How I’ve helped…

  • Dynamic. Discovering what is underneath.

    “Cleo was amazing. She motivated me and brought more clarity into my overwhelming moments. I felt safe and relaxed enough that I could tell her anything. And believe me this is treasure for a client. Cleo helped me to recognize and clarify my thoughts and move on.“
    Veronika Sivakova

  • I am now much happier

    “Our coaching sessions helped me to gain a deeper understanding of what I was feeling in my day to day life. Cleo helped me to discover thought patterns I was trapped in that were negatively impacting me, leaving me with little motivation and drive to move forward in my professional and personal life. I have since been able to make really positive changes and I am now much happier.”

    “I enjoy Cleo’s pace and calmness that gives an overall feeling of comfort in the coaching space and I appreciate her ability to bring me back to what we are focusing on as I tend to get lost in my thoughts. I feel that I have been able to open up and share information without being judged, which has been so valuable to me…. Our sessions have helped me to make changes to how I see and approach certain aspects of my life, helping me to move forward in areas where I was previously feeling a bit stuck.”

    “I massively over think and am very hard on myself! I loved the way our sessions gave me the opportunity to reflect on the reasons around why I react the way I do.

    Cleo is focused, well prepared and always had suggestions to help me with the challenges I wanted to work on. She inspired me to want to try new things and I’m now using the tools she shared to help me deal with situations in a different and better way.”

  • Understanding my worth

    “Cleo is a fantastic coach. She has given me the space and tools to work on issues around confidence and imposter syndrome that I'm experiencing in my business.

  • Safe, supportive and insightful

    “I have valued our coaching sessions so much and they couldn’t have come at a better time for me. They have been a huge support for me at times where I've been highly stressed, anxious and quite lost. They’ve helped me to take a step back and voice what’s going on for me, but the most impactful thing for me has been all the tools Cleo has brought into the sessions. Cleo has been amazing at just meeting me exactly where I am, and I am extremely grateful for her support and the space she has held for me.”
