Mary’s supervision balances being supportive with really challenging me and my thinking.
She makes me think things through for myself, only offering ideas when I’m really stuck.

Mary delivered training to Resident Associations in Haringey.
She was excellent at drawing the group together, fun but purposeful learning, pulling together a set of ground rules for the day and helping them to look at their own skills and personality type.

I have worked with Mary over the last 7 years across a diverse range of customer sectors. Mary is totally professional, reliable and engaging; she is simply effortless to deal with owing to her natural verve for life and her interest in all things learning (and beyond).
Mary is dedicated to CPD in a way that can be more challenging for sole proprietors and I completely admire her for this.

Mary is an inspirational trainer, I was impressed with Mary for her professional yet personable approach, her ability to move the training forward and keep the group moving through the learning at a pace whilst meeting the learning objectives and her in depth knowledge of the subject area.

Mary did not give me the answers to problems, but prompted me to think of various options, broaden my horizons and to explore through different thought processes.
Never having experienced the coaching technique before, I most definitely benefitted from the sessions.

Mary is a highly skilled facilitator, a brilliant listener and a consummate professional, as well as being approachable and friendly.
She regularly addresses her own professional and personal development and this keeps her fresh and engaged in her practice. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Thank you for a brilliant resilience workshop. Really useful looking at different strategies and listening to other carers.
Especially relevant, well presented with good content and nice mix of activities, interaction and information. Highly recommended! Thank you.

What I found most helpful was having a coach who did not sit in judgement against you, was there to listen, share your achievements and support you when things were not going that well.
