Monthly Coaching Support

Coaching has been a transformative experience for me, both personally and professionally. Seeking to declutter my thoughts and focus my attention, I have been enriched with valuable insights during our sessions. Reviewing our notes between sessions, I've realised the significant progress I've made—it has exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly endorse coaching as an essential personal investment for my well-being and development. Thanks to coaching, I am now confident in articulating the mission of my foundation when discussing potential funders.

Bethany's coaching expertise is commendable. Her skilful approach allowed me to clear my thoughts of the micro and focus on the macro. Bethany is patient and has a box of tricks to guide me beyond the conversation. Following coaching with Bethany, I feel reassured that I am achieving the goals I set for myself and for others. My biggest takeaway is that I now feel more confident in my role as founder and director of my foundation. Through practical tips and strategies, I've learned to find a balance between my busy career and personal life.

Bethany's character and coaching methods make you stop and think about what you're actually achieving. People doing good in the world often neglect to reflect on the work they're doing, but everyone can benefit from having a coach at some point on the journey.

I sought coaching because I was in need of digging myself out of a hole. Bethany guided me out of the depths of darkness and confusion in my job. This allowed me to step aside from my feelings and state of being overwhelmed to address pressing issues. Bethany did a great job making me feel comfortable with sharing issues and feelings about the work that I was doing. She worked to make sure that I felt validated in what was concerning me.

Bethany supported me during sessions by allowing me to dump all my thoughts and concerns into a pile and then very carefully prioritise and make them more manageable to work on. Bethany helped me consider my priorities at my job so that I could create appropriate goals suitable for my capacity. Bethany put structure into my very disorganised way of life and managed to help me sort out the main overarching issues so that I could make appropriate decisions and move forward.

Bethany did an excellent job of reflective listening! Though I was a bit rambling in explaining the issues I was working on, Bethany was able to understand, and clearly and succinctly summarise my ramblings in a very eloquent way. I insist she follows me to work and translates my daily ramblings to others in the same succinct and effective way.

Bethany made sure that my action items were doable, which helped me to see them as achievable, and in turn, startable. I find overly complicated tasks are easier to push off until another time.

In the end, sorting the chaos was the number one goal, and Bethany did fab.

When I started the coaching sessions with Bethany, I felt burnt out and at a crossroads in my life and career. I wanted to gain clarity on how I could continue working in the charity sector but in a way that would be more joyful, fulfilling and freer from stress.

Bethany helped me with the immediate challenges facing me in work and the longer-term uncertainties I had about where to go next in my career. Within just a few sessions, I felt clearer about my values, what I was looking for in my future roles and the questions to ask and things to look out for to make sure my next role was right for me.

The experience was incredibly valuable. I am confident that the decisions I am making now, following my work with Bethany, are keeping me on the right track to being happier and more fulfilled at work and in life more generally as a result.

Coaching with Bethany has been brilliant. It's a breath of fresh air to have dedicated time and space to think about goals and where my business is going, unpick any day-to-day problems or worries and find solutions. Bethany's suggestions are always insightful and help me look at things in a different way, and every session seems to include multiple lightbulb moments!

For someone like myself who has only just started their career, Bethany helped me to streamline all of my ambitions and goals so that it was less overwhelming and felt more achievable.

Awen Coaching has been life-changing for me. Even though I've only had a total of four sessions it has been incredibly inspiring and uplifting.

Bethany helped me to find clarity in my values. This filled me with a lot of confidence, inspiration and courage to face any challenge and helped me to envision the life I had pictured. She helped me to put in place stepping stones that lead to my ultimate career goals as well as making sure to nourish my self-care, self-development and passions.

As I come to the end of my Digital Marketing Apprenticeship, Bethany has allowed me to feel a lot more confident in my goals as well as my sense of identity and beliefs. Thank you Bethany.

Communications & Marketing Assistant, Frank Water

After being made redundant for the first time in my 20-year career, I embarked on a new and exciting journey as a consultant and setting up a not-for-profit organisation. A cause that is close to my heart and something I’ve wanted to see in my life for a long while. But with it came a lot of responsibilities, immense pressures, feelings of overwhelm and imposter syndrome. At the time, I was also balancing family life and studies, leaving me with very little time for myself. And yet, there was so much more I wanted to do!

The Fulfilment Programme gave me the time and space for reflection, unpick things I couldn’t see and just how off-balance my life was becoming. From looking at my values, prioritising what was important, to set future direction that aligns with my vision. Bethany walked through my issues with me, held me accountable to help me move forward, challenged my limiting beliefs, gave me clarity, and encouraged me to pursue my future goals.

I would encourage anyone thinking about the programme to go for it. The holistic nature of Bethany’s coaching approach has benefited me immensely - and the people I love. Bethany is gifted and brings out the best in you, no matter where you are in your life journey. Before the programme, I would never have held the same value for the level of experience and skills I’ve gained over the years and can bring to the table to make the impact I want.

I didn't know what to expect or what coaching would achieve, but it was great to have one-to-one focussed time with Bethany and find practical and logical solutions to ongoing work-related issues. I would never have thought of how to tackle particular challenges without Bethany's help, and for that, I am very grateful. I am now passing on her advice to other team members!

Stepping up into an executive leadership role for an interim period I knew I wanted to get the most from the opportunity but also take the experience to develop my own self-reflection and build confidence, I needed a coach! and thankfully I found Bethany.

Bethany brought structure, clarity, and fun to our sessions; I set achievable goals thanks to Bethany's challenge and reality-checking. She teased out all the hidden skills learned over many years linking them to successes I had moved on from to rebuild confidence and self-reflection.

Bethany gave me the space to challenge my own thinking and confirm my solutions, gave me frameworks to explore what I wanted to achieve from this new experience at work and how to balance it all.

I can honestly say this has been a most rewarding and valuable time spent with Bethany and I know I will be coming back at the next work chapter moment.

I can't recommend Bethany highly enough, coaching can feel daunting but with Bethany, it's a breeze - Thank you.

Louise Barth
Interim Director of Fundraising, St John Ambulance

When I started my coaching with Bethany, I had been looking for full-time work for six months. I had only had one full-time role since graduating and was looking to transition from fundraising to communications. I felt like I needed a 'reset' from all of the applications I had been writing.

Bethany helped me find clarity in my values, what is important to me, and my purpose, which helped me look for roles in the charity sector. Her experience of a career in the sector is unique; she understands the benefits and challenges, making her the perfect coach for me.

In my new role at Cancer Research UK, I have been complimented on my strong sense of identity and goals, and Bethany is a huge reason for my confidence in these areas!

Coaching with Bethany has picked me up off the floor and given me a good dusting off. I felt an incredible sense of trust that I was in the right hands. Bethany provided wonderful support to me while empowering me to look deeper behind my assumptions to unlock my potential.

I now feel so motivated, which is something I really needed. I can honestly say Coaching with Bethany has changed my life! I have been able to clearly see what is not working in my life, have the confidence to change it and move forward into a more positive and fulfilled life. I’m telling everyone I know that they should have coaching with Bethany!

I enjoy and value the coaching sessions with Bethany and they have now become an important part of my personal tool kit. Access to a confidential space where I can build the skills I need to navigate my work and personal life has been so positive!

I feel more confident, calm, and far better able to cope with and respond to the challenges I face. I no longer feel like an imposter in my job! I love the way that Bethany gently guides our discussions, often leading me to a range of realisations and 'light bulb' moments that I probably would never have discovered without her. Thank you, Bethany!
