What my clients say about our work together:

“I really value working with Neil. He is warm and welcoming, patient and attentive. He listens deeply to what I am saying and helps me to make sense of inner conflict and confusion. I gain clarity and lightness of heart when I work with him. He is a skilful coach. Recommended”. 

Ben P., Yoga Teacher, Father of Four

“To have someone so committed to supporting his clients, as Neil clearly is, was both a new experience and a delight for me. Neil provides a deep, well-held space, one in which I could explore my issues in a way that gave me a clear, objective view of my challenges and allowed me to create alternative ideas and ways of working. I highly recommend Neil if you're looking to change things in your life for the better”.

Rod B., Life Coach and Healing The Shadow Practitioner

“I went to see Neil as I was about to make a big transition in my life by asking my Partner if she wanted to get married - Neil helped me navigate through some questions and fears that I had regarding this new venture in my life with a great deal of care and professionalism”.

Mike M., Musician 

“I found Neil's coaching to be very gentle and thought provoking, helping me to recognise the answers within myself. Neil listens intently and reflects back little nuggets that are easy for me to overlook. From these nuggets, new insights opened up for me. Great stuff!”

Dan K., Small Business Owner

“I was in need of some direction in my life as everything felt like it was off balance. I was a little bit apprehensive from the start as I didn’t know what to expect, but Neil very quickly put me at ease. I found him very easy to talk to because he was completely non-judgemental, but he didn’t just agree with everything I said either, just to make me feel better. He helped me understand some of the barriers I had put in front of myself and unravel some thought processes. I felt I needed some clarity on a few issues I was facing but I didn’t know how to break them down and big ideas felt daunting. Now, I am feeling much more positive and in control of the direction I’m heading. I thank Neil for setting me on a path. I look forward to using Neil again in the future. The 6 sessions I had have helped me in all areas of my life so far. I would highly recommend him Neil.” 

Chavela M., Salon Owner 

“Neil listens extremely attentively, mirroring back to me my exact words without re-interpretation - a real gift, in my opinion - which makes me feel safe and willing to open up. I trust Neil completely. He has superb recall and ability to summarise not just each few minutes of discussion but entire sessions, both in the moment and weeks later. He offered me a simple yet highly effective ‘body practice’ to help me consult my body each time I want to make a conscious choice. Then he gently encouraged me to practise this during our session together so that I have a visceral experience of it which I have not forgotten; one which returns for me every time I use it. Talking with Neil on Skype does not detract in any way, for me, the sense of connection and importance I feel in Neil’s presence. Thank you Neil.”

Richard, Isle of Wight

“It has been such pleasure to have weekly life coaching with Neil. I have loved the space to be able to explore my mind and life with him. Neil has the great ability of holding a calm wide open space in which we can explore issues and ideas. He is gentle and sensitive yet firm and strong.  You feel like you are held yet have the space to be open to any possibility of thought or feeling. It has been wonderful to have someone with such great insights and ability to steer you forward. We worked together on zoom which was my first experience of a digital one to one coach, I was unsure if I would feel as good as a real life encounter yet I found the experience surprisingly intimate and “real”. I highly recommend Neil to help untangle and boost one’s self for a brighter future. He is someone I look forward to seeing and I highly recommend.”

Rose P., Artist

“Neil’s life coaching sessions have been really helpful in guiding me to make some life changing decisions that I knew in my heart should have been made a long time ago. His questioning and observations were really useful in finding where my passions lie and what makes me tick. Neil is a proper listener and gives you time and space to really get down to what really matters to you. You feel heard. His manner is calm and approachable with no judgement at all. You feel like he’s guiding you back to your authentic self.”

Gemma S., Teacher

“I really enjoyed Neil’s Embodied Self-coaching workshop.  He brought care and spaciousness to the day that was supportive and has great passion for this work. It was wonderful to take time to connect to the body’s wisdom in a such a clear way.  The exercises are very simple, yet give helpful feedback to personal issues or questions and can be a form of self-support and self-enquiry after the workshop.  With the added bonus of being in the lovely room at the bottom of Neil’s garden, the day felt like a mini-retreat in the middle of Frome.”

Caroline, workshop participant

“I cannot recommend Neil highly enough. It is clear through his style that he has lots of skills and experience, but he really does open the space to draw out your own skills- the most empowering kind of support you can receive. Neil offers a very safe space to explore sometimes uncomfortable things, supporting you to map out a way forward with gentle accountability. He’s truly a person centered coach. No agenda, just authentic support. Don’t hesitate to book in with Neil.”

Katherine, Doula

Neil helped me work through a confusing time in my life. I felt overwhelmed at life and completely lost. Being a mother, I had lost my inner self and Neil helped me to regain strength again by talking through my emotions. This enabled me to gain clarity of my life again and everything became much less overwhelming. I couldn’t believe how quickly Neil was able to help me to move forward but his calming approach was amazing to be around. He made me feel at ease very quickly and “not silly” for feeling all of my emotions. He grounded me and helped me to realise again my inner passions. Thank you Neil for everything and for changing my life in such a short space of time. I have found myself again and am confident in what I want.

Emily

At a time when I was in a very challenging place and on a quest to find support and help locally, I kept on seeing Neil’s cards as I walked around Frome. After seeing these repeatedly, I thought I should at least give it a go! And boy, am I so grateful I did- after my free introductory session, I came away feeling understood and more confident to make the changes in my life that I was seeking. I booked 6 sessions and, cutting an incredible story short, the experiential process that I then went through equipped me with the emotional resilience skills, self-understanding and self-confidence to turn so much around in my life in such a positive way on so many levels. I cannot recommend highly enough Neil’s person centred and individually tailored approach. The sessions have been one of the most valuable things I have chosen to do in my life. Thank you!

James, Musician

It’s hard to put in to words how much Neil has helped me. I saw him regularly for a year and a half, and his wisdom along with the practical approaches he offered helped me with my personal boundaries in all areas of my life. He’s helped me change the dialogue of that inner voice to be kinder to myself. My favourite sessions were when we were organic and just chatted about anything and everything. I will miss him; however, I have no doubt that I will be back.
