Brooke Huckerby
Coaching Helped Brooke Move From Feeling Frazzled To Finding Her Flow With More Productivity And Confidence.
Brooke had just returned to work after maternity leave, with a new direction and a lot of overwhelm. Feeling frazzled and unproductive she found herself constantly second-guessing herself.
Brooke knew she needed an outside perspective to move forward. The frustration of feeling like she was spinning plates, coupled with the need for clarity and direction, made her realise she couldn't do it by herself.
Alex's approach was exactly what Brooke needed to address the deep-rooted blocks preventing her from doing the work that she knew she was good at.
Alex’s ability to help clients reach a state of flow was particularly appealing to Brooke, who was struggling to find clarity and direction in her business.
"Alex’s approach just spoke to me - finding a greater awareness of yourself and relinquishing the deep-rooted blocks - all things that at that point in time were not happening for me."
Dr Darja Kragt
Coaching Helped Darja Transition From Feeling Under Pressure and Searching For Answers, To Finding Her Strengths And Being More Focused.
Darja was feeling the pressure of running her own business, spending a lot of time searching for answers and dealing with uncertainty.
Darja hoped Alex might help her find these answers and manage the pressure. Before realising that no one has all the answers, and everyone is just doing their best to navigate their challenges.
More than anything, Darja valued the opportunity to talk with someone supportive and responsive, who could help her reflect and think more strategically.
"I thought maybe Alex has some secret knowledge that will give me all these answers, with Alex’s coaching I came to accept that no one has it all figured out, despite what they tell you on their shiny social video profiles.”


Natalie Bradbury
How Natalie went from lacking clarity and second-guessing herself to the confidence to make a make a big career move.
As well as Alex’s nurturing, yet direct coaching style, Natalie chose to coach with Alex because she needed guidance and a sense check that she was on the right track.
Natalie often found herself second-guessing her decisions and lacking the confidence to trust her instincts. By having guided conversations with a coach, she hoped to better centre herself and navigate her thought processes to make positive choices.
Alex’s coaching involved looking at what else is happening in Natalie’s life. What were the other pressure points? What else might influence behaviours and mindset? In addressing these too, Natalie found bigger transformations could take place.
"I'm an intuitive person and I do tend to go with my gut, so it was a gut decision to coach with Alex. I needed a holistic view of my work and home life, and I felt like Alex brought that to the table.”
Claire de Jacobi du Vallon
How Claire Transitioned From Feeling Overwhelmed As A New Manager to Being A Confident And Empathetic Leader With Improved Self-Awareness.
Claire started her coaching journey with Alex as a new manager, she felt overwhelmed without structure, frameworks and guidelines available to learn within the company. Claire was looking for a coach with experience to provide tools and resources to handle challenging situations effectively.
"I did feel like I was drowning a bit, finding a lot of situations quite daunting. It was really nice to have someone with good experience to give me tools and resources."
Claire chose Alex because she resonated with her approach and believed Alex would challenge her in ways necessary for her growth. She appreciated Alex's ability to address uncomfortable issues and help her feel more confident and move away from feeling like an imposter.


Rosie Campo
How Rosie went from feeling stuck and challenged in her career to leading with confidence and clarity as an acting CEO
When Rosie returned from leave, she found herself stepping into a high-pressure environment. She initially sought coaching as a way to navigate the complexities in her senior executive role and to map out her future career path.
But what she discovered was something even more transformative. She was able to gain a deeper self-awareness and for this is now able to better understand her reactions, and how to lead with confidence in all situations.
Once she had the self-awareness and confidence, Rosie then put herself forward for the acting CEO role.
The dynamic of the coaching program changed - Alex and Rosie shifted to worked on navigating the challenges of stepping into the acting CEO role, a different senior leadership position with new challenges.
“While it is business coaching, it goes so much deeper for those who are willing to lean in. I didn't expect it to go there, but it's been more valuable than any therapy I’ve done before”.
