Brian is very easy to talk to, the sessions were very enjoyable and I got so much out of them. Brian will help you discover you values so you can match them to your ideal role/working set up and how to develop a plan so you can actually carry things forward. I highly recommend to anyone who is feeling stuck or a bit lost. Thanks so much, Brian! More...

Lovely working with Brian. He is direct and concise. Brian knew exactly what potential employers would be asking, it was almost as if he had spoke to the recruiting manager! In addition to this Brian helped me overcome my pre jittery interview nerves! I would definitely recommend Brian to everyone seeking a first class service. More...

Brian is an exceptional coach. He was full of tips and resources that helped me both with self-discovery and goal setting, ensuring my aims reflected my truth.
Most importantly he enabled me to turn my aspirations into actions that are now paving the way of my new journey; the results of which I’m already enjoying in terms of confidence growth, increased creativity and, just simply, more joy!
I can’t thank and recommend him enough!

I would honestly recommend Brian to anyone. He is an enthusiastic, personable coach who genuinely has a passion for supporting others.
Brian helped support me through an ongoing career change. His four step process was incredibly helpful to me. It gave a real insight into myself, my preferences, my beliefs and ultimately supported me in setting goals and helping me find solutions that I would not be able to do by myself. He was able not only to lend me advice as well as help me find my own answers. But he was also able to put me in contact with like minded people who I believe will support my endeavours. Working with the Brian was a definite investment that I believe will pay dividends in the months and years to come.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Brian, he totally brought a different prospective to my thinking (long overdue) and really supported me through the process of changing my mindset and how to move my career in a different direction.
Brian also suggested lots of techniques and tools to help me with refocussing my work life, as well as identifying my values and being proud of who I am and what I have achieved.

I had never thought about a career in the past- they were just jobs to me. However at the age of 36 I had decided that perhaps I had been holding myself back from finding a job or indeed a career, worthwhile. I have worked with Brian for 4 weeks and in those sessions we worked through the DISC Profile as well as the Saboteur Assessment- these gave me a better understanding of what my saboteurs are, and how they have a hand in stopping me to reach my ideal career. I have begun to value my strengths and harness them to help me move forward in life and career. I am still on this journey with Brian, but I can see a light at the end of this tunnel, and I look forward to exploring more ways to reach my full potential. More...

Lindsay Fraser Brown
Brian is such a pleasure to work with! He is extremely approachable, highly perceptive, and hugely non-judgemental. He has a vast toolkit that he employs with great skill.
In the 6 weeks that I have worked with Brian, I have experienced a significant amount of internal growth and self-awareness, which is certainly not what I expected at the age of 53! I have been able to rediscover my core values, recognise my mind-set and realise that it can be changed for the better. I am using my new skills and self-knowledge to hopefully make the future a much brighter place than it would otherwise have been!
I would therefore highly recommend Brian to everyone, regardless of age and career stage.

Leon Mepham
Brian was excellent from the start, very personable and interested in what I was about. He used his contacts to refer me to people who may have been of interest in my path to changing my career. I was making a huge jump in my career and Brian helped add a little calm to what can be a daunting prospect. Brian was the second coach I spoke to and by far the better out of the two and by far the cheaper. Highly recommend. More...

Brian supported me immensely when I had hit a wall with my career and wasn't sure what to do or how to deal with it. By the end of my sessions I could see a light at the end of the tunnel and formed a much more structured and positive plan.
Brian also helped me overcome some work based anxiety's which gave me my confidence back. Brian comes highly recommended from me and I will continue to work with him as and when needed.

Many thanks for your review Carrie. It was great to work with you, especially as at the end of the sessions you had secured a new job building on the skills you have. I look forward to hearing about your success in the future.
Catherine Hester
I found the free Discovery Session with Brian to be hugely valuable - his calm, warm, intuitive approach was very effective at helping me to begin to unpack all the thoughts and questions in my head. Even in this one session, I was able to start identifying and owning key strengths that I have, both personally and professionally. Thank you, Brian. More...
Ella Seal
Working with Brian really helped me to become more self-aware and understand what is important to me as an individual. He helped guide me with his year plan and some of his tips, prompted me to reframe my thinking and become more of a confident person. He was always professional and the meetings always felt like an open and honest environment. It has been a great initial push for me to independently achieve my goals over the coming months and years. More...

Miria Papasofroniou
Brian is very kind, warm with a positive orientation, and very pleasant to work with. Brian from the discovery sessions has identified and acknowledge my strengths and skills which made me feel empowered but also confident. He took the time to give me a better understanding how the coaching sessions would be like and what to expect. At the beginning of our sessions, I was feeling very chaotic about what decisions to make in relation to my career progression. Through our 4 sessions, I have managed to gain not only clarity in relation to the transition of my career but also have made decisions, plans, and goals for my career progression and where I am going. Through our sessions, I was reminded about my values, my life purpose, my personality, and the small steps that I need to take to achieve the bigger goals. Not only I benefited from the decision-making for my career direction but also I gained a lot on a personal level. Thank you, Brian, it was a pleasure to work with you! More...

His support and intuitive guidance is so helpful, the personality test also was very accurate and helps me understand what kind of jobs might be better suited to me. I highly recommend Brian, you won't be disappointed!

I was a bit nervous about going through a career coaching process, as it’s something I’ve never done before. Brian creates a friendly, non judgemental and no pressure environment which puts you at ease straight away. Brian really gets to the root of the problems using various techniques and asking challenging questions to really get to you thinking! I’ve found the sessions with Brian really useful and has helped me improve my self confidence on a professional level. I would recommend Brian to anyone who is considering hiring a career coach for whatever reason. More...

Amy Perkins
Just in the first free 'discovery' session Brian has helped me to make real progress, so much so that this was all I needed to be able to make my decision about my future. Despite no longer requiring coaching and not continuing onto the paid sessions Brian has still been helpful and supportive! even offering to help if I ever wanted to just run an idea past him! I am almost slightly sad that i'm not going to spend more time with Brian as my first impression of him is as a fantastic coach who I truly did feel a good professional connection with! But who knows what the future will hold for me, I may need coaching services yet! and in that event, I know the first person I'll call on is Brian!! his service is excellent and he put's in 100% even in the first free session, absolutely no catches!
