Testimonials
What my clients say
"Working with Lorraine has increased my confidence as a leader and helped me better understand how the way I think, impacts my confidence – and that I can control it. The sessions helped me learn about how my style of thinking could be altered in a way that would affect my behaviour. Our coaching sessions also helped me understand my skills set more deeply that I hadn’t fully appreciated, as an asset to myself and my team. Lorraine made me feel at ease from the start, she is very supportive and always kept in touch to see how I was progressing, which was really appreciated."
Fiona ParryFinance Manager, GLI, UK Gaming.
"Lorraine gave me invaluable support, tools and sound advice at a crucial time in my career. We worked at strengthening public speaking, presentation skills as well as developing negotiation skills. Lorraine has a personable approach and was able to help me ask myself some pertinent questions. She was a fabulous sounding board and an inspirational mentor and I’m grateful for her support and encouragement.”
Gwenno AngharadPartnerships Director.

Amy SumnerPR & Marketing Professional
"Our sessions enabled me to look at my practice, personal achievements and goal focussed forward planning. We always met with a specific agenda which facilitated me to attend to details that I had not explored, her acuity on these matters was refreshing and empowered me in my professional development. Lorraine is not only very knowledgeable and skilful but also has a rare ability to connect with people from a range of backgrounds.”

Clinical PsychologisTWishes to remain anonymous.
"Working with a business psychologist has been very beneficial for our business. As small business owners, we didn't realise how much understanding personality traits and work styles could improve our performance.
We have become more aware of how to effectively interact with one another, and discovered new strengths and areas for development.
By working with Lorraine, we have cultivated a more confident and productive work environment, ultimately contributing to the business's success. "

MY SERVICES
1:1
Coaching
An effective coach is trained to help you build self-awareness and notice when your thoughts and behaviours are holding you back. As your coach, I will challenge your thinking and show you how to be less controlled by negativity and bias. The results can be transformative, giving you clarity and newfound confidence, the outcome of which, is a clear sense of direction.
Executive Team & Board Coaching
A high performing team is a collective of people, developing an identity at group level. Trust between group members is central to high performance, and I use coaching techniques to build that trust effectively.
Leadership
