potential - something which has set me up for life. Thank you to you - I really think the work we have done so far is life-changing!

I met Melanie when she delivered our 2 Day Mental Health First Aid training. I was so impressed by her style & teaching method that I booked a workshop session for my workplace... Melanie's workshop went down so well that we invited her back to deliver another workshop a year later.

Mel was very personable and spoke with real passion and experience
MARK WALKER HEAD OF ASSETS | NETWORK RAIL
Melanie not only knows and understands her role, she intuitively appreciates the needs of those who seek her help. This is, I believe, founded on a combination of her strong emotional intelligence and an outcomes focused approach. She has been one of the most popular Careers Coaches I have worked alongside, which reflects her very open and friendly, but always professional approach.

Melanie expertly delivered and facilitated a two-day Online Mental Health Training course to a group of volunteer 'Wellbeing Champions' (including me) in our company – held under ‘virtual’ training conditions because of the pandemic. The aim of the course was to train us in recognising the broad spectrum of mental health issues, and in understanding how to respond to and help anyone who might come to us for assistance/guidance. Much of the subject matter was ‘dark’, and even personally challenging – covering issues that many of us had experienced ourselves. However, Melanie showed great sensitivity, empathy and professionalism, and a very calm manner, in delivering and facilitating the course – backed by what was clearly in-depth knowledge and understanding of all the topics we covered. Courses of this kind need very talented individuals with an exceptional combination of skills to deliver them effectively. I would not hesitate to recommend Melanie to other companies who are considering running similar training courses for their employees.

Mel was arguably one of the best things that happened to me last year. I had just moved to the UK and found myself facing a lot of professional challenges regarding self-promotion, speculative approaches, interviews, etc. With a well-planned, straightforward programme, Mel made me rediscover my strengths and taught me how to adapt them to my new reality. Thanks to her strategies, I was able to thrive and secure a leading role at a huge multinational company
