“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate”
What do my clients say about me?
“I have never done any sort of career coaching before, so this was all completely new to me. I could not recommend Debra more; it was like I was talking to a friend I’d known for years.
I had left my job and was trying to work out what exactly I wanted to do, Debra helped me to identify my strengths and weaknesses through incredibly intelligent questioning and coaching that challenged me to look at how I approached situations, each session I felt more confident. She set me tasks to complete between each session, as simple as setting short to long term goals, which I found almost therapeutic.
Thanks to Debra I was confident applying and interviewing for jobs and I am now in a role completely different to what I’ve done before and I am loving it, thank you Debra.”

Debra is an amazing coach and gave me the tools and confidence to help me with public speaking and recording radio podcasts for our health and lifestyle hub. She has the ability to critique in such a positive and fun way that it only makes you want to improve yourself. The lessons I learnt will stay with me for life and I highly recommended Debra for both 1:1 and group sessions.
Emma Gould, HR Consultant, Formerly Operations Manager VavistaWellness
I was very pleased to find Debra locally and that she had availability to support me on an acute situation over a short 4 week period, with a specific goal/objective in mind. Having successfully established the grounds for a working relationship in the initial discovery session and talked over Debra's approach and my requirements, we agreed on the coaching contract such that both parties were fully aware of wants and needs.
Over the 4 week period Debra provided invaluable support and advice in a blended coaching and mentoring capacity given the topic to address and my overall objective(s). Debra demonstrated great insight and curiosity, provided challenge and accountability , and presented advice and guidance given her wide experience and the mentoring request.
Very personably and positive which is a great asset but not afraid to pose a challenge which we all need when developing and learning...and aiming for behavioural change.
I will be looking to engage further in support of my Personal Leadership Development plan and MA Leadership progression.. Thanks Debra.

Useful, practical and insightful training from Debra - and we enjoyed it
Mark Craig (FCG) Director at VISTRA
Debra helped me work through a very negative work situation in a positive way. Debra is easy to talk to and provided valuable insights and perspective. Her knowledge, expertise and inspirational and supportive style is highly recommended.
Sue Nolan; Recycling Advocate WEEE & Batteries
We engaged Debra to help our Team Leaders expand their skills and knowledge in relation to coaching staff. We already use coaching so we challenged her to make it a bit different and she rose to the challenge. Debra worked with us to provide bespoke training that incorporated our ideas with those of her own and delivered interactive training sessions to small groups, returning for individual one to one sessions as a follow on activity to ensure the knowledge transfer was embedded. I would highly recommend Debra.

I really enjoyed working with Debra, she was able to create training for my team that was efficient and tailor made. Debra took the time to truly understand my needs as a manager and those of my team, which made the training programme she put together exactly what I required. Finding someone as invested in your aims as you are is rare, and that is what makes Debra’s training that much better. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
