“Elizabeth’s coaching has supported me calmly yet robustly through the development of my writing project. Over the months of coaching, my project finally became real - a genuine finished product, rather than the stalled work in progress it had been for so long… Now I can call myself a writer and it feels fabulous!” 
Mary McNeil / Web Writer / Kendal, Cumbria

“I loved being coached by Lizzie. I was struggling with an issue around writing… and Lizzie was entirely practical, insightful and wise. She helped me to see that what I wanted to do was entirely possible and I was able to get things moving after having been a bit stuck for quite a while. I particularly valued her own experience with writing. She never used this unless completely relevant to me in my situation. Last but by no means least , I appreciated Lizzie's wicked sense of fun.”
Anne Murray / Educator / London & Cambridge

"Elizabeth was able to hold a safe space for me to explore my feelings without judgement and with good humour. Her ability to empathise and listen at a deep level sets her apart from other coaches and makes her particularly suitable for handling tender topics that need extra care." 
Dr Suzanne Doyle-Morris / Director of Doyle Morris / Cambridge & London

"I was coached by Elizabeth Gates and found her to be extremely empathetic and with a deep understanding of the human psyche, born, I expect, from her own personal experience… Elizabeth helped me to see a clear way forward”
Olivia Woods / Recruitment Consultant / London
