Review of Emma Steenson

Emma put me at ease straight away. The chemistry was there which helped, and we seemed to get on well. But also, Emma has an open, calm and authentic style which helped me to show these qualities too.

Because of this, I felt the conversations were very honest and as a result I was able to unpick things that in most other environments I would not have been comfortable with. There was never any judgement given which further helped to put me at ease and facilitate some really in-depth discussions about my feelings, past experiences and where I want to be in the future.

I really appreciated the mix of asking questions to get me to come up with the answers PLUS the provision of some recommendations e.g books, speakers or practical tools to try. The balance was perfect for me as someone who like tangible actions after the sessions. One of which – the most helpful of all perhaps, was the time to reflect on the discussion, create next steps OR just to ‘feel my feelings’.

I was worried that coaching online rather than in person would be a barrier to establishing a relationship with Emma and being able to talk comfortably and openly. This was not the case at all – I think credit to fact that Emma came across as approachable, authentic and relaxed throughout.
