Meriel Swain

I have worked with Meriel for just over a year and she has had a massive, positive impact on me both at work and in my personal life. She has listened, supported and helped me to navigate a combination of events that have been significant, life changing and have changed me as a person. Working with Meriel has enabled me to face these challenges with strength and resilience but also an acceptance that emotions aren’t a bad thing and that you can’t simple bottle them up ignore them. She has provided me with tools that are easy to put in place and actually work. I have made small changes that have changed my behaviour and my response to situations thanks to Meriel. She has become the little voice in my head and I know often think “what would Meriel say” when I find myself in challenging situations. I have no doubt that working with Meriel has made me a better person both at work and home and I am incredibly grateful to her.

I have worked with Meriel over a period of 6 months and she has been fantastic. The time was spent discussing issues and areas of my life and role that were influencing my behaviors and decisions, and she was so helpful in understanding those items and giving me some tools to use in those situations and to help me with them when they reoccur. Meriel's therapeutic coaching style gave me a few moments of "wow" and left me really thinking deeply which has then led to some really positive 'space' to work with in work and generally in life. Meriel is a very approachable person and we got along from the first time we spoke. I couldn't recommend her highly enough - and have indeed done so to a number of colleagues. B.H.

Brilliant - listened, never judged, easy to talk too. Allowed me to really open up and talk about some very difficult issues knowing that this was in total confidence. Understood my issues and created a mind plan for me to gain balance, rational thinking and always gave me an alternative way of thinking about things - always turned everything into a positive and lifted my confidence when i questioned change in both my work life and home life.

Meriel has been my coach for the last few years. Over this time I have found Meriel's coaching really helpful. Meriel for me has combined the ability to listen, and help me find the core reasoning for views and decisions, which has clearly allowed me to test my own thinking, beliefs and therefore improve as an individual and with business strategy. This has provided me with great support and provided a greater focus on a number of decisions that I have took and provides greater clarity. I can recommend Meriel as an excellent coach who can ensure you have belief in yourself and in the decisions you make. D. M.
