Charmaine Pollard Coaching in London

Testimonials

"Thank you so much for the wonderful life coaching workshop. It worked wonders and after the workshop I picked up that phone and made those uncomfortable phone calls with confidence. It is amazing how in just 4 hrs or so the workshop lasted, it gave me such boost in confidence and increased wellbeing at a difficult time in my life.
And of course by making me feel better about dealing with unpleasant chores/issues and taking action promptly, it has brought feelings of being uplifted and relieved. And even though I don't discuss my issues with my daughter, she can pick up on my increased wellbeing and confidence and strength and she ends up with her own strength/confidence/wellbeing boosted too!
I do realise that this workshop is very important and helpful. I do realise that isolation has a lot to do with feeling down and overwhelmed. Meeting up with you and the other lovely people last week really had a great and positive impact on me.
A big thank you to you for making this possible".

"Overall impact of coaching with Charmaine has been to help me focus my positivity towards setting goals, which empowered me to overcome self doubt, acknowledging the validity of my feelings and specifically tackling areas I felt unconfident about.
I now feel my life is beginning to change and the future holds many exciting opportunities for personal growth and achievement.
I also realise through the coaching process that faltering steps are not failures, but preliminaries to major strides ahead".

"Having life coach sessions with Charmaine has made me realise that it is best to think positively and realistically to improve my personal growth and maximise my opportunities.
It helped me identify what aspects of my life needed to be tackled and those that needn’t to be worried about.
I now understand the importance of setting myself achievable goals to feel empowered, boost my confidence and feel in control.
I managed to clarify what my internal resources were and how to use them best to improve my career development.
Before starting the life coach sessions, I had stated that a successful measure of the sessions would be that, at the end, I apply for a job I would never dare apply for: not only did I apply for that job, but I got it!
I highly recommend life coaching with Charmaine to those who get a sense of feeling stuck but are unsure about where to start to improve their life."

"In my opinion Charmaine is an absolutely fantastic coach as I believe I had some challenging goals for myself and she has really made a difference to me achieving these. Charmaine really helped me to identify what it was I wanted to achieve and how and when I would do this. This has been incredibly valuable as it has helped me to break things down and to develop skills to help myself.I found Charmaine to be extremely supportive at all times and very motivational. She has particularly helped me to challenge a number of limiting beliefs that were holding me back and helped me learn a lot about myself so that I could move forward and take action. It is not an exaggeration to say that working with Charmaine has been a life changing experience which I can’t thank her enough for".

"I found the coaching beneficial by allowing me to look at myself and I was able to analyse things that hindered my well being and subsequently analyse them to a finite level. Having Charmaine to coach me, meant that I could explore myself and come up with possible actions in order to deal positively with areas of my life that I was not satisfied with".

"I want to thank you for the tips on eliminating stress and life coaching I gained on the Say NO to STRESS - Coaching workshop. I have already put some of them into practice. The little stress measuring card is a great monitor and motivator to breathe and relax.
Since the workshop last week, I have been for an overdue blood test, and had my blood pressure checked. It was very high, which is a sign that I need to change my lifestyle and try to eliminate stress as much as possible.
On a positive note I have been de-cluttering and put up the Xmas tree. I have made plans to care for two lovely dogs over Xmas which will be a great help to friends who are travelling home to see their parents.
I have also set a plan for next year and applied for a writer's course. I may not be accepted but at least I have tried. The competition is fierce, but I am proud of my self that I have at least taken the first step and applied.
I have also been looking up orphanages overseas where I could volunteer next year. There is a lot of need out there and since my children are grown there is no need to be living the life I have been for the last twenty years.
It is time to move on, and your workshops have helped me to do this.
Thank you so much".

"I would describe the say NO to STRESS- Coaching workshop as Life Saving; I came today very stressed and shaky. I mostly enjoyed the guided imagery, goal setting /action plans and the ten second stress card. I am now more optimistic and clearer about my future. I always leave Charmaine’s workshops feeling 100 % more able".

I liked the short guided imagery I received at the relaxation workshop, it got me to another place and transformed my state of mind quite magically and so quickly, to one of peace.
Problems troubling my mind went from foreground to background and their importance diminished.
Therefore, so much easier to handle and resolve after relaxation took place. Great Stuff.

"The Rainbow" you delivered at the relaxation workshop was very powerful and I totally relaxed.
I found it soothing and it promoted a sense of worry free well being.
