Therapy Reviews for Career Coaching

My experience with Amanda has been nothing short of transformational. I was completely stuck, down in the dumps about my career and not sure how to move forward. Amanda was absolutely brilliant in her approach and always managed to ask just the right questions. The sessions were testing, enlightening, enjoyable, emotional but most of all empowering. Amanda has helped me understand myself, step back and look at the facts around me and increased my confidence hugely. After the first few sessions I had already managed to hand in my notice, put a plan in place for the future and feel excited for what tomorrow would bring. Amanda was always good at reminding me that “I can do this without you” when I would thank her for for help, the truth is, I couldn’t have done it without her! I feel I now have a toolbox to approach any problem life can throw up. I would whole heartedly recommend Amanda and KlearMinds to anyone and especially to those who feel like they are stuck and know they need a change, but are not sure how to make it.

Jess has been outstanding. As a senior executive it has been great to talk through different aspects with her in a constructive, considered, private and client led way. Quickly establishing trust and confidence, Jess was able to shape discussions, providing helping clarity and insight to thought processes and decisions, both personal and professional. I highly recommend her professionalism and ability to deliver meaningful results.

​​Karen has helped me turn my life around. From a complete relationship knot and career uncertainty, Karen unlocked my thoughts and guided me through making decisions about my future. Even though I had open conversations with friends, it was Karen’s expertise and guidance that really made me see clearly the path ahead. She prepared me for what to expect and walked through what happened at each turn. I will be forever grateful for what Karen did for me and can recommend her without hesitation.

I have seen Maggie for a short batch of sessions, on 4 occasions, over a period of several years. She has provided me with invaluable support through many problems I’ve needed help with, from post-natal depression and general mental health issues, to career decisions I needed an objective view on, to more recently, work/life balance conundrums and parenting struggles I’ve been facing. Without fail, each time, Maggie has been able to very quickly distil the crux of what’s likely to be at the root of the issue, and given me highly insightful and actionable advice that I can take and use, even long past attending one to one sessions.

Maggie has a great nature and manages to be highly professional while also being very sensitive to what your emotional needs might be at that time. Maggie, and the services she provides, have been absolutely transformational for me in coming to terms with childhood trauma and understanding its impact on my present, while also not allowing it to dictate my future. I cannot recommend Maggie highly enough.

Working with Judy Harrison has been a transformative, rewarding and life changing experience. As a new mother, juggling a number of challenges personally, with my career and family – Judy provided invaluable support and tools to help untangle the weeds and provide clarity and hope amidst overwhelm and uncertainty. Judy is kind, compassionate, wise and vastly experienced and I’m so grateful I decided to reach out to her and that I was so expertly guided and supported by Judy throughout.

I came to Judy when I found myself with increasing anxiety, problems with sleeping and lack of appetite. I felt like my head was a muddle of negative thoughts and while this hadn’t been triggered by one particular event, I knew that it was being antagonised by workplace stress and conflict, as well as a lifelong lack of self-confidence. I immediately connected with Judy who listened patiently. I knew I wanted to understand why I think like this, but ultimately I wanted to move forward with practical techniques to help me cope better. Judy helped me firstly understand my anxiety, she also made me realise that I wasn’t alone in the way I think. We recognised my triggers and my responses to situations, but also talked through some previous experiences which had shaped my mindset. We developed techniques to help me cope better, rebuilt my confidence and I can honestly say I have felt like a different person ever since. If like me, you are reading these reviews and recognise your own thoughts and feelings, go ahead and start a course of therapy, I couldn’t recommend Judy more highly.

I am really happy to leave a review in respect of Judy’s excellent stewardship of a mediation process between myself and a psychotherapist with whom I had a matter to resolve. Judy is warm and insightful and helped me (and I believe the other party) to identify the areas of concern and express them clearly in a safe and supportive environment.

I had no prior experience nor expectation of the process but I can honestly say that the process was excellent, informative and very beneficial. I would strongly recommend seeking Judy’s help when parties (be it professional or personal) are unable to resolve their issues.

When I started working with Judy I was having a difficult time both at work and in my personal life. There were a number of issues I was facing specifically around relationships with people in my life and my confidence. Working with Judy helped me to understand these relationships and importantly how to change them for the better.

Judy gave me invaluable help and advice, and shared a number of tools that will always stay with me and help me deal with difficult situations in the future. I am now in such a good place and feel confident to be able to deal with the pressures of life on my own. Judy was so supportive and non-judgmental, I know I would ever have been able to achieve any of these changes without her help. Thank you much.

I had never thought I was someone who would need counselling or therapy, as I had always been very strong. However when my career wasn’t going quite as I had planned it, I found I was becoming very negative and mentally spiralling out of control – in fact turning myself into a victim.

Maggie’s structured, logical, evidence based approach to my mental state was something I could easily understand and work with. It meant that I was very quickly (in about 5 sessions) back to having control over my life and feeling so much more positive and happy about everything.

Now I realise that sometimes we need a little help. Maggie was outstanding at providing me with what I needed, not as a “quick fix” but by giving me the tools to use whenever I may need them in the future. Thank you Maggie, I am so very grateful to you.

This Financial Analyst and working mother had to deal with redundancy, a difficult new job, relationship challenges, child rearing and her own history of being unsupported and bullied in the past. Here’s what she says:

I started to see Maggie for ways to help me deal with old patterns of thoughts which lead to increased levels of stress and low confidence. She really helped me understand the roots of my thinking, how things had changed through time and ways in which I could shape my thoughts differently and break free of my old patterns. As a result, my stress levels have vastly improved and I have a very different outlook on life. I have also been able to break away from old patterns of thoughts which has been very positive in helping me deal with new situations. Maggie has a great ability to be empathetic. She is a great listener and can tailor therapy sessions to your needs and how you can best work through your sessions.
