'I have loved every minute. The most valuable thing I have taken away is trying to remember my own value and having confidence in who I am.'

'Speaking to you helped everything make sense. I felt secure in your presence and not judged. You have a lovely, kind manner and a way of subtly encouraging things out. You are also able to pick up on things that I hadn’t noticed myself and help bring them to the front of the conversation.'

'Your questioning is pitched perfectly, gently enquiring, giving the client space to think & then articulate their thoughts. if challenging stuff came up, the environment you create, and the kind nature of your approach (your kindness generally) is exactly what would be required.'

'You have been so lovely to work with Jo- I have gained so much from the experience and thank you so much for listening to me. I particularly valued the work we did around facing a significant milestone in my life. I said a lot then that I would never have said out loud to anyone else and that’s because you really did create a safe space where I felt comfortable.'

'I was pleasantly surprised to find myself focusing on things, and images I hadn’t expected to, which shows the power of collaging to unlock! Collaging helped me to see patterns & connections. I have continued to ponder the theme since the session, helped by having the collage on display, as you wisely suggested.'

Stand-alone 1:1 coaching session

‘I approached the first coaching session with no expectations and an open mind, which really helped me make the most of the experience. I had read a little about collage as a coaching approach, and as someone with an artistic background, I was intrigued. However, that also brought some pressure, as I found myself worrying about the “art” I might produce. You were very clear from the start, Jo, that this was not about creating art, and that reassurance immediately took that pressure away.'

‘Having the topics to choose from beforehand was helpful, although I intentionally didn’t overthink them, as you advised. As someone who tends to seek perfection, it was a huge relief to know that I didn’t need to plan, justify, or explain my choices when selecting images. Being actively encouraged not to do so was incredibly freeing.'

'I was genuinely amazed at how the collage came together. Without consciously trying or knowing what I was aiming to create, everything seemed to make sense and fall into place naturally. This approach felt particularly powerful for someone like me, who often strives to structure, rationalise, and plan everything. It allowed me to tune into my unconscious thoughts and emotions, resulting in a collage that truly resonated with me and gave me a deeper understanding of how I am feeling.’

'I also want to give you, Jo, a great deal of credit for your facilitation. You said exactly what I needed to hear at the right moments and created a safe, supportive environment where I felt comfortable expressing my emotions. The space you created was warm, calm, and trusting, which enabled me to fully engage with the process and connect with myself.'
