Coaching feedback
While coaching conversations are of course confidential, some students have given us permission to share their feedback on the process. Here are some examples.
I went into the coaching journey with an open heart and open mind. I was desperate to find a solution for my anxiety and depression, but just of all, I wanted to become the best version of myself and to learn to show up for myself.
At the end of this 10-week journey, I can confidently say that I an happy with the person that I am becoming. Journaling and meditation have taught me the importance of listening to my own thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental way, and how to express myself better to myself and others. I have learnt that in order for me to be able to function at my best in all facets of my life, I need to be okay first. I am confident that I have love and light inside of me, and that I can share that with the people I love. I'm learning to love myself. For the first time in my life, I'm learning to love me.
I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Patrick. His patience, openness and understanding made all of this possible.

I am feeling good and have been for a while now, that those challenges aren't as daunting as they were at that point. I am more mindful and it feels good.
I just wanted to thank you for the sessions we had, for listening without judgement when I was in denial about being anxious to when I finally owned up and took my prescription. Thank you so much for the skills you've imparted in our sessions. I really appreciate how you helped me.

These sessions were immensely helpful - especially for that season of my life. I learnt so much about myself from our interactions, my career decisions, communication mechanisms, thought processes too. You're a phenomenal coach and I am much obliged to you.

Our sessions have been absolutely amazing and have such a great impact on me. I haven't felt so light and genuinely happy in a very long time. Thank you so much for everything. I will forever be grateful for our sessions. You are definitely one of my biggest blessings of the year. I can't stop thanking God for you. I pray you continue doing the same for others and take care of yourself too.

Hey Pat, I just wanted to wish you a very happy birthday; in the past year we’ve talked, you genuinely helped me to change my mindset on holistic practices for improving my mental health, from learning to be more empathetic to myself, learning to just stop everything and worry about the here and now. Without being too hyperbolic, you’re one of the reasons I’m still here today, and I cannot emphasise how thankful I am for that. While I am not out of the woods in my journey to get to a healthy state mentally, you gave me the skills to at least make that journey less scary. I hope that you have many more years of happiness, success in all spheres of your life, as well as that you help many other lives in the way you did mine.
