Debbie: A difficult situation and some underlying issues
Debbie, a busy executive, was feeling dissatisfied with how her life was panning out. She thought that a life coach would be helpful in working out a few issues. The issues included time management, procrastination and a difficult situation which felt out of her control.
Through a series of sessions with some powerful questions taking Debbie to the heart of the issues, Debbie understood that she is not taking responsibility for her situation. This realisation alone, allowed her to make great strides. Further questions encouraged her to understand why she was procrastinating. She also made some practical steps towards improving her time-management. Debbie is now taking the bull by the horns and, with my support is working towards a much more positive situation.
Susan: Had too much on and needed focus
Susan worked part-time and looked after the kids for the rest of the time. She was feeling overwhelmed with the demands on her time and felt that she was not doing anything particularly well. She felt guilty that she wasn't spending more time with her kids but was struggling to achieve what she wanted at work...and the husband...oh him?!
Using a structured approach, we worked out which areas of her life were priorities to improve. By analysing these areas, we set practical goals for each area and then devised a sequence of realistic steps to help her achieve these goals. Even after the first session when we established the key areas she needed to focus on changing, she felt much more at ease and happier. Comfortable with the very structured approach we continued to with my BalancedMum method to improve each area in turn. She is now a much more satisfied Balanced Mum, and more accepting of her limitations.

Testimonials
“Anna Davis was personally recommended to me as a life coach and over the last two years I have gone to her for her help and guidance on many occasions.
She has listened carefully to my problems, my queries, my worries with a mature, intelligent and empathetic ear. She offers a wonderfully comforting manner coupled with a sensible, analytical approach which I have found invaluable.
She combines rare qualities - the ability to listen and understand the heart of the issue, to see all the angles involved and then offer sincere, caring, sympathetic and heart-felt emotional responses wrapped up in concise, balanced, intelligent and analytical potential solutions. She is mannered and careful so you know that she has really given time to think about you and your situation. She has never pushed a particular solution but merely shown an array of options and then allowed me the space and time to explore these.
Without her, I feel certain that I could not have dealt with some very difficult personal situations as effectively as I was able and nor would I have been able to arrive at the decisions I made, so secure in the knowledge that these were the best ones for me.
I would not hesitate to recommend her.”

“I met Anna at a local community event and as a mum of a toddler, having just started back at work, I was immediately drawn to the support Anna was offering! I arranged a trial session and was impressed at how quickly and easily Anna understood my current issues (namely juggling a baby, work and study!) and her ability to direct me towards a course of action to help achieve goals that we identified in the session. It's also great to know that Anna is going to hold me accountable for those actions, which is extra motivation.”
Jane, Edinburgh
“I was slightly nervous before my free taster session as I was not sure what to expect and quite how the phone call would go. It didn't take long before I settled down with my cup of tea and talking to Anna was like talking to an old friend. Because Anna is a mum herself and because like me, she runs her own business, I really felt that she understood where I was coming from and she gave me some sound insights. Thanks Anna!”
