If you've got big ideas but don't know how to move forward, Helen is the compass to point you north. She is so lovely, so pragmatic, so real and that rare find - a coach who genuinely cares. She listens to me offload and somehow makes sense of it all. When you're overwhelmed with jumbled thoughts and you don't know what to prioritise, Helen will give you clarity, focus and direction. I've been creating a course and new brand, I was drowning in tasks but Helen helped me with her wisdom and experience. She has a WEALTH of experience - in fact, whatever your project, she's probably already done something similar, so tap into that font of knowledge.

1:1 coaching with Helen was a complete gamechanger for me. I'd been part of group coaching programs before but the difference between those and what Helen offers was night and day. Helen is so empathetic and just *gets it*. After every session I'd come away filled with clarity and enthusiasm. Helen is extremely talented at gently guiding you towards creating a business that works for you — no generic advice here! She was so supportive and encouraging as I broke down barriers around money mindset, self-worth, and all sorts of personal factors which I hadn't really associated as having an impact on my business... but of course they do, because I AM my business. Being accountable for taking action and then discussing how it went was also incredibly valuable for me. This has been my best year in business to date, and I have no doubt that my coaching sessions with Helen have played a huge part in that. She's the best!

My time spent with Helen was some of the best time I have ever invested in my business, and I would recommend her to anyone. I have been freelancing for two years and I felt as if I had hit a wall. I felt I had made as much progress as I could on my own and I needed an external guiding hand to point me in the right direction. This was exactly what I got on every single one of my coaching calls with Helen. She gave me a safe space to discuss everything that was on my mind that week, asked great questions which allowed me to bring myself to an answer, and provided relevant resources that enabled me to grow even further outside our calls. After the 6 sessions, I have seen such incredible improvements already, my confidence is boosted, my content output has improved, and I have completely rewritten my entire website. I am also receiving so many more client enquiries, and they are all from my ideal client. I also feel like I have a clear action plan to improve both myself and my business in the coming months. I will thoroughly miss my sessions with Helen!

Many coaches will tell you that you can't have real breakthroughs in just 60 minutes. Don't believe them! I booked a 60-minute session with Helen because I was feeling stuck, jumbled and needed a short, sharp unsticking before my mind exploded. Helen has an amazing combined coaching/advisory style that she switches between seamlessly when she senses what's needed. We had a brilliant chat and I've gone from feeling like I don't know what my next move should be, to actually realising WHO I AM, and feeling excited for the next stage of my business.

Helen provided a coaching session to guide me through my next stage of business development. I came away with pages and pages of ideas that I can't wait to put into action now. Her resources, experience and coaching style provides a perfect base for growing your business.

Helen has really helped me to take a step back and look at who I am and what I want to achieve. We discussed the mindset blocks that I've had and she gently "probed my brain" (her words, not mine!) into really understanding what my issues were, and what I could do to get out of my rut. I have come away feeling empowered and actioned into making a plan to achieve some good stuff. Thanks so much

Helen provided a professional and efficient service, both in instructional design as well in the development of the course itself. Her work was of excellent quality and our end client was really happy with the final product! Helen maintained regular communication throughout the project, and I always found her to be upbeat and solution-oriented.

We are extremely impressed with Helen’s (Unlikely Genius’s) ability to interpret our product, customer messages and environment into effective communication collateral. Helen is able to combine written and visual skills, to condense information and make the message flow clearly. Helen has also been invaluable in suggesting and creating appropriate visuals that fit within the brand and overall strategy – this is particularly important for our NHS partners and customers, where understanding and reflecting their particular challenges is crucial. Helen always communicates clearly and in a timely fashion, which is very responsive.

I had the pleasure of working with Helen at HMRC. She always kept an overall perspective of the user needs and the client requirements, an understanding of their wider implications in the project, was able to design content to meet user needs and make complex language easy to understand. She was also able to communicate clearly to the team who our users were and what their needs were based on evidence. On top of that, she has great interpersonal skills, a fantastic smile and was extremely comfortable with Git, CSS and HTML5. Impressive! I would love to work with Helen again.

I worked with Helen on a challenging public sector programme where she formed an integral part of the design team which successfully took our product through GDS assessment. Even though Helen had almost lost her voice, she still made a significant contribution - this demonstrates Helen's determined and positive attitude, she won't let her team down. Helen is a highly creative individual and a great person to work with. She's highly collaborative, creative and has a flexible 'can-do' attitude. I'd highly recommend Helen on a personal and professional level.

Working with Helen has been on of the easiest things I have done over the last 6months. Helen brought a wealth of knowledge, style and enthusiasm to her designs, she helped us go from zero eLearning to building a portfolio of engaging and appealing modules which are used by our 450+ students and staff. Helen helped us implement standards, create templates and training materials, nothing seemed to daunt her! With patience of saint and such a friendly approach, the whole experience of working with Helen has been one I couldn't recommend highly enough!

Working with Helen was a delight. After setting the parameters of the design project, Helen provided a clear outline of what I could expect, which meant I could be confident enough to leave Helen to progress things with little further input from me. Helen initially carried out the instructional design for a specific course for me and I was extremely pleased with the results. Because the original scope was so clear, there were no surprises upon completion and the content needed no revisions. Following this success, I asked Helen to do the build of the e-learning. Again, the outputs were fantastic with Helen achieving a good grasp of our design style and approach. I would have no hesitation in recommending Helen and her work and look forward to working with her again in the future.
